2025 NHL UFA/Trade Thread

[GEEMAN]

Hutson will be paid bigly.

Baked into cap management, for sure.

I see Hutson going 3 years or 5 not the full term like the rest of our yutes

 

[GEEMAN]

Lane Hutson's agent is smiling. To be fair, Chycrun is having a great season. Finally.

He is finally healthy but was always a solid talent

 

[Sal_Butera]

I think people will be surprised at the $ Hutson settles for - I expect a full 8-year term.

The players fit for coach’s vision of the game are an ideal match and both the player & org know it

I’m expecting it comes in slightly below Suzuki AAV

8 years at below Nick`s number ....Hugo deserves hookers and steak for life

Nick and others got paid before they took off , Lane has hit like a rocket with higher upside

Add in a rising cap I cant see them settling for anything less 8x 9 mil

pay him

 

[GEEMAN]

pay him

He is getting paid but not at Sal`s desired price

I can see 5x 7.5

 

[lecoqsportif]

Yeah, he might play it like Matthews. He won’t sell his UFA years on this deal.

9 for 8

 

[Habsy]

Hutson will get more than Suzuki. Easily.

 

[GrandWazoo]

Would you go 4 years x 5M for Matheson? I'd do that in a heartbeat. I'd go to 6M even. But 4 years is a good term.

 

[Habsy]

He'll get much more on the open market with the cap set to rise.

That was not the question.

 

[Habsy]

That was not the question.

Would I accept a winning lottery ticket?

A night with a Margot Robbie?

Another 60 years of quality life?

It's not a serious question for me.

Not so sure… Matheson seems to really like being near his family in Mtl

4 year 5 million as opposed to 6 or 7 at 7-7.5?

Come on now

It's not a serious question for me.4x6

Ok so yes then. It’s a pretty simple question, would you resign Matheson and at what price? 4x6 is about as much I would go.

 

[Habsy]

TBH it would depend on what's available.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Would you go 4 years x 5M for Matheson? I'd do that in a heartbeat. I'd go to 6M even. But 4 years is a good term.

Id give him a free ride to the airport. He's a rapidly depreciating asset. Let someone else overpay him.

I think he has easily 4-5 more good seasons in him.

 

[Habsy]

I want a number 2 center, Reinbacher to pan out and a solid goalie.
