Speculation: What is this years big, surprise trade?

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

There is usually one every year, last year we had the Vegas and SJ deal, few years before that there was the Vrana for Mantha deal, about a decade ago there was Zach Kassian for Cody Hogdson, and never player really worked out but that was a shocker at the time.

Those are 3 examples that cone to mind and I know there are others because there is usually one.

[Silky mitts]

Rantanen to Vegas

 

[5cotland]

Well.............the Rantanen trade literally happened a month ago and came out of nowhere.

I don't think many will be as surprising as that.

Juuse Saros to Edmonton for, oh, I'll guess Arvidsson, Rodrigue, Akey, and an unprotected 2026 1st.

 

[MisterT]

Marner for Rantanen

 

[A1LeafNation]

Has to be Vejmelka to Vegas.

Can't see Vegas happy with their goalies. And the Knights are known to go after the big fish.

I don't think anything Vegas does for trades is surprising. They have no loyalty to their players. Vwjmelka going anywhere wouldn't shock me.

Rantanen to Vegas

That wouldn't surprise anybody because that's what Vegas does.

 

[Pure Slaughter Value]

Dobson for something below what an offer sheet would be for him after the season. GO LOU!

 

[Chainshot]

The Canadiens, Canucks and Leafs have a three-way deal that ends all life on the HF servers for 36 hours.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Vegas or Tampa will pull off some magic and acquire someone that will shock the world!

 

[Clint Eastwood]

I think Rantanen already fit that criteria.

Going forward, I wouldn't be surprised to see a RHD with term traded. Who that would be? Idk.

True but that also happened to far from the deadline to qualify for what I'm talking about

Exactly. Weird thread - it already happened. And nothing will be as big or more surprising. Even in rants gets traded again we are all half expecting it.

Rant- necas trade could be the most surprising of like the decade.

Marner for Rantanen

How much is Toronto adding for that salary? It will be expensive.

 

[The Shadow]

Vegas is always a step ahead on this stuff

Involving only pezzetta, Nils Aman and Ryan Reaves. It just dissolves into madness on why each side won the biggest trade ever.

I figured it would involve a bantam Jordan Schroeder jersey, Louis Leblanc's first tooth, and a signed Nazim Kadri hockey card to revisit the 2009 draft debate.

 

[Vitto79]

Crosby to Avs

 

[Voight]

Rantanen to Vegas

I'm actually hoping this happens just to see this site and the hockey subreddit implode.

The Canadiens, Canucks and Leafs have a three-way deal that ends all life on the HF servers for 36 hours.

Throw in the Oilers make it a four way and this site will be down for a week

 

[StuckOutHere]

Somehow, Rantanen to Vegas.

It happened already

 

[benfranklin]

Rantanen. Done.

 

[BHFAN92]

Seth Jones and Ryan Dontato to Dallas

 

[M88K]

Surprise trade?
I'm going to say the bigger surprise is Stone doesn't get put on LTIR and magically recover for game 1 this year.
That's going to be the surprise

 

[mab894]

Seth Jones and a 2nd for Elias Petterson. Lets get crazy
