I’ve been called small, bold, and brash… but I’ve never been called stinky, and that’s a fact.

@NHLRumourReport You know what makes me angry, they could have fought for this during the latest CBA.

My inner @JeffMarek is coming out when I see news like this and I fully agree with going back to the 1-8.

@jp_gambatese However I’d be a big fan of #NJDevils rolling:
Larkin - Hughes - Bratt
Meier - Hischier - Gritsyuk
Hämeenaho - Glass - Brown

[Stu @LittlestOfMen]

@jp_gambatese I’m thinking either
Dawson Mercer + Simon Nemec
or
Dawson Mercer + Seamus Casey/Ethan Edwards + 2026 1st RD

I think Nemec would be enticing but #LGRW are in a decent spot for RHD:
- Moritz Seider
- Justin Faulk
- Axel Sandin-Pellikka

[Stu @LittlestOfMen]

@Dan_Powers_ @EmptyNettersPod Larkin - Hughes - Bratt
Meier - Hischier - Gritsyuk

The NHL trade rankings are here!

Players most likely to be traded, superstars that could move in shocking blockbusters and much more. Enjoy!

Marcus Johansson was predominantly playing as a middle-six left wing for #MNWild is off the UFA board.

Anders Lee, the Edina, MN native, could slot into that role if #Isles do not re-sign him this summer.

Kaprizov - Eriksson Ek - Zuccarello*
Lee - Hartman - Boldy

*UFA

[Michael Russo @RussoHockey]

Hearing #mnwild pending unrestricted free agent Marcus Johansson, coming off a real solid season, has signed a contract to return to Sweden and play back with Farjestad

[Stu @LittlestOfMen]

@PeteBlackburn The Italian wine and cheese fueled all these trade discussions.

[Gino Hard @GinoHard_]

The Oilers are looking to trade Darnell Nurse as soon as possible, per @SportsnetSpec 👀

GM Stan Bowman will meet with Nurse in the coming days, but that $9.25M cap hit will be challenging to move 😬

[Stu @LittlestOfMen]

@mark_scheig I’m wondering if Larkin is attempting to take the reins of the organization and basically saying “Either I get traded or Steve Yzerman walks.”

Larkin was very vocally frustrated after the deadline two seasons ago and I doubt he wasn’t thrilled last season.

[Stu @LittlestOfMen]

@JLazzy23 Dawson Mercer + Simon Nemec ➡️ #LGRW
Larkin - Hughes - Bratt
Meier - Hischier - Gritsyuk

[Stu @LittlestOfMen]

Strong candidate for #NJDevils especially if #LGRW has interest in Simon Nemec. I’ll have to look at @puckpedia and see how NJD can make the money work.

Simon Nemec + Dawson Mercer could be the baseline to get Dylan Larkin to Newark.

team call

[Stu @LittlestOfMen]

@WarkSheek Plus LAK doesn’t have a significant prospect pool so trading out their first round pick wouldn’t be wise for Ken Holland.

Also I’m against NJD trading Nico Hischier.

[Stu @LittlestOfMen]

@WarkSheek It would cause problems surprisingly for both teams.

NJD would have to either find another 2C or slot Mercer into that role full time. Plus Mehta would have to move out 2RHD.

LAK would trade their highest potential RHD and then have to rely significantly on an aging Doughty.

[Stu @LittlestOfMen]

@stefen_rosner @NHLdotcom @NHLAdamK My prediction is Anders Lee ends up on the Minnesota Wild and plays on their third line
Kaprsiov - Eriksson-Ek - Zuccarello*
Johansson* - Yurov - Boldy
Lee - Hartman - Brink**

*upcoming UFA
**upcoming RFA

This is just a quick prediction I haven’t looked at any of MIN’s rumors.

[Stu @LittlestOfMen]

@timeimmemorial_

[Stu @LittlestOfMen]

@leafsnlifts Simon Nemec would be a good defenseman for the Toronto Maple Leafs 🤝

[Stu @LittlestOfMen]

@NHL_Muse @SleeperNHL @BR_OpenIce Gritsyuk - Hughes - Bratt
Meier - Mercer - Brown
Hämeenaho - Glass - Noesen
Cotter* - Bjugstad - Tysplakov

Hughes - Pesce
Siegenthaler - Hamilton
Dillon - Nemec
Kovacevic
Clarke

NJD would have to get a 2C and then move 2 RHD out to make the roster work.

[Stu @LittlestOfMen]

@NHL_Muse @SleeperNHL @BR_OpenIce I like Brandt Clarke but I don’t think either New Jersey or Los Angeles make a trade with that as the basis.

NJD would then have to rely on Dawson Mercer as 2C and LAK would need either a trade or an AHL call up for RHD.

Anderson - Doughty
Dumoulin - Ceci
Edmundson - ?
