Soucy to NYR for a 3rd.

...for some reason.

Walman to EDM for a 1st.

SJ tidied up there. Got Yzerman to package a 2nd with him, then flipped him for a 1st

Gryz should net a 2

I'm very surprised by that. I think Walman is actually pretty good. If it was Walman for a 2, I figured that would be about right. I'm surprised to see he has such negative value...maybe something I don't know off ice...?

Didn't understand that deal at the time. Nice job by Grier if he indeed got a 1st straight away here..

The Rangers are gonna get JJ Peterka...? Ugh, suck my **** from the back if that happens...that would be so annoying...

Stape says no, and he seems to be more locked in with NY hockey than Seravalli

Good move by the Avs.

Stars seeking to respond with Rantanen...

Man, I get why teams want a Rantanen extension in place, but this whole "we need an extension in place to make this trade" is so dumb.

He's a RENTAL. You are bringing the guy in to shore up a (hopefully) deep playoff run or be a piece that brings you over the hump. There's never a guarantee they stay. This has been the case literally forever (or at least since free agency became a thing). Look at the Hossa situation - would you have traded not having Hossa and potentially not even making the ECF versus being 2 shots away from a Stanley Cup Game 7? Hell no.

Clearly, the dude either doesn't know where he wants to go after being traded from Colorado, a place that's been home his entire career, and trying to get him to decide where to spend the next 8 years of his life in 5 minutes is extemely counterproductive. If you don't think he's going to sign the extension, don't make the **** trade lol.

Philly traded Kuzmenko to LA for a 2027 3rd.

... why? You gave up Farabee and Frost to get him and Pelletier. Seems like a hefty price to pay for a dude you were only able to get a future 3rd for in a seller's market

That's an interesting one. I have a lot of time for Norris. He's been beaten up. But he can play, he can score.

That might negate some other moves for LA. Kuzmenko has a pretty high cap I think.

It's Kuzmenko at 50% and a 7th for a 2027 3rd.

Norris and Bernard-docker for cozens and a 2nd.

I hate buffalo. Sad to see Norris go there

2.75M after retention

Rantanen to Dallas. Extension is 8x$12

Incredible. This is a testament to the state tax system beginning to break hockey as contracts increase

I’d watch for Carolina to make a run at rakell or karlsson

Post by **mikey** » Fri Mar 07, 2025 12:50 pm

Brandon Tanev to Wpg for a future 2.

Less than beauvillier? Ok.

Scott Laughton to Toronto
