Trades & Free Agency Thread: 2024-2025 Season Edition

Imo the Flames trade deadline deals last season suggest otherwise.

How so?

 

[Kiwi]

Granlund would also be a good #3C target

I'm wondering if the Red Wings and Bruins continue to struggle what guys like Zacha, Coyle and Veleno could go for

 

[Menzinger]

How so?

They traded Zadorov, a guy that multiple members of the media had linked to the Leafs (and the guys own agent even publicly tweeted out mid-game that Leafs fans will love the guy), and the Flames then traded him for peanuts to a division rival instead.

To be fair, Leafs was asking for retention while Canucks didn't

Didn’t that have to do with salary retention?

Calgary didn't want to retain ( certainly an owner decision) that's why they had less than what they could

You’d think McCabe - Tanev and Rielly - Murphy would be getting a majority of the ice time so yeah I’d be confident with OEL - Timmins/Hakanpaa for 14-16 minutes a night.

I really can't understand the love for Reilly, he's been the teams 4th best dman so far this season, he can't be played in shutdown moments, sadly they've committed long term and our stuck paying 7 million for

Not confident about that 3rd pair in the playoffs are you?

OEL has been outstanding and arguably our best defenceman, why he's on the 3rd pair and not Reilly is absurd based on play.

You really like Gourde eh? He's a small guy, who's speed isn't what it once was, and he isn't as effective now because of it. Personally, I think there are far better targets out there. Especially given his cap hit.

Zero interest in Gourde

True.

There have been many 3rd. party transactions though, to work around that.

 

[ITM]

Morgan Frost scratched today. Wouldn't mind bringing him in. Wonder if Flyers still like Robertson

I think with reason.

I could see (hope?) Treliving kicking tires on Garnet Hathaway though.

 

[ITM]

It's funny to me that the Flames (Lindholm and Zadorov to the Nucks ) and the Pens (Eller to the Caps) don't care about trading with divisional and close rivals, but supposedly won't make a trade with the Leafs based on pettiness.

Apart from Rakell and say...Sergei Murashov...I wouldn't be interested in what the Pens are selling given the likely cost.

But I'd happily trade Robertson and Danford for the above and pray that Clark et al kick that Soo Greyhound boys club level cognitive dissonance just long enough for the deal to go through.

I'd have a good amount of interest for O'Connor and probably Acciari. They fit into the salary cap and would elevate the forechecking, physicality and overall quality in our depth. And in the case of Acciari, the interest is lower but he's a pretty solid and physical defensive center.

Rakell is pretty good but expensive, which we don't have cap space for, and another skilled winger.

Do you know what rielly and timmins would look like as a pair good lord

 

[BertCorbeau]

I’d be in for Acciari if other centre options are not there

 

[Phion Keneuf]

I wonder if Flames would swap a retained Kuzmenko for Robertson+.

 

[arso40]

They aren’t retaining anything for us or doing us any favours in their mind

 

[Kiwi]

He just feels like more of the same to me

We need a 3C capable of scoring and if we're serious we need better than Acciari

 

[TheMadHatTrick]

Not sure if Calgary is inclined to trade with us, but I wonder what it would take to get Backlund. He's 35 but he's still a solid two-way center who.can be deployed in the middle 6. He's also signed for one more year with a 4.5M cap hit.

Now he’s a sneaky good add just not sure if we’re ready to win now I think we need grebby and minten to be ready for a spot although patches and Willy on the third line with him does sound extremely intriguing providing domi and Knies can be magic with matthews

Don’t people want better than Kampf? That’s not Acciari…
