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

[Mr Misunderstood]

I'm off from work on Friday so I'll be smashing the refresh button just like everyone else to see what happens.

My gut says he'll make some trades because it's just too obvious for everyone to see what's happening. If he doesn't then it'll signal he's really out of touch more than even I thought possible.

So it's you...you're the 404 Error culprit.

 

[LeapOnOver]

I don't know.... I think there is still a good chance we hear, "these guys have earned the right to let the season play out..." Yada Yada nonsense that makes Lou sound like a great guy, but a weak GM. He's like my dad who was hard as diamonds growing up with my siblings and me, but now is a total teddy bear with his grandkids.

Same here but I’m already on it today.

Is there a problem if there’s smoke coming out of my iPhone?

Slow news day so far

 

[SRBisles]

Gourde back with TB should sit well with isles fans

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

Vrana waived by WSH, worth a shot as a pickup* for the rest of the season to see if he can get his career back on track?

*only if we are in tank mode and offloading Nelson & Palms

Would be amazing (ly bad) if Lou waits out the market and all other buyers make moves so they feel set and/or don't have any more cap space to acquire any Isles.


"If you have the time, you take it..."

 

[impaaaaaact]

Which teams are still shopping ahead of the NHL Trade Deadline?

Ranking the buyers by their perceived aggressiveness and identifying their top needs.

t.co

Lots of Isles on this list

Vrana has been trying to get his career back on track for about five years now.

 

[Green]

I am already getting angry at the notion that Lou is going to do nothing or very little and we are going to hear about really good offers that Lou turned down, how do I control this anger?

 

[impaaaaaact]

Jesus f*** please sell already

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

If you're not committed to pushing for the playoffs this season and trading away from NHL regulars, what is the harm in inserting him into the lineup?

Blocking some prospects from being called up to the big club from Bridgeport?

 

[impaaaaaact]

Would have taken this for Nelson and Palms. If Lou sells is there a way we get… more than that??

 

[SI90]

This is the perfect time to sell for us. We need to do it. How often to you have one of the most if not most coveted guy in a sellers market.

Nelson has almost the same amount of goals as Gourde and Bjorkstrand together and they got 2 1sts lol

Add in Palms and this is a no brainer for us.

Lou better not f*** this up

There’s a non 0 chance the two of them = 3 firsts.

There’s a non 0 chance Pageau is worth a first.

We can complete a retool in one season if this is handled competently

Some combo of picks and prospects. I agree

 

[Arsenalogist24]

That Gourde and Bjorkstrand return.

We have got to sell, come on

 

[PK Cronin]

I have two recommendations.

1) Accept it's already the worst case scenario at all times and then you can't be disappointed.

"You think there's still hope, but the only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're already dead."

2) Just unplug and have other hobbies.

He could also get married and see what real frustration feels like

That’s absurd, and will make the outcome of the next few days infuriating, most likely.

don't know about you brother but playing hide the salami for a few days with your sig other seems to work sometimes.

Amen

 

[SRBisles]

Lou is still actively trying to re-sign Nelson according to Staple and Rosner
