The Official 2026 Off-Season Thread: Revenge of the Nerds

[Preston]

What do you think Tre would be doing rn if he was still here

Kicking tires on every big free agent, missing out, then scrambling to get 2nd and 3rd tier 3rd pair d and 3rd/4th line UFAs to fill out the roster

 

[Preston]

Oh and maybe finalizing that horrific Knies trade

Fuck me that trade looks so much worse today doesn't it

 

[Feyd]

And he totally would finalize that trade because "it's the right thing to do" or some folksy bullshit. Pelley straight up intervened and saved us, Final Destination style

Nothing. Waiting till July 1 to see which free agents can't find the AAV they like and offering them a one year deal for more.

Completing the Knies trade with the Habs after resetting his password

 

[hockeylover]

Yeah him doing nothing would actually be a blessing.

And Tre actually had the benefit of trade deadline premium

 

[CH1]

Tre would also be scoping out what he could get for a package of Maccelli, Carlo and a 3rd

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Actually he wouldn't, because he's incompetent.

Jokes aside, he'd probably have extended both already. He would never have traded them.

random q of the day - would there be a world where we trade the FOA for #2 and #9 and it makes sense?

In a world where there wasn't actually much of a gap between #1 and #2, it'd make some sense.

We do not live in that world though.

According to the draft pick value sheet, trading #1 for that haul is a winner!

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Gotta follow the chart, man. Always.

 

[Blueman]

no one trades FOA's. It's nice to have some fun and hope again.

Still say he's going to San Jose

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Then give them a bigger grab bag and get the 2nd overall.

Apparently, anything is possible today if you just offer it before midnight.

But I still believe Dreger makes up stuff.

 

[Blueman]

if not, maybe Vancouver for EP

I feel like this has been reported 35 times in the past week

The only way that Vancouver is going to the playoffs is if they buy tickets
