Pierre Mcguire said on air recently that "Earth Shattering" trades will be happening this season.
And yes I know, it's Pierre, the same man who likely thinks the lentil soup at panera is also "Earth Shattering".
However, he is an actual insider, and I think he could be onto something (maybe)... especially after a weak draft and UFA class, the pendulum may swing the other way once the 2025/26 season settles in. With teams getting aggressive and spicy post USA thanks giving.
>Mcdavids contract is up at seasons end. And Edmonton has broken this man. Not a single legit goalie in Edms net for his entire career there, and heartbraking loses to Florida. The longer he goes without an extension the bigger the rumblings are gonna get. And It would be so fitting to see him traded away just like Grets... Tronna is in WE NEEDED A MCD YESTERDAY mode right now. And you know theyd love to pull in the hometown phenom to save face after losing Marner.
>the rumors about Pitt wanting to possibly move on from Crosby and Malkin... it wouldve broken my lil grinch heart to see Zberg or Datysuk go elsewhere. But look at us now... if Pitt is smart they probably dont want a 300 year rebuild like us.
>Kyle Connor. Winnipeg will try to go for cups again this year, but with his contract ending and their inability to attract or retain talent, I could see them panic flipping him for something else.
>Panarin. Getting old now. Contract up. And Drury has shidtted up that team already. Might be a good time for them to reset and see what they can get for him.
Im sure theres others, these just swemed like the low hanging fruit to me.
