Trades & Free Agency Thread: 2024-2025 Season Edition

Thinking ahead to the deadline, there's two guys I like:

C: Jake Evans. Under-the-radar bottom-six C. Right Shot PK & amazing defensively.
D: Jan Rutta: Cup winner. Big and Mobile. Right shot. A guy who can move up and down the lineup (Let's say Hakanpaa or Tanev gets hurt). Can PK.

Thank God Dubas didnt trade Knies in that Jake McCabe deal

The trade I recall was Knies, Mrazek, multiple firsts for Fluery and Hagel.

That wouldve been very bad. We need a Knies type player more than a Hagel...and multiple firsts - Yikes.

The proposed deal would have seen the Blackhawks acquiring Matthew Knies, Petr Mrazek, and 'first-round picks' in exchange for Brandon Hagel and Marc-Andre Fleury.

Jake Evans is my target as well. I think he would slide into that third line center role perfectly.
