2026 NHL UFA/Trade Thread

[Krustchev]

We don’t know one way or the other.

I think they did and it has little to do with Hage and everything to do with Pelley who was in the room when it went down. Knies can then continue to be mad at them.

Sorry but that's now how lawyers, like Kent Hughes, roll. It just isn't.

He is not lawyering. His players were named in a very public way unnecessarily post trade deadline.

I hope he is petty enough to leak all this

 

[CH1]

Zharovsky doesn’t speak English is the line of year

 

[Habsy]

At the end of the day, I look at the incentives involved, and I see none for Hughes.

Who said it was Hughes that leaked it? In fact I agree that he wouldn’t.

 

[Habsy]

There is no fax machine. The NHL has an online portal to submit trades.

Oh great, so now pizzaboy had to do the inter web by himself?

 

[Habsy]

how do you know how Hage reacted?

That’s been my point the whole time. How do you and Krusty know?

 

[Habsy]

You’re still assuming it was Kent and that he controls everyone in the organization. It only takes one pissed off person. Even if they made it up. There’s a difference between plausibility and likelihood and your mired in the middle.

??
I said I don’t know anything about what actually transpired but I’m quite confident the leak does nothing to help the Habs.

Whereas you, HP and Coq saw the leak as a positive for the Habs

 

[Habsy]

Where did I say it was a positive? I’ll wait…


I relayed what I’ve been hearing.

I simply stated it was plausible

You and Krusty are adamant that it wasn’t plausible, which I then, and still, refute.

It being a positive for the Habs never entered my equation.

 

[CH1]

clarification

You’re not dumb
The rumour is

My bad for thinking you were endorsing it by relaying it

 

[Krustchev]

I'm starting to think Habsy leaked it . . . just to give us something else to discuss here.

Dave Pagnotta is based in Toronto. Someone there leaked it to him . . . and Friedman.

 

[Habsy]

You got me. Kent’s and my mutual friend put me up to it.

Deep Scrotum indeed

Nice recall

Let's expand this deal and include Elias Pettersson - the center, not the d-man.

 

[Stinky]

Just say no to cancer.

 

[Hoiles]

How about Hronek instead if we going to get stuck with a contract?

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Nooo. We don't want that puss

 

[lecoqsportif]

I would stay away from the VCR roster.
