NHL Trade Rumors

Blues trade 2027 3rd round pick and 2028 2nd round pick.

Vancouver sends them DeBrusk.

St Louis gets a 2nd line winger, while Canucks get a bit more draft capital for there rebuild.

10 Jul 2026 00:34:38
Ott: Chabot, Pinto, Cover, Boucher

Nyi: Schaeffer

Then at the trade deadline

Burakovski, Giroux, Zetterlund, and a 2nd Round Pick trade to Philadelphia for Michkov

Then in the Off-season next summer

Ottawa sends the max offer sheet possible to Celebrini.

Ottawa upgrades its 1 - 2 punch on the blueline, plus adds 2 major threats up front, be hard for San Jose to match the max offer Sheet with all the massive contracts they just aquired, plus all the high end Talent that will all be due for massive pay raises in the next few years. Worst case, Ottawa sends the Offer Sheet, then uses it to blackmail a trade for Stenberg if they take a bad contract with him so San Jose can match the Celebrini offer sheet, either way Ottawa wins.



Eklund Celebrini Batherson
Foegle Stutzle Michkov
Grieg Cozens Amadio

Sanderson Zub
Schaefer Yakemchuck
(Pairs more than interchangeable for Top)

Ulmark
Meralainen

Before you say Ottawa don't have the cap to pull this off, look at the contracts going out, Chabot - 8 m, Spence - 5 m, Giroux - 2 m, Zetterlund - 5 m, Burakovski - 5 mil, and Pinto, 7.8 m. That's 33 m total plus the 10 m when cap goes up next season making it 43 m total, and a year or 2 to dump whatever necessary to negotiate long term deals for everyone aquired and re up Batherson.

That's awful lol

You think everything any sens fan posts is horrible Facelift39, I could say Ottawa trades Stutzle and Sanderson for Crosby and you'd still say Ottawa needs to add simply because you don't respect Sens players value until after they are no longer Sens, then all of a sudden they become gold and worth 10 times more.

Please stop reacting to my posts and let people who understand the sport and how value works talk about this stuff!

The Islanders have less than 4 million in capspace, so I doubt they would consider even thinking about being way over 10 million in space.
Also, why would they even consider trading Schaeffer?

11 Jul 2026 18:00:43
Pinto's not going anywhere. Give your head a shake.

11 Jul 2026 18:42:48
I’m a Sens fan and none of this makes any sense for anyone involved.

Why would Islanders trade Schaeffer?

Chabot and Pinto are part of the Ottawa core - they won’t be traded.

San Jose would match any offer sheet and have made multiple deals with us. Why would we sour that relationship?

Why would we trade Giroux after he stayed with us through free agency?

Trade Connor Zary and a 2nd to Seattle for Shane Wright.

08 Jul 2026 22:51:35
I believe that Wright is worth a better return.

09 Jul 2026 18:09:40
Why would he be worth more than that? Wright and Zary numbers are similar.

01 Jul 2026 19:44:29
Stolarz to Carolina for a 3rd round pick.

Retaining 3 mill for 6 seasons is a monstrous ask. Van says no. Rangers say no as well.

25 Jun 2026 02:59:47
Robert Thomas

Vs

Kapanen
Zharovsky
1st 2026
1st 2027

25 Jun 2026 11:16:07
If I were Montreal, I would pass. Too much going one way, plus I would want to see how Zharovsky does.

25 Jun 2026 11:46:30
I'd counter with Kappanen, 2025 1st and Engstrom.

25 Jun 2026 14:21:00
nlues laugh in your face, would you trade suzuki for that trash?

Hage, Zhorosky, Kapanen, pickford 1st 2026

25 Jun 2026 21:21:39
Thanks for all of your replies!

I tried to make a better offer than what Habs propose for Knies thinking Thomas is a better player.

Splits feedback sound to me like "good trade offer".

26 Jun 2026 03:00:11
Thomas isn't Suzuki Colt.

26 Jun 2026 17:29:26
While IMO Suzuki is better than Thomas, the gap is pretty narrow. Thomas had an awful start to the year battling through injuries but ended the year on a heater scoring 2 hattys in 10 games.

I’m a Leafs fan and I acknowledge that Thomas does have more value then Knies and should return a better package.

I highly doubt Blues move Thomas; there was obviously smoke last year but there isn’t anymore.

If he hits the block Montreal has the assets to make this this trade and they absolutely should.

IMO Hage, 1 of Rienbacher or Pickford and 2 of (1sts 2026, 2027, 2028 or Zharkovsky) is what it would take.

This point is moot tho because Saint Louis has no reason to trade a 26 year old 1C signed to a beautiful contract.

26 Jun 2026 17:41:57
Sosa

Thomas was better till last year while he was injured. He was the better center down the stretch after Worlds.... They are very freaking close. Would you take that trash for Suzuki... no you would not.

26 Jun 2026 17:42:59
VB

You are correct sir.

26 Jun 2026 20:15:07
Thomas is a great player, but ideally MTL needs a 2C that shoots left, and who has the wheels to play with Demidov.
