GDT: Trade and Free agent Rumours thread | Chayka off-season edition

[Leaf Rocket]

I expect the deal to be done in thr next 60 seconds. Im done with waiting

 

[MapleLeafs77]

holy overpayment

are you sure you are a Leafs fan?

This is for the 3rd best D in the league. Obviously I would only trade knies for him but I dont think columbus would accept that.

Go to their boards. They want the 1st overall lol

 

[Americanadian]

I can see something around Carlo for Tuch+Krebs. I have an odd feeling that Tuch to Toronto could happen.

 

[NJG]

Guess this means Rielly can get 9th overall...

Seems like something like that really could happen

 

[BertCorbeau]

Rielly has to get a 1st now

Same, because it raises the cost on Knies.
You lock down a first line winger and take away the last good FA.

Then you get a haul for Knies.

Wheeler heard when SJ traded Eklund, Chicago became convinced they'd pick Stenberg at 2OA, and chose to use their 4OA on Byram instead of any of the defenseman. In theory that makes sense, but very poor execution lmao.

He also heard 4OA is very much in play right now.

 

[SprDaVE]

At this rate I'm expecting a Rielly for the 9th pick and 27th pick. Walk out that 1st round with McKenna, Villeneuve/Lawrence and Bleyll/Preston.

I can see Rielly to San Jose working. Not sure if it'll be for that big of a return. But like San Jose has 56M of cap space. They need to add roughly 20M to just reach the cap floor, and that's only really with Graf as a "big" RFA.

 

[-DeMo-]

to those who don't like the Chicago trade it's seems very obvious to me that Chicago scouts feel the players available @ 4 wont be as good as Byram, obviously Buffalo feels different or this was the best offer they recieved and didnt think they could get more elsewhere. I've said this a few times that I don't believe this group of prospects are particularly strong at top of the draft compared to other years and we've now seen 3 top 10 picks moved 4-5 days prior to the draft don't remember the last time that happened. this might be due to a particular weak UFA crop but this is a clear message top 10 picks are getting moved for guys like Byram, Eklund and Tkachuk. not exactly superstar players.

Would love that deal but do the Sabres need a Dman?

Dahlin - LHS
Powers - LHS
Samuelsson - LHS
Crevier - RHS
Timmins - RHS
XXX - ?

Carlo could be the 3rd RHS they add but then all three LHS are playing seperate pairings and Im not sure they would want that.

Also they do have Mrtka who is a RHS and a top 10 pick from 2025. If hes good enough he could Crack their team, if Not they could move him + 20th OA for Paryako type move before considering Carlo.

I could see them trying to move the 9th overall pick for a Dman

Drafting Leshunov over Sennecke and Demidov was certainly a rough one in retrospect.

I think it's a valid point. I don't remember a year where so many high draft picks were traded.

[Jimmy Firecracker]

This is getting crazy..so much happening at once

I’m going to miss Rielly so bloody much.

 

[Superstar]

So Sharks are probably drafting Stenberg at #2 and picking up a dman at #9.

 

[Morgs]

Drafting Leshunov over Sennecke and Demidov was certainly a rough one in retrospect.

To be fair, not even Sennecke believed he'd be picked close to that high.

 

[SprDaVE]

I think it's a valid point. I don't remember a year where so many high draft picks were traded.

First time in 18 years a top 5 pick has been traded.

If there's ever a former Leaf I want to win a cup - Mo is it.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Will they pick Rielly ?

I'd love to package something to them that returns Graf, otherwise, I'd push for Bystedt as the return. Would love the center depth in Toronto's organization and I think Bystedt is close! One of Sundin's Swedes.

Sharks will have Celebrini, Misa, Smith, Chernyshov, Graf, Stenberg, Musty + whoever they draft at #27 overall among their young forwards. Bystedt is probably a realistic pull from them and I woulf feel good that between him and Luc-Koblar Toronto would have a quality 3C in the making.

Maybe we can add Carlo to help them get to that cap floor a bit haha

 

[Superstar]

I don't think Sharks are trading #9 for Rielly.

 

[Buckley]

I think the Leafs will get a very nice asset for Rielly. He has far more value than Leafs fans give him credit for.
