2025-26 General Trades & Signings

[CarltonTheBear]

Coyle is currently 34 years old, signed 6x6

Am I the only one who doesn't think this contract is that crazy? He's a massive right-handed centerman who eats defensive zone face-offs, frequently matches up against other teams best players, and has hit 60 (or 58) points in 2 of the past 3 seasons. He's getting old sure but this deal should at least be pretty fine for a few years in a world where the ceiling is over $100mil now and will likely push past $130mil sometime in the second half of the deal.

Both him and Schmaltz could have done much better on July 1st.

No, but you gotta think the last two years of the deal are a write off.

Well heck a $6mil x 4 year deal before going on LTIR is basically a bargain then.

I think it's fine. probably could've swung an 8M x 3 on the market, but would be eating league min after, so makes sense for all parties.

Didn't think anyone would love Columbus so much though

Free agency is going to be all 3rd liners and depth defencemen, huh?

Seems to be when the cap rise is large ...
