Rumor: 2024 Trade Rumors and Free Agency Thread: Post Deadline

[The Abusement Park]

Name one not named Huberdeau

Jagr. Bure. Kovalchuk. Heatley.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Pettersson also came very close to being traded at the deadline this year.


100 point players can absolutely be dealt. And, they can return some pretty insane value even just one year away from UFA. Case in point, Huberdeau.

 

[JH21]

So do we still want to trade Rantanen?

We don’t win tonight without him.

 

[BobRossColton]

So we trade out Colton, replace him with Trenin.
Trade out Girard, replace him with Behrens.

 

[Cypher]

So do we still want to trade Rantanen?

We don’t win tonight without him.

Yes. Because the cap exists and ~12m from Mikko kills our depth. Rather Drouin and Landeskog at ~11m over Mikko.

 

[AllAboutAvs]

Matts Sundin is another.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

So we trade out Colton, replace him with Trenin.
Trade out Girard, replace him with Behrens.

Absolutely not. That would be a massive downgrade and would set Behrens up to fail before he even gets a chance.

I dont really see many scenarios at all where Trenin stays. He's by far the most likely to leave IMO and I think its like 95%.

Not hard to replace this waste of 5M

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Not hard to replace this waste of 5M

Guess we might as well look for a Makar replacement as well, waste of $9M for sure, right?

 

[henchman21]

G didn’t have his best night (covering for Manson can do that some nights), but he was arguably the best defensemen the prior two games.

More than anything G needs to stay healthy. He does that, he’ll be fine in his role. If he doesn’t, it hurts too much to keep covering. He isn’t moving though as there isn’t a built in replacement yet and the Avs shipped out the only guy who could next year in a reasonable fashion.

 

[BobRossColton]

Absolutely not. That would be a massive downgrade and would set Behrens up to fail before he even gets a chance.

I dont really see many scenarios at all where Trenin stays. He's by far the most likely to leave IMO and I think its like 95%.

Trade out Colton for a semi mobile Vet RD to pair up with behrens. I know it's wishful thinking

I'm still of the mind that mikkola would've been a great addition on the backend.

 

[BobRossColton]

Toews Makar
Girard Manson
Mikkola malinski
JJ

 

[henchman21]

Watching Trenin skate like a fish out of water should stop anyone from thinking he’s a reasonable option for the 3C role. He’s excellent depth, but not way he can handle the minutes for the season.

 

[JH21]

Matts Sundin is another.

Pre cap era. All of those trades mentioned.

And Sundin never scored 50

Yes. Because the cap exists and ~12m from Mikko kills our depth. Rather Drouin and Landeskog at ~11m over Mikko.

I’ve already shown you that we can keep ALL our depth with Rantanen.

Rantanen only had 9 points in 5 games vs Winnipeg.

I sure hope we can get a solid prospect for him. Maybe a decent Dman

One injury and Behrens/Malinski are in your top4? And what about the year after when Mikko needs a big raise?

Rantanen only had 9 points in 5 games vs Winnipeg.

I sure hope we can get a solid prospect for him. Maybe a decent Dman

I'm thinking more Mikko + G for Tkachuk and Chychrun.

 

[Vaslof]

Yes. Because the cap exists and ~12m from Mikko kills our depth. Rather Drouin and Landeskog at ~11m over Mikko.

I'll take Rants over Landy considering one's good for a hundred points and the other hasn't played in years and probably won't ever.

Valid point. But common sense isn’t allowed in here.

I'm thinking more Mikko + G for Tkachuk and Chychrun.

If there is one player I’d kill to have on this team it’s Brady Tkachuk. Especially if Landeskog can’t play again.

Looking at that chart, I'd say his replacement is Samwise Girard. The most noble and steadfast of hobbits.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Not hard to replace this waste of 5M

Big guns showed up

 

[Nihiliste]

Only way you trade Rantanen is if you can pull off a huberdeau for Tkachuk kind of thing. I don’t think there’s a player like that on the move right now

 

[Eltuna]

I'm thinking more Mikko + G for Tkachuk and Chychrun.

This is an actual plausible trade offer even though I don’t think Rantanen moves, it’s similar to the Huberdaeu trade.

Its pretty quiet right now but I think the Brady wanting out of Ottawa rumours are going to get a lot louder over the next 9 months

 

[jfc64]

Rantanen only had 9 points in 5 games vs Winnipeg.

I sure hope we can get a solid prospect for him. Maybe a decent Dman

Pssccchhh. Awful.

If we're happy, a journeyman with offensive upside. Or a shut down forth line center who can win some faceoffs. Maybe Duhaime from his new team. Near trading deadline.

Maybe Radek Bonk from retirement?

 

[John Mandalorian]

One injury and Behrens/Malinski are in your top4? And what about the year after when Mikko needs a big raise?



I'm thinking more Mikko + G for Tkachuk and Chychrun.

Do you honestly think Ottawa trades that for one year of Rantanen? Get real.
