2025 Offseason Thread: Spring Cleaning

I don't love that we still have open ended ties with those two. It seemed like those should be deals that could have been accomplished before free agency. Having question marks around those two makes it harder to know how much money is left kicking around.

Still 5 days before free agency opens, which is a lot of time for this stuff. I'd be pretty shocked if Tavares isn't signed before then. And if he isn't then honestly he's probably not coming back, which closes one question mark but obviously opens another.

I hope he does a LeBron style ‘decision’ show

But, then, what will McDavid do?

He’ll jump off the cn tower and his parachute will reveal the team he signed with

Im actually surprised that you're surprised at this. It was obvious a deal couldn't be done with Marner in season. Tre is acting like he's keeping his options open but it doesn't seem likely Marner comes back, but he's not going to say that. On Tavares there's talk that he's wants closer to fair market value vs. taking a hometown discount, which explains the delay imo.

My two comment was about Knies and Tavares not Marner

My wishlist from 2023-24 offseason is in shambles:
-Marner traded before NMC for 2C + prospect on the cusp
-Knies signed to 7x7 once eligible
-Tavares on deferred salary deal

Quick, to my DeLoeran!

This was a good plan...
