U r as bad as pinball.

That first trade is one of the craziest posts I've seen on this site. Edmonton is adding?

28 Feb 2025 18:11:00
EDM: Bouchard, skinner

Ana: Gibson, 3rd


---------

I also think azlatger deal could be made with zegras going to Edmonton aswell.

Pittsburgh Penguins
- Erik Karlsson ($10m until 2027)

Detroit Red Wings
- Michael Rasmussen ($3.2m until 2028)
- Vladimir Tarasenko ($4.75m until 2026)
- Trey Augustine (Goaltending prospect)
2025 1st round pick

Augustine and the 1st hold more future value. Rasmussen and Tarasenko add to the active Penguins roster as they retool and try to give Crosby a good supporting cast for the end of his career.

26 Feb 2025 19:01:03
I don't see the wings making this trade. Karlsson is terrible defensively and the pens are desperate to get rid of him and the wings aren't moving augustine or a first for an older player. if they move those assets it would be for a younger player that can be part of their core!

27 Feb 2025 14:02:16
Detroit says no thank you! Not even close! And this with no retention? I don't think Detroit does this for "future considerations"!

27 Feb 2025 15:50:07
It's pretty wild that with all the prospect talent in the Wings pipeline, you guys are hesitant to offer a 1st round pick and goaltender to improve the team defense.

Tarasenko will be hard to shop without packaging him with another player who holds more value and/ or draft picks.

Ek65 hasn't fit in with the Penguins roster, but he'd be the 3rd best defenseman on the Red Wings current roster. Detroit can absorb his entire contract without any cap concerns and the cap will increase next season aswell.

27 Feb 2025 16:05:23
DrwDave. Im not against bring Karlsson in. but you don't need to send a 1st or Augustine to get him! this is not the Karlsson from 4 years ago, if he was the pens would be alot better! chances are you could get him for a 3rd and b prospect since the pens want to get ride of him. and if the wings are going to trade those assets to improve the team its not going to be 34 year old defenseman it would be for a young dman that would fit in with their young core.

27 Feb 2025 17:06:25
I think you're undervaluing Karlssons trade value just as much as you think I'm overvaluing it.

Karlsson even at 34 can produce 40-50 points when he's put in the right situation. He should never have gone to Pittsburgh, there was no fit for him on their roster.

Considering the Wings are holding a wild card spot right now and are thin on the right side, Im more than happy to explore trades for a veteran defenseman who has playoff experience and can work well with Edvinsson on the 2nd pair. Even if that means trading a 1st/ 2nd and a prospect like Augustine or Wallinder with Tarasenko to get him off the books.

27 Feb 2025 19:29:00
I don't think i am undervaluing him at all, i think he is a good offensive defensemen, he can help this team! however with that being said he's in his mid 30's with an injury history and is a minus defensively. He is making 10 mil a year for the next couple of years. Yes Tarasenko could be tough to move but if they don't trade him they can buy him out at the end of the year. I hope the wings add him however i would be shocked if the wings gave up anywhere near what you purposed, at the most it would be a 2nd with a b prospect and the pens eating money. other then that i think the wings would pass. you can find other veteran d man that would be a plus that would cost alot less!

26 Feb 2025 03:10:40
Toronto: kampf, minten, domi..Chicago: Jones 50% next 4 years. Connor Murphy signed through next year. Domi said he liked it in Chicago kampf can return as a overpaid 4th liner. Minten is the prize for retaining and would have more opportunity in Chicago. Immediately gives Toronto a better than most teams 2nd pair. Domi did better in Chicago with a bigger role.

26 Feb 2025 14:35:06
So Toronto gets to dump 2 salaries and one B+ prospect, and gets Jones at 50% retained? I don't think so Tim.

26 Feb 2025 15:10:24
Jones is becoming toxic for Chicago. They need to dump him for anything they can get. Just throwing things out there. He needs to be gone.

26 Feb 2025 18:11:09
50% salary retention requires draft pick compensation. The market value for 50% of a $9.5 million salary for 4 years would be at least a 1st round pick.

Kampf and Domi likely won't waive their clauses to go to a basement team like Chicago when Toronto is in playoff position and could go deep if they add.

Toronto has $2.2 million cap space as of Feb 26. Kampf makes $2.4m and Domi makes $3.75m, all together that's $8.35m cap space if they trade off Domi and Kampf.

Jones at 50% off is $4.75m and Murphy makes $4.4m, all together that's $9.15 million in salary, which puts Toronto over the cap.

26 Feb 2025 01:10:32
NYI:

- Brock Nelson

WPG:

- 1st ('25)
- 3rd ('26)

26 Feb 2025 03:20:06
I would do that, but I don't think Nelson waives for Winnipeg.

26 Feb 2025 14:38:02
I think he waives for Winnipeg. Ideal spot to land for a strong playoff push this year.

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.

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.

27 Feb 2025 14:16:41
Yeah, I agree. I think Nelson would be purely a rental for this playoff run.

25 Feb 2025 20:40:50
Chicago: connor Murphy 50% this year and next , Ryan Donato
...Washington:1st and Boston 2nd this year, Lars Eller to make cap work. Seeing Washington is looking for a middle 6 forward and a second pairing defenseman, 2 birds with one stone. Eller is 35 and Donato is a big upgrade and Murphy cheap for next year.

25 Feb 2025 15:45:39
Chicago: Jones...Vancouver: petterson.

24 Feb 2025 21:44:33
Edmonton: skinner, 2026 1st ,2025 2nd ....Chicago: seth jones 2
million retained for remaining contract. Making jones 7.5 so more affordable. Skinner not working out to much in Edmonton but would have to wave no move. A long shot but would like jones on Edmonton instead of a bottom team. Bouchard and ekholm are top pairing but imagine a top 2 in the second line. Retaining 4 years is a lot. That's why a 1st and 2nd even though jones is by far the superior player.

25 Feb 2025 12:46:43
Add Savoie and this could work.

25 Feb 2025 15:39:08
I like the idea, but EDM needs a G too. They’d need to pull a trade for a starting G simultaneously or else they’d be absolutely be held over a barrel.

Any thoughts on a G for EDM? If they could find another “Roloson” trade that would be ideal, but nothing comes to mind.

26 Feb 2025 03:34:55
I was talking Jeff skinner, but mrazek has been pretty good when healthy so could do something with that. Soderbloom and when brossoit is healthy
they're fine. With pickard and retained on mrazek something could work.

02 Mar 2025 02:31:57
Basically what he got, I'm smart.

24 Feb 2025 17:47:13
Canucks and Islanders make a blockbuster

Canucks send Petterson #40, and Quinn Hughes,
Islanders send Barzal, Dobson, Nelson(to make dollars work) and 1st round pick 2025.

Both teams need a bit of a reset and this helps check boxes for both teams.

24 Feb 2025 18:05:35
Hughes is as untouchable as it gets, but maybe there’s a fit with Dobson and Pettersson with some work?

I hold Dobson in high regard. He was great in the Memorial Cup. Seeing him at Ice Level I can honestly say I haven’t seen many big men with such an effortless stride. My prediction is that NYI will lose any Dobson trade.

24 Feb 2025 18:44:09
With how EP40 is playing coupled with his contract, I don't think many teams will be interested in giving up major assets for him.

24 Feb 2025 21:17:38
Petterson would probably get that. Hughes add another 4 1st round picks, best 2 prospects and another roster player.

27 Feb 2025 05:19:19
I wouldn't trade that alone for Pettersson. He has been playing awful and because of it has the Canucks in a position where they'd be selling so low on him in a trade.

Quinn Hughes is as untouchable as they come, only way you see him dealt is if he's in a contract year and tells the Canucks that he has no intention of resigning.

23 Feb 2025 19:57:28
Toronto: nick Robertson, 2025 3rd ...Chicago Alec Martinez 50% retained

23 Feb 2025 15:30:10
2 trade proposals


Carolina Trades
Rantanen*

Toronto Trades
Domi
Minton (AHL)
1st Round Pick 2027


Nashville Trades
O'Reilly**

Toronto Trades
NRobertson
Cowan (AHL)
2nd Round Pick 2025


*Canes retain 50% of Rantanen's expiring contract.

**Preds retain 1.5 million of O'Reilly's remaining contract.


If Toronto really wants to go for it this season these 2 proposals would put them in a much better place in the playoffs, if they have some cap and assets the last piece would be a Top 4 RHanded Defenceman if possible.



Thoughts ?

23 Feb 2025 19:04:51
Those are Torontos 2 best and pretty much their only nhl prospects, Toronto would be all in this year. Matthew's proven he's nothing in big games, selling a lot of future's. This would put put Toronto in a rebuild for years but it's realistic price.

23 Feb 2025 19:56:39
Pinball stop trying to trade Toronto's useless 4th line players and overhyped minor league players for talented NHL players and then expect $ retention. Shame.

23 Feb 2025 21:24:02
islandjet1
There isn't one 4th line player in my proposal, plus I have added The Leafs top 2 prospects that are real top prospects and a 1st in 2nd Rounder.
What are you talking about?
You aren't making any sense whatsoever.

23 Feb 2025 22:15:04
I don't think the Rantanen trade would happen but I do think the O'Reilly one would be possible.

I Would add Domi to the O'Reilly trade and remove the retention from Nashville.

Or keep the Nashville retention, include Domi, and make the 2nd round pick a Conditional 1st round pick if the Leafs advance to the East finals.
