Trades & Free Agency Thread: Off-season Edition

[ULF_55]

It is pretty wild he's done really nothing. Barely even a prospect swap trade or anything. Usually when a GM is changed after the team struggling in one way or another, the core is changed or a big part of the team is changed.... that hasn't really happened.

Perhaps he thinks the team is good enough, with the right leadership and coaching?

He has remade the defense, with best he could with the budget he had. Am I thrilled with the changes? No. Is it better, I believe so. Is it a self inflicted timebomb ... probably.

Team lineup last playoff series under Dubas.

Bunting Matthews Marner
O'Reilly Tavares Nylander
Kerfoot Kampf Jarnkrok
Acciari Lafferty ZAR
Knies

Rielly Schenn
McCabe Holl
Giordano Liljegren
Brodie

Woll
Samsonov

11 of these players are gone, 11 remain. So he's changed half of the lineup.

All free agents or prospects drafted from a different boss. Nothing via trade unless you count Tanev as a trade. The main core is still very much here.

Still, changing half the roster in 16 months, isn't doing nothing, as had been claimed.

Yes, half the roster has been changed, but how many of those changes were Treliving's actions?

I'm giving him time, but, just asking, who did he actively trade away?

Again, his hands will be untied 2025-2026 season.

The bare minimum, sure. Filling roster spots with free agents or re-signings.

This has been floated here before, but I would love to take a run at acquiring Rasmus Andersson. This files so many holes for us, and really solidifies all of our pairings. He has two more years at 4.5.

Trade Liljegren + Niemela + 2025 2nd for Andersson. (Maybe not enough?)

Rielly - Tanev

OEL - McCabe

Benoit - Andersson

Definitely not enough and he is NOT a third pairing defender.

Yeah probably. Liljegren probably has less value than I'm thinking.

Pairing is arbitrary.
