Pre-Game Talk: Trade Deadline 2025: Will They Or Won't They?

[Hollywood Cannon]

So... with the trade deadline coming tomorrow I figured i'd make a end all be all thread for the next 24+ hours.

Please post any and all rumors/trades/etc across the league here.

Game stuff? You can still use the miscellaneous thread.

Devils have three seconds in the 2025 draft so there's two left.

Not great for a potential Risto deal though.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I didn't even know Dumoulin was still in the league let alone good again. And his numbers do look good.

 

[FLYguy3911]

In before the crash.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

50% retained.

 

[Appleyard]

Dumoulin getting pretty much early 2nd round draft pick value back given late 2nd+Traff (whose upside is likely a 3rd liner and floor middle six AHLer)...

Ristolainen is a similarish level player at this point. Albeit on 2 million more a year but with 2 years left as well.

A few months ago would have been crazy to expect a 1st back for Risto, now it might just be possible if retain.

Market has not been this good for sellers in years.

I kind of want the Flyers to keep Ristolainen, just to keep his streak of not making the playoffs alive.

 

[Hanover Fist]

They will trade no one. The press release has already been written. We had many offers but none of them made any sense…. We like the group we have. Trading is hard.

 

[BiggE]

They will trade EJ for a 7th and then cry about how much he will be missed.

 

[Danko]

They won't.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

There wont be many trades league wide. Following that a dozen or more GMs should be fired for not doing anything.

Doesn’t seem to apply to our doormat of a GM though.

I'll be furious if we stand pat at this point. The Calgary defeat should have put the season into stark light and god knows we need to add some real top end talent to the pool. Make it clear that anyone not called Matvei is available for the right deal and see what we can get. Utterly sick of watching Hathaway and Seeler play - no insult to them at all as they're both decent enough players but they're the poster boys of the most bland, pointless and forgettable decade of Flyers hockey in recent history.

 

[Danko]

[1865]

Honestly, furious isn't even the word at this point. After so many years of nothing I'm just finding it hard to muster enthusiasm. I live in the UK but I was there for every minute of every game as it happened. Now sometimes i forget to even watch the higlights.

 

[iceman42]

They will not move any one we are geared to the gills with playoff fever

 

[Sombastate]

the answer is "won't"

 

[Yukon Cornelius]

Prediction: Fisto and Scoot Lootin stay put, MM gets traded....for....the mascot from the Syracuse Crunch.

This is higher on my probably chart then anything, followed by trading for some old grizzled pieced together vet that is 3 years past prime.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Wouldn’t shock me if Laughton is traded in a hockey trade. Culture for culture.
Can they trade Risto without retention? Aren’t they maxed out with retention slots?

You should embrace the power of the mascot. Gritty needs someone to ride shotgun.

I'm pretty sure that they have two spots available. Hayes is the only one on the books off the top of my head.

 

[Cody Webster]

No chance they do anything

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Flyers ain't going to do shit because our GM doesn't realize our team sucks and that they need to be sellers. Gotta love how this team refuses to be better for the future because they are so up their own ass about "culture".

 

[BernieParent]

I'd just like to be whelmed.
