Player Discussion: official trade deadline 2025 // discussion thread

[stevo61]

All I’ll say is, if we’re going to be buyers (aka keeping Provorov) I hope we sign him because letting him walk rather than taking a first rounder doesn’t seem like good asset management. Even if getting to the playoffs would be cool, is that really worth losing out on a future asset?

yes

 

[CBJWerenski8]

yes

And if you miss, was it worth it?

Depends on what the offers actually were and to me also depends on how healthy the team starts to look around the deadline. If we get bodies back and they want to make a real push for the playoffs then I think that is considerably better for the team than something that is maybe a player someday in the future.

Well I’m under the assumption you could get a first for him. So, if that’s the case, then yeah, I don’t think it’s worth keeping him if you miss.

If all you’re getting is 2nd rounder offers then yeah, keep him.

I'd say the odds of passing up a first, if we don't expect to sign Provorov, are very low. Not something to worry about.

There will be no rentals for 1sts. I think we either head towards the draft with 3 1sts or we move some for pieces we can use next year and going forward. Either trades for guys at the deadline that have term (cough Pelech, cough Bjorkstrand), or trades at the draft.
