Ryan, biggest name that you think will get traded this o- off season?
And question two, will, will we be talking about a trade or a free agent pickup in terms of the biggest move this summer?
I'll answer the second part first and say trade, because it's not a great free agent market.
I'll go with Morgan Rielly, in Toronto.
I, I think, you know, the, the winds are starting to pick up in that direction and, you know, in the right, in the right setting I think he could excel.
but I don't think it's in Toronto anymore.
Yeah.
Rielly for Darnell Nurse.
Make it happen.
Uh- That'd be terrible Drew Shore, how do, what do you think?
who's gonna be the biggest name move this season, or off season?
And we've got some good candidates out there.
You know, Nurse, Rielly, Dylan Larkin among others.
Well, the Larkin one is hard to really quantify because we still don't know what's gonna happen on that.
But I think that for me, Vincent Trocheck is gonna be the guy that- moves finally from the Rangers.
I was kind of sad.
He's a friend and I wanted him to go to a contender to have a real chance at winning a cup.
It sounds like, I think there was even news today that he's now switched agents.
and I think- Mm-hmm that'll just probably add even a little more pressure to getting him out of there.
But I, I think that he's gonna go somewhere and kind of play on a really good team, maybe a little bit lower in the lineup, but kind of have a role more similar to what he did at Team USA for the Olympics.
Like to me, I really, I didn't know the Avs were gonna get Kadri, but like I wanted, like I was a proponent to like him coming in here being the third line center.
And I think that obviously Kadri's a great player too, but if like he's one of your lower level centers and you got two guys playing ahead of him, like you got a really good hockey team.
Do you think, Trocheck could end up in Montreal?
W- would you think that would be a good fit, guys?
They already have Jake Evans and Danault.
Like, so he's not a legit number two center in your mind, like to play behind Suzuki?
I don't think it's, I don't think that's the natural fit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I agree.
And I mean, I think that the natural fit for him is that third C spot, but like a guy who also plays on the power play and penalty kill.
some people have mentioned like a return for, to Florida, which I'm sure he would be thrilled with.
but who knows?
Yeah.
All right, guys.
We're gonna have to skip the last question.
We'll save it for next time.
But listen up, this was a great episode of The Big Show, brought to you by The Hockey News.
For Drew Shore and Ryan Kennedy, I'm Michael Traikos.
See you next time.
