2025-2026 Off Season Thread - The Rehappening

Don’t know why this keeps getting brought up. This isn’t the NBA. Sign and trades aren’t a thing. There’s simply no value in it.

If a team is against the cap you can absolutely manufacture something like that. That it hasn't been done yet doesn't mean that someone won't or can't

I’ll believe it when I see it.

Until then, I just don’t believe we’ll ever see a scenario where that 8th year is so important to the player and/or acquiring team that real value will be exchanged for it.

At most, maybe someone will cough up a piddly, token return. Like a 3rd or 4th round pick.
 
Id like to see if Nashville might be tempting for Mitch and his new family. Do a sign and trade and see if trotz maybe looks to unload on a contract. 13.5 x 8

I'd ask to take back a forsberg Marchesault...Josi obviously, he'll no to Stamkos but I could see tre maybe interested.....but I don't think so. In return for a signed marner for 8 years.

Are they a tax free state?

Eh, it also opens the door for a team that is capped out or near capped out to make more of a hockey trade to clear cap as part of the S&T.

It's not the value of the 8th year that will get value going the other way, but the ability to make a signing have less impact on your cap structure. The original team isn't going to get full value of course, but I could see 50 cents on the dollar.
 
Marners the best player to hit ufa maybe ever. When has a 27 year old 100 point forward gone ufa?

He’s an upgrade on all but 2-3 wingers.

He’s worth giving shit up for.

Assuming that he leaves, I hope that the highlight reel upon his return includes the game 7 overtime against Boston
