2026 NHL UFA/Trade Thread

Still need a significant addition to the top 6.

Sure. Wing.

Hage and Reinbacher and a first

I’m more bullish on Engstrom than Rhino.
Rhino will get injured every year. He plays like he constantly needs a massage

that would leave us with only 2 RD though, that is a tough risk.

I also think Hughes wants at least to give Reinbacher a shot

Engstrom is a legit NHL D, but don’t we already have enough of that kind of blue liner? We either need a crease clearer or someone more strictly D oriented.

And RHD is an issue.

Is he Guhle fluke after fluke injury or can he not take a hit without getting hurt

Engstrom played on the right side in both Sweden and Laval

When I watch Rhino play he looks uber stiff — so not surprised when he gets hurt

Maybe he just a victim of bad luck — we’ll see

Engstrom is good defensively but not the crease clearer we want — but neither is Reinbacher

You develop him and then trade what you don't need.
