Trade Talk Megathread
As we get into the dog days of summer, the biggest questions will always be roster management, and how to build for the upcoming year.
Use this thread to discuss trade rumors, propose the package for the coveted 1C, and justify how we can trade Tyler Pitlick for Connor McDavid while staying under the cap, or whatever strikes your fancy.
Confirmed trades will receive their own dedicated posts, as well as signings and whatever draft picks we end up making (Stenberg to the 3rd round? /j).
The daily/monthly thread contains salary and trade protection notes for most players, and the details can be found on PuckPedia.
Wild Hockey can't come soon enough.

We've had a ton of people making posts about the best place to watch the Wild in their area. To condense a few of those, please ask and answer that question here rather than making a new thread each time.
For general watching
- FanDuel has been shut down. All broadcasts for the rest of the series will be National
-To get a local crew calling the game, sync up KFAN 100.3 Radio for Joe O'Donnell and Tom Reid
-TV broadcasts will vary game to game between ESPN and TNT. You have the option of cobbling together streaming services, using YouTubeTV, Orange Sling, Fubo, or whatever options you can find on the High Seas. The mod team will attempt to post which broadcaster it will be on prior to the game.
-There should be Watch Parties hosted at Grand Casino Arena for away games, and the games will always be broadcasted at Tom Reid's. A lot of local bars will be happy to turn it on.
For Specific Bars/Gathering Places:
Please poll each other below. I will try to edit and include answers for locations.
St Paul
-Tom Reid's
Minneapolis
-Tom's Watch Bar, Beckett's
Des Moines, Iowa
-Buzzard Billy's
Seattle, Washington
-The Angry Beaver, Rookies (Columbia City)
New York City
-The Canuck, Lake Street (Greenpoint)
