2025/2026 Season Trade Rumours and Speculation Thread

[Shazam]

For all we know a trade happened and everybody's just waiting for the NHL fax machine.

Personally, I'd love to see if we could get back Pelletier somehow. Loved the jam he brought to our lower lines and the vibe he brought to the locker room, and he clearly loved Calgary. Maybe Connie can catch Briere drunk again and snatch him back.

I'm not a sycophant though. I'm not willing to sit there are just take the spoon fed garbage that some of you lap up!

Stay Classy.

Or just wait for him to show up on waivers.

I think the Flames are in the midst of a full-blown rebuild. The only move in my mind that they made that gave me a second thought about it was the Frost-Farabee acquisition. Sound like Rasmus is leaving. Doesn't sound like the Flames are planning on trading picks for players. Doesn't sound like the Flames are really going to be spending a lot on the UFA market.


I am sure some might argue, but I see this team being in on the McKenna sweepstakes next draft. Conroy isn't an idiot - this is not a contender. Vets are being shipped-off when they enter their last season under contract. Conroy isn't really interested in forcing guys out.


This will be another hard-working team that has to have a lot go right in order to get wins. They will again have to out-work opponents, and they will be in the margins all year again. I just don't think they will get to as many OTs. I don't have any issue - as part of 'team rebuild' - with how Conroy is operating.



In my opinion, this is a fairly OLD team, not a young one. Calgary's strength is coming from mostly their vets + Wolf + Coronato + Bahl. Out goes Andersson, in comes Parekh. Out also goes Hanley who was a steady presence in the top 4. Flames are going to be worse defensively, and we don't know who is going to be in net for ~35 games this year - better or worse than Vladar?


Let's hold off on the anger and vitriol and complaining until we at least see the finished product a few some days after July 1st? Let's say.. we will give it to July 10th to really start the bitch fest as to how stupid the Flames are for not tearing it down, or how stupid the Flames are for not addressing certain holes on the roster to push this team into the playoffs.

Might be able to grab him off of waivers if he is exposed, though it may upset Briere. Flames would also have to make a few moves in order for him to stay on the roster - team is really full, especially on the wings.

You're not wrong. He's barely replacement level.

I have a vision of a bidding war where Conroy is large and in charge. He is talking the ears off of the GMs that are showing up with serious offers and the other GMs are getting polite 10 minute goodbyes where he probably hangs up mid-sentence because another GM is calling.

2OA is the goal, but there are other options that meet the need.

C or nothing!!!! It doesn't have to happen today because July 1st is right around the corner.

Stay on target!

Here is what I am hearing. There is still a lot of dialogue between Buffalo and the Flames. I don't know if that pertains to Andersson, I think it's more of Byram. As far as Andersson goes the Jackets and Stars are both very interested and lead the pack. Ottawa, Detroit, Florida, Montreal, NYR, San Jose, Toronto, Utah, and Vegas have all shown interest in Andersson. There has been nothing offered so far that I have been told that meets what Conroy is looking for in return, I don't know exactly what that is, just that he is not ready to pull the trigger on anything yet. Plenty of interest and the Flames believe the best offers for Andersson are yet to come. I will keep you posted if I hear more.

Boy are you going to look stupid when we trade Rasmus for 2OA, Celebrini and Marleau's retired jersey from the rafters!

[dissentowner]

I imagine the Montreal inquiry came before the Dobson deal but I don't have a timeline on that.

Thanks Diss. Interesting to hear about Buffalo. And I like that Dallas and Columbus are in on Andersson. I could see trades with either team being a good fit.

Perfect, don’t forget get to kick the chair out from underneath me. I’ll hang where that Marleau jersey was.

He doesn’t even care!

[Jiri Hrdina]

So Andersson to CBJ for Sillinger or Voronkov + 1st.

And then the Flames trade Pospisil + something else for Bowen.

That's my prediction.
