Trades & Free Agency Thread: Off-season Edition

[sxvnert]

Rather have Jones over Murray

 

[ToneDog]

Why is this stud taking team friendly deal? We got Rielly at 7.5m.

Would have done that.

Tre needs to address something up front for more scoring with Bert gone and possibly Robertson

 

[HolyCrap]

You might wanna put a

Bruins haven't been in the finals since 2019, it makes sense for them to try and improve. The Leafs, on the other hand, already have a Cup contender. Only slight tweaks (raises for everyone) needed

You might wanna put a sarcasm emoji after that statement. lol.

Folks will tell you the Leafs are doing a better job

f*** YOU Treliving

Lindholm at 7.75 AAV for 2C was perfect for Toronto.


Cheering for this f***ing team is torcher

Stephenson would be better IMO. Trade Kampf and Jarnkrok and you can actually fit this under the cap...

Domi-Matthews-Marner
Knies-Stephenson-Nylander
Robertson-Tavares-McMann
Dewar-Holmberg-Grebyonkin

Rielly-Tanev
OEL-McCabe
Benoit-Liljegren

Woll
Stolarz

 

[fahad203]

Would love to add someone like Chandler Stephensson. But don't have the money I dont' think

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Love spending $4.5 million on a f***ing 4C and a winger who ghosts in the playoffs. What a f***ing waste while guys like Bertuzzi and DeBrusk get marginally more than what Kampf and Jarnkrok make combined.

 

[TMLeafer]

You don't have to think every Boston move is a good one...

If stolarz signed there you'd be drooling

 

[Rude Dog]

If I am Brad, I am telling Nicky Bobby to sit at home if he doesn't want to sign. There is a real opportunity here for him for the first time since he has been in the mix. Maybe Tre waits a day or two to see if he can pick up some fwd depth at discount prices.

 

[Evilhomer]

Feeling dread for next year as basically the full lineup is complete

Everyone says this at this time of the day on July 1, but inevitably there will still be changes between now and training camp.

The draft and free agency is literally the worst day on hf boards. People literally gawk gawk over moves made on paper. Until the games start no one knows how these moves will play out.

Boston to me is the same as last year. With worse goaltending and a bottom six who will need to prove they can provide offense.

Still some decent forwards available. Maybe Brad is waiting for the initial wave to end or at least we hope.

Tavares and Marner contracts are POISON

You absolutely have $6 million left for Stephenson if trade Jarnkrok and Kampft to the likes of San Jose, for a bucket of pucks.

[Amadeus]

Need some solid 3rd liners who can really elevate our PK.

Foegele, Janmark would be very solid additions if we can make it work. I also like Sprong quite a bit for some additional offense.

 

[facelessjoe1990]

for people who say let marner and tavares walk and use the money elsewhere. What is there to spend money on next year?

 

[francis246]

Stephenson, Wennberg, Henrique are still out there. I hope we get one

 

[Evilhomer]

Overall I’m quite happy with our UFA so far. We added a top RHD and a pick moving d who can score from the back end. Didn’t hand out any nasty contracts. It’s quite obvious the plan is to spend money in 2025 which has a way better UFA crop and we will have 22 million coming off the books from Marner and Tavares

I think it would be dangerous to assume that those salaries will be gone. I think it's more likely that Marner is resigned at $1 million+ raise, and Tavares is resigned at something like $4 million per season. In that scenario, $22 million probably becomes more like $16 million, which will still open up a good amount of cap space.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Tavares and Marner contracts are POISON

I can’t wait until John’s contract expires. I don’t even want him back on a “cheap” deal, whatever that’d be. What a f***ing waste of time on an uninspiring, slow, playoff ghost.

 

[sxvnert]

Both have NTC and its likely the Sharks are on that list.

"but... but.... hes the captain!"

 

[Kiwi]

Just remember the team may try to keep a spot open for Cowan or Grebyonkin

They may force Robertson to sign something to, basically tell him to get his ass here and perform so we can trade him for a decent asset

 

[Evilhomer]

What's interesting is that I think Tampa is also far worse than last season.

The draft and free agency is literally the worst day on hf boards. People literally gawk gawk over moves made on paper. Until the games start no one knows how these moves will play out.

Boston to me is the same as last year. With worse goaltending and a bottom six who will need to prove they can provide offense.

 

[stickty111]

We should have serious interest in Skinner

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Signing DeWar isn't a change
