2025 NHL UFA/Trade Thread

[lecoqsportif]

First four picks in the 2013 draft:

Nathan MacKinnon - COL
Aleksander Barkov - FLA
Jonathan Drouin - COL
Seth Jones - FLA

 

[Alan C]

Sounds like Rantenan will not sign prior to deadline. Really wonder if Canes go for it with him , or make a trade.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Not good news for the Leafs.

Contrary to popular belief, not all things are judged by how affects Toronto

Ekblad is a goner now.

 

[Habsy]

I would sign Ekblad if he accepts 7.5m or under.

 

[GEEMAN]

Zegras simply doesn’t fit little ball of hate & the coach’s hockey philosophy…but his skill based game does align w MSL, whether he can help grow the other lacking aspects of his game? Who knows, but knowing each other from youth hockey doesn’t hurt..

fuck Zegras , team needs committed players not flakes

Yup , Jones is his offseason replacement

I didn’t think they keep both Ekblad and Bennett

 

[lecoqsportif]

Not sure about signing Ekblad…

Reclamation project on the cheap? I try it. Shit he's more talented than Newhook.

Good deal by Hawks

Good deal for the Panthers imo

 

[Sal_Butera]

Is this HuGo intentionally leaking to try & create a market ?

Sooo basically what we’ve been saying here for months

The retention is huge. Jones is worth 7m

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Being only 3 points out, would be cruel to players busting their bag to be in the mix to gut the team. If trading the UFAs, need actual players back

We need to try and get Crosby. He's won everything, has nothing left to accomplish, and the Pens are dogshit. The only box left for him to check is playing for the Habs. He isn't chasing a Cup like Ray Bourque was. This is simply about fulfilling his childhood dream/destiny.

Yep. Wish we had made that deal.
