Description

Can you PLEASE not freak out - these are just ideas.
They are 100% certain to not please you. That's what this site is allllll about.

You can counter the proposals.
Or let me know your team does not need that player: and that'll be fine.

But no need for insults or condescending remarks; there's less and less civility on here.

Cheers everybody.
And PEACE. This is just sports.

Trades

MTL

2024 1st round pick (EDM)

Additional Details:

The "insiders" speak of a value hovering around a 1st round pick, which for the teams mentioned, would be between 28 and 32.

CALM DOWN PLEASE. I'm just seeing what Seravalli and Pierre Lebrun are talking about.

It's not VALUE alone; it's MARKET.

EDM

Monahan, Sean

Additional Details:

The "insiders" mention Edmonton, NYRangers, Boston or Colorado as likely destinations. Can be any of those teams.

MTL

2026 5th round pick (TBL)

TBL

Pearson, Tanner ($1,625,000 retained)

MTL

2026 4th round pick (LAK)

Additional Details:

Value seems to always mention a 3rd round pick, so I'll put a 4th round pick to calm down the visceral hatred of the Habs haters.

LAK

Allen, Jake

Additional Details:

I picked L.A. only because of the rumors and rumblings. Couldn't care less who picks him uup really.

MTL

2026 2nd round pick (WPG)
2026 3rd round pick (WPG)

Additional Details:

Value is all over the place for him - so, again, relax, breathe in, breathe out. You can share your opinion without insults.

WPG

Barron, Justin

Additional Details:

Any team.
Picked Winnipeg ONLY because of brother.

Despite the recent rumors, I do not believe that Jake Allen is a goaltender that the Kings are actively considering. His contract is too expensive and he's not enough of an upgrade over their current options.

If the Kings are going to pursue a goaltender that makes more than ~$1M, he needs to be a bonafide #1 goaltender. I don't think Allen fits the bill.
