NHL rumours 10

I think Calgary should try for 2 overall pick from the San Jose Sharks.

to Sharks:
Kirill Zarubin
Étienne Morin
18th and 22nd pick this year

to Calgary:
2nd and 33rd pick this year

14 May 2025 01:23:57
I can't see that being of any interest to San Jose. If you want a high value piece you need to offer a high value piece.

Teams prefer the dollar player over 4 quarter players.

14 May 2025 15:28:06
I think the #1 pick could be in play. The #2 isn't.

15 May 2025 12:31:28
@Henklin it would make sense to seen a drop from 1 to 3 so the islanders can draft Hagens who is a hometown boy.

12 May 2025 03:14:39
Two trades that would solidify end of habs rebuild
1- mtl trades with rangers
MTL sends : Mailloux, 16th overall and Adam engstrom
To rangers for: Alexis Lafrenière ( 6foot2, 200 pounds) 23 yr old 6 yrs left at 7.4 per
2- mtl trades with ny islanders
MTL sends 17th overall Joshua Roy and a second round
To islanders for Bo horvat (6foot1 215 pounds) 30 yr old 6yr left at 8.5 per
Lines
Slavkovsky Suzuki Caufield
Lafrenière Horvat Demidov
Newhook Dach laine
Anderson Evans Gallagher

Habs could try and trade for pending free agent Rasmus Anderson
MTL sends : heinemen, second round, struble
To Flames for Anderson
Def
Anderson Hutson
Carrier Guhle
Xhejaj matheson.

- seems like a huge overpay for Lafrenière, who took a big step back this season.

- Horvat is a great target for MTL, but the Isles would likely want a better prospect than Joshua Roy, who I just don’t see developing into an every-day NHL player.

- Andersson is very good, but MTL would be better off graduating Mailloux or Reinbacher. If neither is ready, a trade for someone with more term than one year would undoubtedly be favoured.

12 May 2025 17:40:44
I'm thinking for Horvat the Habs would probably have to offer up Micheal Hage , which I wouldnt be comfortable doing, however to get these type of players, ya need to give up something as well.

Id like to see Lafrenier be added, however, I don't know what that looks like atm..

Have the management given up on Dach as the 2nd line guy?? I'm torn on this. I dont think I'm quite ready yet. However his injury history is obviously worrisome..

14 May 2025 14:38:14
I haven’t given up on Dach yet . Tage Thompson is a hopeful comparison, he started coming into his own at age 24, that’s where Dach is now, but I think for this year he’s better suited for the 3c role.

10 May 2025 18:05:41
Habs- reinbacher-struble-roy-kapanen-17th overall pick and 41th overall pick- laine cap

Nyi- dobson-horvat

Breakdown

Dobson 4 reinbacher- 1st- kapanen


Horvat 4 laine- struble-roy- 2nd pick

Thought?

10 May 2025 23:37:52
Decent offer for Dobson and Terrible offer for Horvat.

09 May 2025 15:06:07
Devils Trade
Mercer
Dillon
Nemec
Hameenaho (SM-liiga)
2nd Round Pick 2025

Canucks Trade
QHughes
5th Round Pick 2025



Thoughts ?

09 May 2025 16:17:32
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.

09 May 2025 17:05:29
memarcusjoe.
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.

07 May 2025 03:10:23
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.

06 May 2025 23:04:44
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.

22 May 2025 12:35:36
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
