2026 NHL UFA/Trade Thread

[Krustchev]

He probably just needs a fresh start somewhere else. I still watch some parts of Canucks games and he's still extremely talented . . . and big.

Larkin definitely has some chutzpah. "I'm demanding a trade . . . but you can only trade me to one of these 3 teams." He's not even a great player, just a very good one.

another time Hage's name not leaked by the team,,, Almost like we are suckholing him to get him to sign before school

I’m down for Hronek. Retain salary on Gallagher if you have to.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Yeah, looks like a charm offensive.

 

[Habsy]

Send them Engstrom also, the twins love their Swedes.

Dont hand him a full no move

Not a shot blocker or crease mover , dont need him

They can tell him to F off and play out his contract in Detroit. They won't . . . but they could.

I would. Until he agreed to be moved to the highest bidder.

Hronek is a good defenseman. Better than what we have on the third pairing. If Gallagher with retention and Engstrom gets you that you do it. Likely have to throw in the proverbial second rounder too.

Ownership should step in. Fire Yzerman and woo Larkin. They won’t… but they could.

Bingo , or come to camp and lose salary

Third pair D for 7 mil , no bueno

He is a good D but we have a solid top 4 and kids in the funnel , we need a thumper

 

[lecoqsportif]

Need a young Chiarot.

Wasn't too familiar, knew Q Hughes and him made a great pair. Ideally Reinbacher becomes the thumper and we don't need him.

popcorn is more finesse than thumper

Larkin at $8.7m for the next 5 season fits our 2C really well.

Would you give the Knies package for Larkin? I think I would.

God no

More of a high IQ defender with a good stick thanks to wingspan. Which is fine. But he’s not a crease clearer.
