2023/2024 Trade Rumors and Speculation Thread

[ForeverFlameFan]

It feels weird to have a GM that knows we need assets. Really fun season with the trade talks swirling around us.

Maybe they are working on the conditions for the pick(s)

[Jiggy_12]

There could be numerous things that can hold up a trade. Especially if Hanifin is part of the deal and an extension is being worked on. Those take a while

I just wanna know if we're getting Mercer or Holtz so I can go watch highlights and not risk disappointment if we don't get that guy

If Hanifin is involved it is very likely both.

I choose to believe the reason we're seeing so many posters claim to have inside info is because Conroy is as uncontrollably chatty as he appears to be.

At least I’m almost done this dead Friday at work. Got enough in the weekend to not F5

"If Vancouver wins the Stanley cup *and* the Chiefs threepeat *and* Calgary's pick is lower than sixth *and* Calgary's first rounder from Vancouver in 2024 is a player with a last name containing the letter 'w', then Calgary receives the Devil's first rounder in 2025 provided the price of gas in New Jersey is below $4.00 a gallon on July 1st. Otherwise, Calgary receives their second round pick in 2024 and three roster players and prospects with black hair to be named later, and a conditional third. The conditional third is dependent on Ovechkin's goal total at the end of the year as well as the results in the election of chairperson at Martha's bowling league council later this month (Martha works in the Flames office)."



I trust this is simple and clear.

I just don’t want to get my hopes up and then all of a sudden it’s Casey and picks

I’d be ok with that if it’s multiple firsts with Casey and Mercer if Hanifin is included.

Mercer, Casey, 2024 1st, 2025 1st for Markstrom, Hanifin.

Fitz probably called Craig first thing this morning and asked him how it was going. Once Conroy finishes talking, I'm sure the trade will go through.

[Naitix]

I hope the trade goes down soon, I am scared of it falling through, we won't get a better return for Makrstrom

[Flames1217]

When can we open the trade thread!!!

This is killing my productivity lol.

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

Should create a roundup of all "insiderrr" posts and put it in a separate thread.

I think 6 or 7 different posters have chimed in claiming to know something is stirring.

They've been suspiciously quiet today though.

There is no point of rounding up the posts. Rasta was the last one to post saying something was going down

We don't even know what the return is lol

I think there’s wisdom in having so many rumours floating around the ether that nobody knows what’s true and what isn’t, only that something is happening.

[Macho0978]

If Hanifin is in the deal, I bet Siegenthaler is too. They won't need him, and I don't mind if we take him on.

Mercer, Seigenthaler and 2 firsts. We might get a bit more still, but I'd be ok with that.

The majority of trades happen within the hour as there is only a 1 in 60 chance of them happening on the hour.
