2025 NHL UFA/Trade Thread

[AH$$$]

Avs like other teams offered a 4 year deal

He doesnt sign well in to August and Flames caved on a 7 year deal after their fuck up with Ktachuk

If they keep Kadri , Lek and Nichkushin are gone

They haven’t won without Kadri. They could keep Lek even with Kadri if they don’t get guys like Ross. The math wasn’t that hard.

 

[AH$$$]

There’s one center off the board.

I’m starting to think that the Stars will trade Robertson to retain Duchene. Maybe even Grandlund too.

If you don’t want Robertson for his warts, then you certainly don’t want to keep Duchesne barring a massive discount.

 

[Habsy]

I would take Robertson. Talent is talent.

Our real issue is down the middle though.

how do you trade a young talent like Robertson so you can keep a mid-30's Duchene ?

Rantanen replaced him on the wing. They need to retain their centers or they’re constantly searching like us.

You have to pivot after he turned down your offer

Its all business , top UFA`S get paid early not 6 weeks into free agency

Only if you dont think its worth paying him big moola

If they get the right offer he is gonzo

MD sint going to ask for 10 mil with term

I’m starting to sense Habs may have real interest in Giroux as a short term vet to help groom Demigod

Short term like Giroux , MD , Granlund etc...is fine until Hague is ready

Third line center

 

[lecoqsportif]

We need a 2C.

 

[Habsy]

Giroux would replace Dvo nicely. Still need a 2C

 

[lecoqsportif]

Yeah, but man it’s a heavy work load to bring in 2 Cs. I would rather have 2C sorted.

Dallas, to replace Robertson.

VERY short term.

I was listening to Shawn Starr talking about Marco Rossi. He's small but talented. Kind of like Newhook only not a brain dead moron. He produces top 6 scoring but he makes no sense for the Habs UNLESS they pick up a bona fide top 6 winger with size and grit a la Will Cuylle.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

he's way smaller than Rossi
