Devils Trade
Mercer
Dillon
Nemec
Hameenaho (SM-liiga)
2nd Round Pick 2025

Canucks Trade
QHughes
5th Round Pick 2025



Thoughts ?

As Jersey, I wouldn't do that. Why give up that much quality youth for 2 years? Either wait, or let Hughes put the pressure on the Canucks to lower the asking price. So that he has a good, deep team to come to.

Canucks trading their best player and Captain they would want a huge haul imo.
Vancouver isn't going to give QHughes away if traded I believe.
This is something that Vancouver would want in making this type of trade, and NJ gets better immediately.

09 May 2025 17:45:27
Sure that's what Vancouver would want, but that doesn't mean that's what they will get.

If he only wants to go to one team, there isn't a lot of bargaining power.

I wouldn't do it, if he has his heart set on going to Jersey only. I'd wait until the price becomes more reasonable, but that's me, maybe Jersey management is more cavalier with their assets.

Just circling back to what sharks gm said about trading the first overall in this draft ( now he’s got second) : if a gm offers a similar package as the Ricky Williams (nfl) draft trade package, he would think about it .
MTL sends : 16oa , 17oa, and both second round picks
To sharks for ; 2nd overall and draft misa

08 May 2025 20:55:56
Who is at the top of the draft that you feel so strongly that you need to trade 4 assets for one?

09 May 2025 04:42:36
I wouldnt do that if I was Hughes.

There will be really good choices for Hughes at 16, 17 if he keep the picks.. or he goes for an established player.

10 May 2025 23:38:58
Miss projects to be a star. Outside of the top 2 there is a big drop to Hagens/ Matrone.

Not close for Misa.

Anaheim: zegras, 2025 1st (10 ova), 2026 2nd

Nyi: 2025 #1ova

I think hlthis deal is beneficial for both teams. Nyi are in limbo, they have great peices but missed the playoffs after a down season. They get more offensive help for right now with 2 peices for future building.

Anaheim is right at that cusp of being a playoff team. Adding a long term stud on defense will compliment their developing team for years to come.

Lol my coffee just came out my nose! Hahaha.

05 May 2025 03:59:56
I believe rangers are gonna go for a retool, I think they’ll go after Mitch marner and to do that they’ll have to trade panarin and or will give up on Lafreniere after a 45 point in 82 games
This is where habs should strike. Panarin would be perfect for demidov
Habs trade : Newhook, Anderson, both 2025 first round, both 2025 2nd round picks , Jaden struble and Owen beck
To rangers for : panarin and Lafrenière
Habs trade with Nashville
MTL sends : Mailloux , Roy , 3rd round
To Nashville for Ryan oreilly
Slavkosky Suzuki Caufield
Panarin oreilly demidov
Gallagher Dach Lafrenière
Heinemen Evans Florian Xhekaj

03 May 2025 22:32:22
2 options for habs in trades
1st option, if Pittsburgh is in full rebuild I would target Crosby and Malkin
Habs send : both 2025 1st round, 2026 first round, Dach , laine ( for cap reason ) ,

04 May 2025 00:18:32
I don't think two firsts and two throw away players are going to interest Pittsburgh for one of those guys, let alone both.

Neither player is likely moved, but if they did move them it would most probably be for young NHL players.

04 May 2025 15:10:09
3 first round picks, a former 3rd overall (24 yrs old) and a former 2nd overall (27 yrs old) for a 38 yr old and 39 yr old seems fair! Especially for a team in a complete rebuild! … add Mailloux if that’s what it takes.
Slavkosky Suzuki Caufield
Newhook Crosby demidov
Gallagher malkin anderson
Heinemen evans kapanen or beck

04 May 2025 16:35:41
I do see a push to get Crosby this offseason, it will take a lot more than that plus Laine right now is a liability, as for Malkin he made it very clear he will not approve of any trade out of Pit and he has a NTC.
If Montreal can somehow get Crosby and sign say Brad Marchand without taking too much from the current roster, Montreal will be a Team looking to win the division next season imo.

04 May 2025 17:20:27
I missed one of the picks, sorry Sidekick. So, the value is nice, but Montreal isn't going to do that and neither player will agree to leave Pittsburgh.

04 May 2025 20:30:13
I agree with Memarcus.

It’s kind of amusing to see all the trades for MTL and PIT. The Habs are executing a solid rebuild and are unlikely to deviate from the plan, nor is Crosby likely to waive and permit a trade at this point.

03 May 2025 20:31:24
Islanders Trade
Mayfield

Leafs Trade
NRobertson
Kampf*
Benoit

*Kampf would have to waive his NTC if The Islanders are not on his list.


Mayfield gives Toronto another CTanev Carlo type RHanded Defenceman which Treliving is always looking for.

Islanders at a point to start making changes and yes Kampf has to be part of this type of proposal, but for the future this is the type of smaller deals I see them doing.



Thoughts ?

05 May 2025 16:43:16
Benoit has been playing lights out these playoffs and is signed to a cheap deal. There is zero reason to deal him at all. Not one.

01 May 2025 13:36:13
Chicago offer sheet to knies,7.5×7. Toronto can have their pick back and a a 2nd,3rd. Leafs can match if they let marner go.

01 May 2025 17:04:56
Any offersheet would involve next year's picks and the team making the offer has to use their own picks, not ones acquired that originally belong to another team.

02 May 2025 04:53:16
Not sure why someone would disagree with my previous post, as they are the offersheet rules, but whatever.

02 May 2025 10:54:10
Renidrag is 100% correct.

(Whenever someone downvotes something that is factually correct, and not just opinion, it’s always kinda funny to me, so that’s how I’d take it🤣)

🤜.

Mtl: Laine , chi: 3rd

30 Apr 2025 02:31:57
I really believe the Habs will take a serious shot at Crosby:

Crosby
Vs
2x 1st round Pick in 2025 (Habs and CGY)
2x 2nd round Pick in 2025 (Habs and Pens)
Mailloux
Dach
Kapanen
Beck
Laine (or not)

Habs become playoff regular and Pens start the unevitable rebuild.

As a Habs fan, I rather not trade Hage, but it may be a dealbreaker...

30 Apr 2025 15:43:23
Probably a little less than no chance Crosby leaves Pittsburgh if what he and what Pittsburgh's management have said is to be believed.

02 May 2025 05:29:44
27 year old Gretzky didnt even get half that. I'm a huge Crosby fan, but no way would I wanna see all that for a soon to be 38 year old .


Ya want Crosby.. here is a more realistic proposal

To Mtl..
Crosby

To Pgh.
Dach
Engstrom
Cgy 2025 1st
MTL 2025 2ND

And that's that.. all that id pay.

Blockbuster trade proposal for habs all in
Montreal trades with buffalo
MTL sends : laine , dach , both 2025 first round, 2026 unprotected first , Mailloux , Farrell or Roy
To buffalo for Tage Thompson and Alex tuch
This trade gives habs same cap hit

28 Apr 2025 02:05:51
Buffalo needs young, NHL players coming back, not more futures if they're giving up those guys.

28 Apr 2025 15:54:01
This is a great trade for the Habs but not so good for the Sabres. I agree with Memarcus that Buffalo would want a players like Caufield and Dach in return for Thompson and Tuch. However Montreal wouldn't trade Caufield.

26 Apr 2025 21:50:23
Wondering if habs can trade laine in offseason for 3 options hoping laines name carries value
1- mtl trades with buffalo: mtl sends laine for Alex tuch, habs save 3.5 million
2- mtl trades laine to Nashville: laine for o Reilly, habs save 4.2 million
3- mtl trades with Pitts : laine for Malkin to mentor Demidov, habs save 1.6 million
This gives habs plenty of cap and players to trade ( Dach, Mailloux, kapanen, beck, engstrom, Roy, struble, farrel ) and premium picks to add!
Wouldn’t hate Rasmus Anderson for the right price to solidify dcore
Anderson hutson
Carrier guhle
Reinbacher matheson
And still add a top 6 forward.

26 Apr 2025 22:39:58
I really thought things would work out for Laine in Montreal. What the heck happened?

He's just been sliding downhill since Winnipeg moved on from him.

26 Apr 2025 23:33:11
If the sabres agreed to trade Tuch for that plug Laine, they may as well fold the team.
