2025/2026 Season Trade Rumours and Speculation Thread

I would add Sherwood as a high valued target for the combination of his hitting, scoring, and cap hit. A team can and will overpay for him. He may not score as well as he is in Vancouver due to his role, but hits are guarantees.

The gap between Kadri and O'Reilly is probably very small, if existing at all. That's probably the most challenging competitor we have to deal with in the trade market to extract best value for our players. IMO Andersson and Hughes are different trades.

5) Coleman

There are a bunch of other pieces from Vanocuver and Nashville, but I would these are your 5 premium pieces rumoured to be moving this season. You can make an argument about the ranking in the last 3 spots. I think Coleman may draw the most interest out of those 3. O'Reilly has a much easier contract to move than Kadri does (shorter term, less money, and no protection). It will be interesting to see the prices as these moves happen. Hughes will be an interesting move - does another team other than NJ step-up with a big offer?

Brayden Schenn would likely nudge out Coleman based on position alone. And as the playoff picture firms up, several other Coleman-tier players could become available, like Anders Lee, J-G Pageau, and Alexander Wennberg.

But yeah, if Kadri does become available the Flames will have two of the top three assets on the market.
