NHL Trade Rumors

Colorado deals:

Mikko Ratanen - 9.25
Casey Mittlestat - 5.750
Alexander Georgiev - 3.4
2026 2nd round
Calum Ritchie - .950K

=$19.35 M

To the Pittsburgh Penguins for:

Sidney Crosby - 8.7
Evgani Malkin - 6.1
Tristan Jarry - 5.375
2026 4th

=20.175 M

Was kind of bored and thinking that The Avs might give up some youth to pry Sid to play with Mack. Gino gets a few fellow russians to play with as they try to chase the Stan one more time.

Wonder if Dubas would bite or even be allowed to make a trade, I dunno lol But he at least gain two younger players in Rat and former first round young gun Calum Ritchie. Add Casey down the Middlestat and Maybe Dubas gets a go ahead for a fire sale.

Mackinnon - Sid - Lehkonen
Kovalenko - Malkin - Nichushkin

Be a fun watch ^^

This is easily the most thought-provoking and interesting post in some time.

I suppose Crosby and Malkin agreeing to this would be a big if, but you definitely have the salaries and values evened out nicely.

I really like this one!

Detroit Red Wings
- Jonathan Berggren ($825k pending RFA)
- 2025 3rd round pick (Rangers 3rd rd pick acquired from Utah HC)

New York Rangers
- Kappo Kakko ($2.4m pending RFA)

A change of scenery for Kakko could bring out the potential he has as a former 2nd overall pick. With the Rangers forward depth Kakko hasn't gotten much opportunities to play top 6 and he doesn't seem to fit the rosters build.

Berggren brings depth scoring and positional flexibility at center/RW. A chance to play with a playoff contender like the Rangers will benefit his development, and the difference in salary will benefit the Rangers in the off season when they're retooling their roster.

I would remove the pick Detroit sends and add a pick to Rangers side for taking on the bigger salary on a player like Kakko.

Wondering if this makes sense for both teams:
Habs trade with ny rangers
Mtl sends :
Mike Matheson 4.85 per
To rangers for :
Trouba (8 million per) and Gabe Perrault
Rangers get a solid defence at a discount and save money on troubas 8million per but costs them Perrault
Habs get great offensive prospect with ties to the team and also get trouba which I would either pair with Hutson to protect him and let him fly out there or pair him with xhejaj to have probably the most physically scary pair in the league

I think something like this could work, but perhaps with a different prospect.

The Habs have some talented smaller guys, but if you’re serious about building towards a championship, you can’t have too many smaller guys.

29 Nov 2024 13:39:34
not the worst trade, but your not getting perrault in that trade. my guess is a draft pick . probably a second!

29 Nov 2024 18:33:44
- If it was Matheson for a 1st and 2nd I think it would be a no from MTL.

- A 1st and a prospect that can play now is more valuable to where the Habs are now. (They already have so many picks, they need players. )

Chickenfoot. I agree but the rangers are not trading one of their top prospects for in a salary dump. maybe a lesser prospect that still might be NHL ready might get it done.

30 Nov 2024 23:27:40
Wingsfan: are you saying Matheson is a salary dump?

02 Dec 2024 12:59:34
no i am saying trouba is the salary dump.

02 Dec 2024 13:20:16
Wingsfan: gotcha.

I think the Rangers will pay a proper/ hefty price to rid themselves of Trouba if it means rescuing this season and putting themselves in the position to make a run. Competing GMs smell the blood in the water and know that Drury is under a lot of pressure from ownership. Unless he fixes this he won't be in the job by season's end.

02 Dec 2024 15:15:55
i agree but trouba has 1 year left, they will have to pay a price. but i just don't think they are trading one of their top 2 or 3 prospects to do it unless its a significant upgrade to what they have.

Clb: jiricek , chi: greene,2026 2nd

27 Nov 2024 19:14:18
Chi: Jones, teravainen nyr: kreider,trouba....ny said they want a hockey trade. Cap hit nearly the same.jones is superior to trouba, teravainen off to a slow start but is 3 years younger then kreider. Chicago does this for less term for when they need to pay the young kids.

28 Nov 2024 09:54:17
I think there’s a fit to be had between NYR & CHI, but CHI will need young players or picks. Trouba and Kreider at 30 & 33 aren’t the right fit for a rebuilding team.

Perhaps Trouba and some sweeteners to dump his contract, as long as CHI isn’t on his 15-team no trade list👍.

28 Nov 2024 13:36:59
I get what you're saying cf, I think getting 4 years of Jones for two years of trouba is worth it in the long run for chicago. Trade clause have to be worked out. Im chicago fan so trying to figure out how to get rid of Jones contract. He doesn't seem to fit the rebuild, but still playing 25 mins on a terrible team. not when Injured. Trouba is on a sharp decline but a 230 pound shooter would really help chicago.

28 Nov 2024 13:42:13
They are giving 2 30 year old for 2 slightly older players with shorter contracts was the basis.

29 Nov 2024 09:55:11
I hear ya Shoots, and it’s a pretty clever fit.

Since the shakeup tends to favour the better team, I’ll say that CHI gets a prospect or a 2nd for their trouble.

In particular, the swap of Trouba for Jones is pretty exciting for the Rangers. CHI would also be able to make an attractive trade for Kreider with some retention you’d have to think. This is a pretty clever fit Shoots🤜.
