Trades & Free Agency Thread: 2024-2025 Season Edition

[Malachi Crunch]

On the fan 590 this morning, Mike Futa implied that he knows Ryan O'Reilly. He said that the O'Reilly-not-wanting-to-play-in-a-big-market theory is completely overblown. He implied that O'Reilly didn't like Sheldon Keefe and that was more of the reason for him leaving.

Thought it was interesting.

Can Murray play 30 games? Maybe you bring back Tarasov in the proposed trade.

The plan is you promote one of Hildeby or AA or you just re-sign Stolarz if he continues to be the best goalie in the league.

Honestly your best point yet. I am focused on playoffs where I don't see the benefit of having a high-value back up goalie.

I'm not saying moving Woll is the only way forward and it has to happen. I am proposing a trade and some people on this board can't open their mind enough to even think about the possible benefit which is why I am still defending the idea.

Well with today’s news about Stolarz does it make you reconsider your position?

I'd be asking for Cowan and if Leafs decline, Minten+.

For Strome at 2.5 for 3 years I think we have to consider it.

I think he would be good with Nylander but we can also run a Knies-Strome-Marner line.

 

[Skullz]

I would be all over Kaako from NYR. We need to take chances on young talent.

Robertson and a 2nd for Kaako?

If we could acquire and extend Frederic from BOS, I would look at that too.

Would do that in a heartbeat

I think Rangers will get more for Kaako than that... but I'd consider it. The momentum is swinging back to a 3C being the priority though, and Kaako isn't that. Neither is Frederic a 3C. Both are nice players, just maybe not the priority...

If you did pick up a 3C... would Kaako as a subsequent transaction supplant McMann, or Domi on the third line?

Are you sure? Kakko has draft pedigree but he’s in his sixth season. He hasn’t done a lot in that time to warrant a big return

Kaako has diabetes and celiac disease

Yes, I think they'll do better than a late second round pick, and a tweener like Robertson....

It makes me less confident in Stolarz for sure. I’m very curious to see how Woll does with a starters role. He can easily prove me wrong here.

 

[TMLAM34]

Wonder if the Sens would listen on Pinto.

Minten will be better than him
Next year

Before we start dumping assets we need to see if our goaltenders can stay healthy come the playoffs.
I would tinker this year he'll our core 4 haven't showed anything in the playoffs.
