Roster/Rumors/Speculation/Trade Talk - 2024-25: Re-Tool, Re-Group, Re-Mix, Re-Build

[Taswell]

Chychurn to Washington for Jensen and 2026 3rd, and they are favorites for Matt Roy.

WTF Chychrun to the Capitals for peanuts

I see lots of Islanders fans praising Trotz today, I'm not so sure these deals are going to work out. I'd be curious to check out their cap situation/roster construction once the day is over.

Might be sexy next year but after that yikes.

The only thing worse than knowing you did nothing is waiting forever to know you did nothing.

 

[SI90]

Washington just got 2 top 4 defensman in the matter of minutes. They need a goalie still imo

Should be used to it by now

 

[Throttle]

The East is still going to be all about goaltending.

Chychrun did not look good at all last year, and I really don't see the point unless John Carlson is cooked. I really don't see a lot of rhyme or reason to their moves. Apart from Tom Wilson, they strike me as ... not difficult to play against.

They also need to get younger. I fully expected them to just blow it up and rebuild, not try to re patch a mess

Chychrun is overrated.

Boston signs Lindholm, could be one of the Pinto destinations out of the running.

OTT needs to surrender their 1st in ‘25/26, NYI just stocked the cupbroad last week in Vegas, ‘25 or 26’ 1st + Pageau for Pinto could be the base of a deal here.

Nelson moves to wing, top six is the following.

Nelson-Horvat-Barzal
Lee-Pinto-Palmieri

 

[BMOK33]

Really shocked Boston just let deBrusk walk

Washington is just masking the the grand finale of Ovy, that’s all.

Well they just dumped 12.75M in cap to Lindholm and Zadorov and are in the hunt for Drouin.

Boston wins the offseason and deadline awards…but gets no return on all that in the playoffs.

Chychrun is overrated yes but not getting a 1st is terrible

Pageau + Bolduc and a 1st for Pinto and knowing Staois incompetence gets it done

They were very regular season built. Not built so much for the playoffs...maybe these moves change that a bit

 

[seafoam]

Carrier to Carolina on the Cizikas special (6 years x 2M per)

 

[BMOK33]

Carolina's window mighta closed. Just feel NYR and maybe 2-3 others are now way better than them

 

[leeroggy]

Anyone bemoaning our inactivity today needs to look at these contracts being given out; teams are spending like drunk sailors . . .

 

[Taswell]

Debrusk 7x5.5mil to Vancouver. Cheaper than I expected by a lil bit.

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Anyone bemoaning our inactivity today needs to look at these contracts being given out; teams are spending like drunk sailors . . .

Also all these teams suck. Shit teams have cap space.

Like when we added Grabo and Kulemin

 

[seafoam]

DeBrusk, Drouin, Skinner, Henrique, Tarasenko, Stephenson, Sprong, Noesen, Amadio, Duclair all notable forwards still out there.

 

[SayItAintSoJohnny]

Lou may have made a signing or two already, but he is the only one that has the 16-digit code to open that underground safe that holds those contract(s)

 

[MarsTBOW]

Depressed on Free Agent Day as usual every year

 

[BMOK33]

Depressed on Free Agent Day as usual every year

They had no space to do anything

 

[JRD76]

Has Lou ever signed anyone in free agency while GM for the Isles? Seems it's always a resign after a trade.
