Yeah this is what the networks dream of on deadline day. The trade market is super juiced right now

https://x.com/oilersnation/status/2069485846345228576?s=46&t=VJEkO9y0GDd340VxO96dPw Babs is the real star of the team!

Honestly I would have loved to see OTT slap FLA with tampering considering all the evidence was live streamed on a podcast

I'm not saying his value wont be higher in the future, project that however you want. But right now, these past few weeks, he seems to be the flavour everyone wants. Feels like there's been a lot of churn since the MTL fax machine rumour. Funny how that works

Lundell plays with bite so he is vastly overrated by people like Hayes. I agree with him in the sense that they should have got a roster player back in that deal IN ADDITION to all the picks. But that dude ain't even the #5 most important player on the team

Nobody wants to sell because he's at an alltime high in value and is a great fit on the team next year. But if you're going to sell now is arguably the best time.

No speculation on a potential Knies move allowed on this board!

Players are going to regret weaponizing their NMCs now in the upcoming CBAs

Yah FLA is gonna be a rough road this season, and you just know the league will promote & cater to the brothers’ sideshow, player safety be damned

Congrats to the Marlies!

Also known as a Bacon McTriple apparently

Which is why they would be getting a supposed #2C in retained Pettersson back as part of the (much bigger) package. Again, depends on the risk appetite on someone like EP but it certainly isn't difficult to fathom. But I agree that a big blockbuster trade like that isn't likely to happen, they...

What's more realistic, Knies being moved or McDavid signing here? I'm not advocating moving Knies and I'm perfectly on board with keeping him, but there are some intriguing targets and scenarios out there.

This could be cleaner if VAN wants to blow their brains out on Knies. But they'd have to be OK with 50% retention. So instead we pick #1 and #3 and let SJ take Stenberg.

If Chayka is truly a BPA guy, plus the Mats connection, I wouldn't be surprised if they took Stenberg at 2. It would actually be an incredible storyline, the entity known as Chundin with the double headed top 2 picks matching their nationalities.

Knies to SJ for 2nd OA, retention on EP, +something Rielly +something to VAN for Pettersson (25% retained VAN, 25% retained SJ) Draft McKenna and Stenberg or reach at D

Also imagine how nervous that new Vegas coach must be. 44YO, first NHL HC gig off the heels of a SC Final run led by Torts. It would be so Vegas if they sputter out of the gate and the hammer comes down from ownership.

Dark days ahead potentially

So the rumours from the bullshit insiders are teams are asking VAN to retain around ~$3M. With max(50%) retention you could get him as low as $5.8M AAV but very doubtful VAN agrees to that. Also very doubtful Rielly agrees to go to VAN unless he puts the hometown/family thing above all else...

I don't want to move Mo just for the sake of moving him, but... assuming how cooked you think Pettersson is... retained... it's interesting, especially with the potential Mats connection. Then when they move Knies for the 2nd OA+ they could have an all Swede 2nd line of...
