Rumor: Rumors & Trade Proposals Thread | Post Mortem '23-24 Season: Who Should Stay, Who Should Go & Who Should We Bring In?

Agreed on Ceci. However I still believe eventually these ruthless teams will end up suffering for their disloyalty for players that made them successful. Players take note of these things and so do agents. Once the allure of winning a few cups wears off they will have a hard time finding players IMHO.

It's a new world.

Players have no loyalty... why should teams?


I don't blame either of them
Under a cap... hard decisions need to be made every year.

And just like that, the Canucks fake fantasies die

Good thing they cleared cap for an overpriced Zadorov

Tampa is ruthless...

Stamkos going to UFA


Though.. in reality.. Stamkos gave up money and he won the cup twice. Tampa doesn't really owe him anything. He won.

I don't think it's ruthless.

Stamkos is a star player in the midst of his decline. Tampa wants to compete, so they can't overpay him in his golden years.

I wonder if Utah goes hard after Stamkos. It would be a nice way to show that they aren't the Arizona Coyotes anymore.

Interesting that Tampa is fine with 8x8 for Jake. Whilst Stamkos can kick sand.

This deal might lower the price to retain Desharnais.

I think the playoffs lowered to price to retain Desharnais. I don't think anyone will loom at him for more than a #7 defenseman spot.

It’s just my opinion. If I was a player and saw things like Vegas dumping Schmidt a year after signing him to make room for Pie. Or Tampa completely disregarding the services of their Captain it would make me think twice about signing there in the future.

Carolina?

Guentzel is probably better than Stamkos now. Would you want Stmkos for 8 more years?

I’m gonna predict he’ll have plenty of offers to be a #6. GMs love the tree build of huge playoff defences. And Vinny is a good player that’s huge and nasty.

Carolina?

Well Friedman said Tampa is waiting on Jake if it doesn’t get done in Carolina.

Guentzel is probably better than Stamkos now.

True. Stammer is much declined.

 

[MessierII]

Hyman was around that too though remember?

Not true. Hyman had been trending up even before coming here. It was just the weird shortened seasons so it was hard to tell.

Plus injury shortened too wasn’t it. For the two years prior to us acquiring him I think.

 

[Fishy McScales]

I can see him going to the Kings. His wife probably doesn't want to leave California and they are the only decent team in that state. If it was up to Henrique he would stay, but it's not his final decision.

Do you know his wife?

Debrusk is what he is. He is a 40 point guy who can maybe score 50 points with a good playmaker. It's important that we don't look at his for what we want him to be.

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

I’m not a big Debrusk fan and I definitely wouldn’t pay him 5-6, but he’s not bad. You can tell he really wants to win and make a difference. He’s a guy you see really pushing for goals in the playoffs, that type of spirit is huge and we could use a little bit more of that.

He’s more of a 3.5-4mil guy to me though

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Man Campbell is done.

Right ... The main issue with Campbell is his wild swings in confidence. His downfall started in the last half the the season with Toronto. The instability and unpredictability of his emotional state and play is tough to trust. I wish him the best though. I hope he gets an offer in Europe.

 

[TheNumber4]

Maybe that Flames fan pretending to be an Oilers fan knows. And she too, wants to follow her dream in Hollywood.

I view him as like Foegele++

This is from yesterday. Dear God I hope this is not true.

Shuffling deck chairs on the titanic. Flames are in rebuild mode and Debrusk won't help that much.

 

[McHelpus]

Go watch his final interview?

 

[JeffSkinner53]

I kind of feel bad for Campbell cause he seems like a great dude

 

[Fishy McScales]

Go watch his final interview?

Could you give me the timestamp where he says his wife wants to stay in California? Thanks.

What are you even talking about?

I would be fine with 4 x 4 for Debrusk. Put him with Nuge and Draisaitl to see what they can do.

Lol don’t worry about. Just referencing a troll around these parts.

 

[bucks_oil]

If Dakota Joshua gets 3, I can see Connor Brown getting an offer of 3.


Boston would keep him around if they could, but probably can't offer him a raise.

Brown is going to stay at well below $2M here so he can win a cup with this bestie and clear his conscience. You heard it here first.

Would not surprise me at all
