Trades & Free Agency Thread: 2024-2025 Season Edition

Ulmark getting 8.25M x 4

Matt Murray 6.25M x 4
Korpisalo 4M x 5
Ulmark 8.25M x 4

The first two were major flops and looked risky the moment they were signed

I think the sens overpaid by 2-3M for Ulmark. Lets see if he can be an elite #1 who plaus 50+ starts for them

 

[Warden of the North]

If we can move Kampf, Jarnkrok, and Liljegren for actual assets (preferably picks), that would give us 7.5 million in extra cap space and at least 3 picks to address one of our roster needs.

Jarnkrok can stay. Kampf and Liljegren make too much for what they bring.

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

I think Jarnkrok is the obvious choice to move first. If players make Kampf and Lilgren redundant over the next couple of months I'd move them as well for the best picks offered.

They'll probably get a good return closer to the deadline, especially if they retain. At least a 2nd and one of our good prospects.

I would do that easily

A serious acquisition would be Joel Ericsson Ek.
Cant imagine Minny moving him but if they start bad maybe they go scorched earth and you send Knies plus to get him.

He'd be a dream. Acquisition and it would take a hefty package to make minny even think about it. It would hurt a lot to aquire him.

 

[Fogelhund]

Our 2C sucks. He only put up 65 points playing 17:52 a game, because he played a lot with a 98 point winger.

Hey, here is a great idea.

Let's replace him with a C, who put up 64 points, playing 20:32 a game, who played with a 96 point winger.



Jokes aside... I like Ek, great contract, great defensively... zero chance Minnesota moves him though.

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

I think Sam Bennett would make a great 2c if the panthers don't retain him.

 

[Rare Jewel]

I think Sam Bennett would make a great 2c if the panthers don't retain him.

The Sportsnet crew was throwing around the idea that he could make Canada's 4 Nations team.

Which means he's going to paid.


They need to find their own Bennett at the stage he was at in Calgary.

 

[stickty111]

In retrospect it likely would have been much smarter to have just dumped Lily at the draft for a pick and then spent that 3 mil in free agency

See that would require Brad figuring out he's allowed to make trades, but he doesn't know yet so he signed him.

 

[ULF_55]

I think Sam Bennett would make a great 2c if the panthers don't retain him.

So, odds he(Bennett) re-signs for 8*6mm?

That's good money for a 40+ point center.

 

[Fogelhund]

Florida will be an interesting one next year.

The Cap is allegedly going up $4.5 mil next year.

Verhaeghe just took $2.83 of that.

Ekblad and Bennett are the two key ones left who's contracts expire. Ekblad is at $7.5 mil, and Bennet is at $4.425. They also have seven nearish league minimum players, who either need replacing, or new contracts.

So they've got $1.67 mil left (in salary increases), to hand out those contracts, unless they trade away someone.

 

[WTFMAN99]

I think that with the latest Woll news, I am done. It isn't this injury or even last playoffs, it is his entire body of work with the organization. He could not stay healthy as Marlie and it's been quite some time since he has eclipsed 30GP in a season.

I think we need to see what we had in Hildeby, maybe even as soon as tomorrow and through the year, if he looks good, I think Woll is the one going.

I don't think we'll have a hard time moving Woll, even with injury concerns, given the current goalie market with Ullmark pulling 8.25M and Dacord pulling 5M

lol wild aren’t ever moving him no matter what! Wild aren’t ever rebuilding when they are planning to sign kaprizov long term! They also aren’t moving a young C on long term contracts

Verhaeghe’s worth every penny imo……..

 

[Rare Jewel]

Any reason to take a punt on Jost?

Carolina like their numbers, and I'm curios as to why they would sign him.
