BUF: Tuch
TAM: Geekie + 2nd ('25)
26 Feb 2025 01:10:32
NYI:
- Brock Nelson
WPG:
- 1st ('25)
- 3rd ('26)
1.) 26 Feb 2025 03:20:06
I would do that, but I don't think Nelson waives for Winnipeg.
2.) 26 Feb 2025 14:38:02
I think he waives for Winnipeg. Ideal spot to land for a strong playoff push this year.
3.) 26 Feb 2025 15:56:27
MG69, I'd sure like it if Nelson would waive and this was the acquisition price, I'd be all for it.
4.) 27 Feb 2025 05:10:42
@memarcusjoe it will be interesting to see what the market value is on some of the players this year. I do think Nelson would be strictly a rental for the Jets, maybe Helly convinces him to resign though.
5.) 27 Feb 2025 14:16:41
Yeah, I agree. I think Nelson would be purely a rental for this playoff run.

If there is any truth to the rumour that BUF still has interest in Pettersson in exchange for Cozens & Byram, then VAN should jump on that trade.
Pettersson would undoubtedly benefit from a change in scenery, but he's too soft to help a contender. Loads of talent, but he's a sulker.
Coach Tocchet would undoubtedly prefer Cozens (who is younger) and Byram.
I would be very excited for VAN fans if they were to pull this off. It would prove to be a lopsided trade in my humble opinion.
1.) 06 Feb 2025 20:03:33
just wondering. you said Coach Tocchet undoubtedly would prefer Cozens. what is that based on? a conversation with Tocchet? or the fact you don't like Pettersson.
2.) 07 Feb 2025 03:46:38
Cozens hasn’t performed this season. Even compared to Elias Patterson. The sabres also would get higher upside.
3.) 07 Feb 2025 11:08:07
Hey Balsam, based on what Tocchet brought to teams when he played, and how he said he wanted his team to play when he took the job, I feel like Cozens is closer to that. Sure I don’t like the player, but it’s not hard to imagine that Toc would rather someone a little less delicate too. With the addition of Byram this trade would be a home run.
4.) 07 Feb 2025 17:37:05
I think the judgment of Pettersson being soft is over blown. He doesn’t play any softer than any other high end player. He didn’t get along with a teammate but he didn’t seem to make a big deal about it. Miller was the one that took time off and got caught pouting on the bench.
5.) 07 Feb 2025 21:06:16
Swap out Byram for Power and the Canucks can add if necessary. But I think Vancouver would want Power over Byram.
6.) 08 Feb 2025 00:58:07
Does cozens have what it takes to be a first line center.

CLB trades Jiricek to MIN for:
- Öhgren
- 2026 3rd
- 2026 4th
14 Aug 2024 20:58:22
EDM needs cap relief and some youth, so here's one option:
EDM:
- Ceci
- Kulak
- 1st (2025)
MTL:
- Harris or Struble
- No retention means EDM gets full relief for the 1 & 2 years remaining on Ceci & Kulak's deal.
- EDM gets a choice of 2 good young D that won't cost too much.
- MTL recycles some D depth and cap space for another 1st rounder next year.
There's a million ways to slice and dice EDM's situation, and help isn't going to be cheap. They're still my cup pick if they can keep Broberg and Holloway?
1.) 15 Aug 2024 11:48:56
Although the chance of owning another 1st might be appealing to MTL, I think, they need to give out ice time to their young D and Ceci + Kulak fills two potential spots.
Also, Ceci has had a bigger role with EDM last year and Kulak has been decent, they'd be removing much needed depth to their blue line
2.) 15 Aug 2024 18:55:12
I agree with all your points Matador 100%.
What I left out was that MTL flips them after camps when injuries or gaps in lineup present themselves.
Still, if it risked blocking a spot for a younger D to your point, it's probably better for MTL to just be a "3rd party trade facilitator. "
3.) 18 Aug 2024 16:08:42
It's not a horrible idea. I'm just wondering what Habs could flip the Oilers players for. Also, maybe see if the 1st round pick could be 26, or 27.
4.) 19 Aug 2024 16:41:44
SOSA: EDM is REALLY capped out, so whatever they do will be fascinating?.

Off-Season Bobrovsky Contract Options:
CAP HIT: Next 3 seasons at 10M/year.
TRADE: less likely, given FLA has already traded their next three 1st-round picks, and moving it wouldn't be cheap.
BUYOUT: to buy out the next 3 years it would create a cap hit of 6.666M for 3 years, plus 3 more years at 1.666M. Ugly, but necessary. Bob's game is structurally unsound and at 35 to start next season he's unlikely to be able to change some of his bad habits. (i.e. side to side movement.)
The buyout is ugly, but why waste one more season of this team's core? (At least it's better than the MIN buyout.)
Like Buckley's, it will taste awful, but it will work (better) than status quo.
1.) 17 Jan 2023 19:07:46
3 years of saving 3.4M then 3 years of only 1.6M isn’t actually that bad. They don’t really have any expiring contracts so maybe they wait one more season with him?

I'm curious how WPG fans assess PLD's trade value. (Full respect WPG fans - sorry to bring this up.)
I respect Jets' fans and I hope they get good value for him in the way Treliving with Gaudreau.
Given that PLD will have to wait 2 years to "possibly" sign with MTL, and the fact that every NHL team now knows his preferred spot, his in-season trade value is impacted. It seems like the best chance to trade him is as a deadline rental. (For several reasons I don't see MTL as a logical trading partner.)
At the Trade Deadline I can see a max value for PLD as a 1st and a 2nd or a good prospect. At the least I see a 1st.
I'm curious how WPG fans see this ending. Island Jet, you're a legit WPG fan and a prudent/realistic observer. How do you see the PLD saga concluding, and where do you gauge the return?
(My apologies if this posts twice. I posted yesterday but perhaps something went wrong on my end?).
1.) 09 Aug 2022 15:08:53
I believe that if the Jets can't sign PLD by the trade deadline the Jets have 3 options.
1. trade him around the new year to a team that has a young skilled player that needs a change 1 for 1. Similar to the Laine trade.
2. trade him at the deadline in which they will get a couple of prospects and draft choices. This is a future trade if the Jets believe they need a do a rebuild.
3 trade him at the draft where they will get the best return of a top end player, A prospect and/ or high draft pick.
2.) 10 Aug 2022 05:08:18
I think assuming he is dead set on signing with the habs is ignorant. I’m sure if a team like Tampa has the cap room he’d consider there in a few years.
08 Aug 2022 16:55:44
Just to change the subject a little.?.I'm curious about what WPG fans think about PLD's trade value.
First and foremost, I respect WPG fans, and I want them to have a great season and get a fair deal for the PLD asset.
Given that PLD is an RFA this coming June, and a UFA the following June, and given his interest in landing in MTL eventually, his value seems to be that of a pure deadline rental. Whoever gets him knows they're unlikely to re-sign him.
I doubt the Habs will trade for him. It's not the right fit for a few reasons. Therefore, if true Cup contender is looking for a 2C-3C for a playoff run this year and next, I suspect his max-value is:
1st & 2nd
or
1st & decent prospect
What do you think Jets fans? What will he bring, and when will he be traded?
1.) 08 Aug 2022 18:59:18
I would like to see the Jets trade him 1 for 1 to a team that needs a change from one of their young, top end centre/ wingers. This type of trade can happen anytime by January or at the draft. If the Jets trade PLD at the deadline they will get A prospects and/ or high draft picks.
I would like to see them get a 1 for 1 top end player but if PLD doesn't sign long term before the deadline then he has to go by the draft.
2.) 09 Aug 2022 13:24:50
PLD's minimum value at the TDL in two years is a first and a good prospect.
So, if he is moved now, you would need to pay for those extra two years and would need to add probably either another good prospect or a young top 6 player.
Most likely nothing happens until next summer unless Chevy gets a too good to be true offer.
20 Apr 2025 00:20:14
Most importantly, it’s Crosby that says no.
He’s made it clear to those that know him best that he's a one-team athlete. He’s given absolutely no indication to think otherwise.
24 Mar 2025 13:21:30
MG: Jim Nill does as good a job as anyone managing his cap. He's got 6 contracts coming off the books next year, so he'll have to pick and choose who he'll re-sign, and who he'll go after to replace those guys.
By most accounts Duchesne likes it in Dallas, as most do, and if I was a betting man I think he'll re-sign there.
If I'm the Habs' GM I don't see a need to trade for any D and block development paths for the kids, UNLESS it was for Dobson at the right price. (I still think the Isles would be foolish to give up on him, but Dobson has been a whipping boy on the Island this season, so anything is possible I suppose. )
24 Mar 2025 01:38:49
This is in Pinball territory.
20 Mar 2025 17:54:56
Habs say HECK no.
Having a player like Demidov fall to you in the draft is simply too rare. No chance a rebuilding team passes on realizing his potential within the structure of their rebuild.
20 Mar 2025 17:51:12
The Price contract is over at the end of the 25-26 season, so it doesn’t hold the Habs back from making moves.
Dobson is a great target, and while the Habs have the trade capital for such a deal, the Isles would be foolish to move Dobson.
I don’t see Bennett leaving FLA, and I think Duchesne re-ups in Big D.
The Habs have the parts to exchange for a 2C and whatever else they think they need in a trade this summer. My guess is that it will be a 2C in the 25-27 age range to fit with the core of the team.
