2025 NHL UFA/Trade Thread

That’s what I’m trying to figure out .. why would any team want to get rid of a 27yr old 30G+ player w pace .. ok he’s a bit sofff and not your prototypical Armstrong type player but still?
a bit soft ? Maybe we need a winger that's not a bit soft to play with Demidov.....we already have non-physical top 6 players Suzuki, Caulfield, Demidov....adding another (Kyrou) might not be the best way to spend 8M

Also, shouldn't we spend that money on a 2C instead ?

I think Bolduc is management's solution to play wing with Demidov....now we need that 2C to complete the trio

I’m assuming the “non soff” player on that line is expected to be Dach…
 
Matheson has value....and it depends on how much $$ he wants

But you didn't include him in the deal

We should have drafted Cooley
 
Unfortunately none of us knows what the fuck the Blues are trying to accomplish here. We know what motivates the Habs to want Kyrou but we dont know why the Blues want to move him other than perhaps his salary. If we knew the "why", then things might be more clear.

Demidov isn’t soft. He hits and takes hits.
 
Per Maxime Truman of Dan's les Coulisses...

"From what I've heard, it seems like Kyrou—the team's highest earner at $8.125 million per season—has hit a ceiling, and guys like Jimmy Snuggerud, Jake Neighbors, and Justin Carbonneau will be able to fill Kyrou's shoes better, and perhaps for less money."
 
Can’t have everyone in the top 6 making 8M in two years

At some point we have to consider trading Cole if we get a bunch of non violent 30 goal scorers
Bingo , we need a few players on the cheap not all getting paid at once

Plus CC`s no trade clause kicks in a few years
