2023/2024 Trade Rumors and Speculation Thread

[Harry Lime]

Are there many underperformed d out there to be had? Two interesting ones mentioned lately are nic haugue in Vegas and nils lundquist in Dallas. There are probably more that are just buried on a teams depth.

- when the "insiders" make glib comments and try to shut down conversation. Dissentowner has repented for this, and I'm sorry for bringing it up again, but an example is exactly with him saying "don't bother speculating about Vancouver for lindholm" in the trade thread when people were proposing the exact trade that ended up happening a week later. If you're going to present as an insider, people are going to problematically take your word as gospel, so you have to act more responsibly imo.

- when we spend pages of thread debating about the insiders, or when people make post after post appealing to their authority or demanding an update.

Anyways, y'all do you just try not to stomp on other good parts of the boards while "having fun" or whatever.

I apologized for that comment. I didn't think Conroy would trade him to a rival like Vancouver and I was wrong.

Not to mention you don’t have the decency to reply like a civilized adult.

Also, It’s PM, not DM. For someone who’s been here this long you should know what things are called and how they work.

Maybe smoke less grass.

They should make a limited series about us.

Is it limited because you lack stamina?

It was a joke, I don't care if posters post rumors in here...that is what the thread is for. The more rumors the better.

Please keep posting everyone

I see us as a better fit for a streaming platform. It’s like cable but it’s through the internet.

I only accept work for productions being distributed though traditional mainstream channels. My agent also agrees that accepting a role in anything with PepsiFree would be damaging to my reputation.

But I’ll happily consult on your production Gen-X Teaches a Millennial How To Send a PM.

I acknowledged your apology in post and didn't mean it as an attack on you, just highlighting when "insiders" detract from the board and why it creates a potentially problematic atmosphere. I also agree with your post and don't at all understand why anyone would want to fake this for no gain.

I don't understand.

Or more. I think its more problematic when they're further from their regular comfort.

I was pretty surprised but I think the return was by far the best offer. I'm glad Craig is using his head and not his heart

[Monahammer]

Amen. That was the biggest green flag possible on Conroy. He made a very logical all business choice. Great trade.

[Monahammer]

I'm still thinking Marky is going to be moved. I know Dissentowner disagrees, but I feel it. There's also been way more smoke from media sources in the last week. In the same vein of rationality as the Vancouver trade, I think Conroy will get it done.

NJ
Edmonton...

I hate the edmonton option most, but if you were trying to sell Marky on an option that doesn't require him to move far at all from the new child, that might be the best case scenario. And connor is a draw for some players. Personally I don't think he would put them over the top and would risk it if we could get Holloway and Broberg.

[topfiverecords]

Holloway better get rescued asap or his career is going the way of Yakupov and FrankenBerry.

From a need and fit perspective, Toronto and Treliving stands the most to gain from a Markstrom and Tanev or Hanifin deal. With Markstrom doing so well recently, and Trelivings familiarity with them (along with his trading with familiar players), I'm utterly shocked he hasn't given up the kitchen sink at this point. It's exactly their two positions they need help with.

It’s been awhile since I’ve been in here… Is this satire?

I would love to get Nic Hague. He has potential he’s never going to unlock on the Knights.
