2025 Trade Deadline

[Cornuck]

May as well put them all here and see how this week plays out.

The Tampa Bay Lightning acquired Oliver Bjorkstrand, Yanni Gourde, Kyle Aucoin and a 2026 fifth-round pick in exchange for Mikey Eyssimont, first-round picks in 2026 and 2027 and a 2025 second-round pick. The Kraken retain 50% of Gourde’s contract. The Detroit Red Wings also entered the deal as a broker, retaining 50% of the remainder on Gourde’s contract and acquired a 2025 fourth-round pick from the Lightning for doing so.

I knew the Canucks weren't selling high on him:

The Penguins have acquired a 2028 fifth-round draft pick from the @SanJoseSharks
in exchange for defenseman Vincent Desharnais.

Rantanen back on the market? Would the Canucks do Petey for Rantanen?

If this type of move was made - I rather see them aim for a younger player. 23-25 to fit in Hughes' window. If you are just moving money for money (Rantenen is going to get PAID), I'd hope it wasn't for a guy who will be 29 when the season starts.

Devils adding:

The Devils are finalizing a deal to get pending UFA D Brian Dumoulin from the Ducks in exchange for a 2nd RD pick and a prospect.

Canucks should be able to get some good returns for: Soucy, Forbert and Suter. Hope they try to move on from Boeser as well as I don't think he would be worth his ask.

Avs have upped the ante in the West.

Different Brock....

.....edit......

Annnnnnd it looks like Dallas is close on Rantanen.

Different universe than our group these boyz play in....

Rantenan and Dallas fail, so far on a contract extension. Carolina and Dallas have a deal worked subject to Dallas being able to get an agreement on a new deal. Carolina so far has only given permission for Dallas to speak to Rantenan’s agent.

First round picks being thrown around like Candy - is Walman a 1st rd pk worthy defenseman? I know the Oiler's pick is going to be a late round one, but still. Seems steep.

If the Baldies can make the 11.6 x 8 go away they deserve the ring of honor.

Now that would be a feat.

I'm a bit torn on this - as I really don't think they would be able to trade that contract without taking on a lot of the cap hit for whatever team acquiesces to the risk, and is OK with giving back a good package.

Or they don't take on a major retention, and get a bag of pucks.

I am optimistic that he will turn it around. Doubts are there that he will live up to this contract - but hopefully the cap will continue to rise with the current world conditions, and it won't be a boat anchor.

Optimist Popnosticator Prime: Canucks, transform and ROLL OUT!

Hear me out:

Boeser to Winnipeg for their 2025 1st


Petey and Winnipeg 1st for Rantanen

Rantanen's projected cap is 13M over 8 years. I don't see the value here.
