2025/2026 Season Trade Rumours and Speculation Thread

[reddude]

I saw on an earlier post here a couple months ago about Coleman to T Bay and the hope would be Connor Geekie, the more I look at this kid the more I think this would be a great trade for us with some other moving parts.
Geekie and a second for Coleman 50% retained this year and next 6-4 C who plays all forward positions and 21 probably more of 3rd line Centre maybe 2nd but certainly fits in what we are doing here

We're not getting an 11th overall, 6'4" 21-year old centre with high potential for 34-year-old winger Blake Coleman, let along including Tampa including a 2nd. I'm a huge Blake Coleman fan, but... no.

Without immediate 1sts, this is what TBL will need to offer. Geekie or SOR + a 3rd/2nd depending on negotiations. Coleman is an absolute dawg and has won it all with them before. You best believe Cooper is all over a Coleman acquisition. It lessens the minutes and burden on the top 6 defensive responsibilities.

Any exciting new rumours?

Friedman did say that someone "poured cold water" on Coleman to Tampa this week. Didn't provide details.

The Wild are considered to be the favourite to land Trocheck according to the Athletic though the question is if Guerin is willing to part with more assets after the QH trade.

Agree its a stretch, but if we look at it as Geekie is the target and Coleman is the main asset we have to offer, what would we have to add?

Don't get me wrong, I would love Geekie on this team - just what we need. I just don't think Coleman alone is the piece that lands us that asset.

This is a tough one. I would think, at the very least, Coleman and Calgary's 2026 2nd (still a high pick) would have to be involved at least from our end (TB does not have a first this year, Calgary's 2nd is relatively close to what would have been their first). Then I dunno - you hope that Brisebois pulls the trigger assuming that's just the price around the deadline. Again, this would be a very tough one to navigate IMO.

Word earlier was they would offer up Wallstedt if the deal was right. Do the Rangers have an heir apparent to Igor?


Wild don't have a ton of big prospects but some intriguing guys like Kiviharju, Soini, and Benak. Stramel appears to have rebounded a bit I think. They have their own 1sts after this year.

He's the player to watch tonight, as posted by the Flames. Seems like he won't be held out.

Kent Johnson healthy scratch. Should Flames be in on him?

100%

He had 56pts in 68 games last year, and is now 18pts in 56 games this year, playing wing on the second line for a bunch of it, but only 11 to 12 minutes a night. He was drafted as a centre, and this is the third year that he hasn't played at all at centre.

The knock against him is that he is tall, but with a slight frame. No defensive deficiencies, but not physical.

At the right price, put him in as a 3rd line centre between Klapka and Popisil, and just let him play. Really talented and 23 years old. Columbus is ruining him if he stays.

Wild feel like the perfect fit for trochek.

Kings feel perfect for Kadri

Detroit feels perfect for Weegar

Dallas and Coleman feel destined to unite.
