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

[henchman21]

Just FYI he burned quite a few bridges in the KHL as well. I'm sure he'll head back there eventually but I don't think they'll be as welcoming as one would assume.

So... you're saying he was freebasing in the KHL?

Doubt that would've resulted in any punishment over there.

If Ottawa is serious about a shake up we need to target Brady Tkachuk. He'd be the perfect replacement for Nuke/Landeskog.

True, but we have his agent's word that Nuke doesn't do drugs... he doesn't even drink!!

What would your offer be?

With what money? If you replace Rantanen with Tkachuk, you still need to trade away someone in order to sign Mittelstadt, maybe Drouin and fill out the roster.

Probably something like Tkachuk+ for Rantanen. The + wouldn't be very much IMO. Hell I'll do it straight up TBH.

Not really assuming Nuke is going to be gone.

Well that does nothing for the cap but it certainly makes us much harder to play against and look at so that’s a win

 

[BobRossColton]

@Muffin I'd think rantanen would have Ottawa on his 9 team list.

Get a decent haul for mikko first then use that for tkachuk..

Does nothing for the cap next year but will save us in the future. Tkachuk is signed long term at 8.2M as opposed to giving Rantanen a 12M extension.

 

[LOFIN]

Nuke will be gone, no doubt. How and when his contract will be gone, and will it be gone without a cap penalty? That's totally up in the air, and very much could still be up in the air even when the season starts.

 

[BobRossColton]

Send mikko to canes for Jarvis+

Jarvis+ Avs 1st + for tkachuk

This is just a contradicting post. First of all, if you want a haul for Rantanen, the team acquiring him needs to know he will sign an extension there. As good as Mikko is, no one is paying a haul for a one year rental. So if somehow that miraculous trade of Tkachuk for Rantanen was to come about, it would mean Ottawa and Mikko already have a framework of an extension in place.

Why wouldn't you just send Mikko and a first for Tkachuk? Why involve Jarvis at all?

 

[henchman21]

One thing I'm confident about this offseason, Mikko isn't going anywhere. Except maybe the convenience store to grab a pack of smokes.

I think he’s trying to say that Mikko wouldn't waive for Ottawa or re-sign there so you’d have to involve a third team (like the Canes) that he would sign with and get a haul from then for Rantanen and flip that haul for Tkachuk

Fair enough. Why would Ottawa do this? Brady might be unhappy, but they are not in a rebuild. They are trying to take a step forward, fight for a spot in the playoffs. What are they going to do with futures or bits and pieces? Then trade them to another team for a marquee player?

Smokes and a 5lb bag of gummy bears.

That’s a bold claim. I’d say it’s at least 60/40. And if not signed July 1st, each passing day the trade odds gets higher.

Better be Black Forest.

In theory, if they want to change their locker room a bit.

But if I'm sending mikko to the canes, I'd probably just keep Jarvis, get him on an 8x7.5 or something

Were you afraid that MacK was also getting traded because he didn't sign July 1st?

The Avs have shown they will take their time. Landeskog was literally signed 1 day before he hit UFA.

 

[Pokecheque]

So long as the smokes are Silk Cut or Du Mauriers there shouldn't be a problem.

 

[LOFIN]

Yes, but they are not in a position where they want to take away a good player and just add futures or lesser players. They are not in a rebuild anymore.
