Speculation: The 2026-27 Roster Speculation Thread: Summer Edition - Throw in All The Oars, We're Trading for Battleships

[TommyDangles]

His RFA status is pretty much a NTC at this point.

Turned down Seattle. Turned down St. Louis

If Dallas does trade him I don't think the return will be that great

 

[LiseL]

Honestly, I believe Quinn is worth quite a bit more than Spence. I'd be willing to add for sure.

I think Spence is going to come in somewhere around the 5.000 range on a medium to long-term contract

I'm a fan of both teams but I think Jarmo's ask would be either LD Kleven or 2027 1st (deep draft next year) and Jarmo includes Levi. Doubtful Staois would offer either one. Sens don't have a lot of size on their D.

 

[enthusiast]

well, at least we know guerin wouldn't let robo in the group chat

 

[Sabre the Win]

I'd love to see the following trade with NYR:
To NYR: 4th and 20th OV, one of either Krebs or McLeod + D prospect for Trocheck and Schneider. Throw in Levi and/or 2nd rounder as a sweetener if needed. Try to avoid including Mrkta but Schneider is only 24, a stay-at-home RD. Would be a perfect partner for Power IMO. Also, they'd both be more comfortable arriving her as Carrick is already on the team.

I nearly passed out reading this, that proposal should have seizure warnings. Don't read if you're on a pacemaker.

 

[LiseL]

Can't believe I undershot Byrams value like this

We all did as well as 31 other GM's.

 

[LiseL]

I’m hoping Jarmo picks at 4 and 20 and keeps the prospect pool at a high end. Then deal from the 2027 draft picks.

I've read that the 2027 draft is much deeper than 2026, especially for centers. As long as they don't trade away their 2027 1st, I'm OK with that.

 

[LiseL]

I wonder if he splits the difference and uses 20OV as a trade piece and he sticks and picks at 4OV unless he gets an offer that absolutely blows him away.

I'm hoping that's his plan.

 

[LiseL]

#4, next years #1, Ostland and Mrtka for thomas Parayko. Who says no???

Is that you Davidson?

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

they were probably trying to see if it would go away with blood thinners and rest first.

That was reported. They thought they would go away with standard treatment it wasn’t until the Olympic break that there was an idea that this was a problem that wouldn’t fix itself.

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

Chris was a fan like you or I back when WBEN had their evening sports programing with John Murphy and the station had a contest to find a local fan to be on the air. I think he took the nickname from the TV show Frasier. Sometimes he's still just a fan. Mike it feels like slipped out of love with sports when he got passed over by ESPN Radio years ago.

Funny my dad always says the same thing.

 

[LiseL]

McLeod, Malenstyn, Doan, Carrick, Östlund, Quinn?

I think Quinn could grow with new tasks. Time for him to become a complete top six forward.

I think even Benson would be great on the PK. Norris does PK as well.

 

[Chainshot]

Funny my dad always says the same thing.

...son?


I kid, I kid.

Good, now Parayko knows what it's like for a player to not want to play for his team. Thomas might be thinking why do I want to be here now.

 

[Chainshot]

#4, next years #1, Ostland and Mrtka for thomas Parayko. Who says no???

St. Louis has indicated they aren't moving Parayko or Thomas as of today. So... St. Louis says no.

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

...son?


I kid, I kid.

No u dad

I kid

Honestly if I found my dad was posting here for this long and it was as renowned and respected a poster as The Chainshot… I don’t know what I’d do.

Worlds would collide, a doctor tracksuit divided against itself cannot stand.

 

[Paxon]

I've read that the 2027 draft is much deeper than 2026, especially for centers. As long as they don't trade away their 2027 1st, I'm OK with that.

Their 2027 1st will hopefully a crappy pick like their 1st is this year. I certainly am not caring about how the draft class looks a year ahead of time. It should be one of the first assets on the table.

 

[Reddawg]

#4, next years #1, Ostland and Mrtka for thomas Parayko. Who says no???

Parayko. Again.

 

[LiseL]

i have a hard time believing multiple teams were lining up to sign Raddysh to that contract after he produced for ONE season for the first time at age 30.

Alex Tuch is a consistent proven performer. and 11AAV Probably does not make as many teams balk as the Raddysh deal.

Read somewhere that Raddysh made it know he wanted to go to the Leafs, hence the low return.

 

[LiseL]

Hahaha, imagine losing Tuch and turning around and giving assets for Trocheck. Unbelievable.

I don't know, I think he's a good player. two-way 2/3 Center, great in the dot, can produce, good contract, wants to stay in the East to be near family in Pittsburgh and wasn't he on the U.S. Olympics team? I'd have no problem giving up #20 and one of McLeod or Krebs for him.

 

[Classic16]

Which can be a recipe for being mediocre for years to come when you can't attract top-end UFA's and are on most players NTC/NMC. Sometimes you just need to rip the band-aid.

I agree, but management and coaches dont think like that. They want to win now, everyone thinks they can make playoffs and anything can happen after that.

 

[LiseL]

I don’t know. Still hits and wins face offs and handles himself in his own zone while scoring at a 2-3 C rate at 5v5. He’s got a ways to go before he’s full Laughton. It depends on price. If the cost is a protected 2027 1st, I’m game.

Or this year's 20th. Or McLeod + B prospect, can even throw in Levi. Having 3 centers who are defensively responsible, good in the dot, can PK (Norris, Trocheck, Carrick) will help out when team plays river hockey.

 

[LiseL]

Or hear me out, Dallas does a sign and trade and we send them a 3rd.

He's not UFA, he's still a RFA.

 

[Chainshot]

He's not UFA, he's still a RFA.

I mean, I would like Robertson for a 3rd too.

Seems like he may want to go home to California? Maybe the Sharks? Guess eventually we'll find out. Right now it's the NHL franchise version of 99 err, 32 beer bottles on the wall until they get to the one he'll go to.

 

[LiseL]

Very lucky that so many GM's obsessed with size skipped over him. What a steal at #13.
