Roster/Rumors/Speculation/Trade Talk - 2025-26: Welcome to the Darche Side

[Glorydays22]

JR doesn’t care what the cost of the trade is. He cares about getting paid and what team is paying him. He effectively has a NTC clause bc his hand is ‘I’m not signing with you’ which shrinks the available market significantly. Teams are not going to trade for a guy in the offseason on try before you buy basis.

You don't think other teams can beat that offer you proposed?? 2 1st rounder (mid-rounders) and Duclair for a signed Robertson. I think you are way off.

Maybe, but if it’s CAL and OTT, you think JR cares about DAL ‘better offer?’ Nope.

I think Ottawa beats that offer easy.

With some of the smoke around Barzal, it might be that Montreal have been offered Barzal and checked in on Horvat instead to see if he was available instead of Barzal.

Its quite possible that Montreal have Barzal and Trocheck as options and are deciding which direction to go for 2nd line center

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m a huge Horvat fan, I’m so happy the Isles are saying no to teams trying to get him from us.

Or Isles said, Barzal is not being traded, and they then asked about Horvat, and they said, No.

Turned down 8 years 120 million

Then I would assume the insider trading would have said the asked about Horgan and Barzal and were told no

 

[boredmale]

Shame on Darche for not giving a fat no

Not exactly fair to say, for all we know Darche presented the opportunity to Horvat (who has a full NMC) and he said f*** off.

If you turn down 15M per you clearly have a destination in mind...

I think it depends on what was offered; for a good enough offer, i'd be willing to move Horvat

 

[Chockey22]

agreed, looks like he's pulling a Dobson. Knowing he can get a 1 year arbitration deal to UFA, he can dictate where he goes

I like Horvat too but we don't really know who is saying "No" here because Horvat has a full NMC.

 

[Throttle]

I think Ottawa beats that offer easy.

Sure, but it’s his decision to not want to sign with OTT. So, the package don’t matter of who can offer more, it’s where is he amenable to go. (Strike one: Not Seattle).

Or you have no interest in playing for a Sabres 2.0.

 

[MarsTBOW]

Barzal and Pelech for Werenski and CLBs 1st plus whatever else. ($15M+ gone)

Trade Isles and CLB 1sts and Duclair for a signed Robertson. ($3M gone; $13.5M for JR).

That’s $18M out; $13.5M in. Use $3.5/4M of the $5M on AJ Greer.

Robertson turned down $15 mil a year to the Krackheads lmao

Uh-huh. They probably asked about the Canadian Olympic player that played with Suzuki, not the one that didn’t even get an invite.

 

[MarsTBOW]

Well, by the end of this weekend, Barzal is still an Islander…you’ll know what his market value is to the rest of the league.

No one is calling…

who wants to pay a #2 center 9,2 mil a year?

Only as a consolation prize…

 

[MikeyMike01]

Amongst the non-playoff teams, Is it just the NY teams along with Detroit & Vancouver the only teams not to have made a deal? Might be a reason we struggle every year to get into the playoffs, management seems satisfied with our roster

True. With only the draft, free agency, and three months to go until next season—we’re really running out of opportunities to change the roster.

 

[Glorydays22]

With Robertson turning down the Seattle deal. It's obvious it's not about the money but wants to win. My guess he could turn up in Buffalo, SJ, Utah....Maybe Chicago

No shot at Florida, Vegas, Minny, Carolina
