Rumor: 2020-21 Trade Rumours and FA Part VIII: Intra-Playoff Edition?

[Islay1989]

Would you guys do Girard + Compher + 1st for Tkachuk? Realize we actually save money on that deal.

And get worse, plus get a guy who is a sideshow who rubs his teammates the wrong way.

 

[Peter Peckerwood]

Rants for Eichel

As much as I think Eichel is good, I don't want him versus other centers that are cheaper and almost as good.

Love Moose.

I think we've discussed this before. Just bored...

Rather give that package for Gibson or Jones with some certainty of extension.

I’m curious, how many of you guys are aware that Nathan Mackinnon rubs his teammates the wrong way? You know what though, his teammates care more about winning than being constantly degraded by Mackinnon.

Nathan MacKinnon is Nathan MacKinnon, guy who puts up and backs his talk and doesn't have others fight his battles, Tkachuck is a guy who stirs shit and then lets others deal with the consequences.

I doubt it's fun to be ragged by Nate, but he and the dbag out of Calgary who wilts away when the going gets tough aren't comparable.

I didn’t compare them as hockey players. I’m simply commenting on you saying Tkachuk rubs guys the wrong way which Mackinnon does times 1000.

As for your argument criticizing Tkachuk as a hockey player that just isn’t wortho my time. He’s a stud. Arguments against that don’t hold much merit.

Criticizing someone for bad playoffs and trading him plus for a guy that’s bad in the playoffs. Wonder what’s the difference…

 

[Peter Peckerwood]

There's no way it is worth having Tkachuk at his cost, much less giving up assets for him.
If you're spending that much on a player... address needs, spend it on someone else. Or multiples.

What arguments don't hold much merit? Dude has 5 points in 15 playoff games and was invisible in most of them. He constantly wilts away when the pressure amps up.

And no, Nate does not rub teammates the same way Matt does.

I would not. Rather use Girard to find a better 2C than to find a 2LW.

Avs need to solve center prior to worrying about wings. I'd kill for the Avs to have JGP or Trocheck right now... and if that was the case, the Avs would still be playing.

 

[Chiarelli]

The ask for Eichel is apparently a "top 6 center under 25, a top 4 defenseman, a 1st rounder, and three prospects"

Newhook, Graves, 1st, Ranta, Kaut, Kovalenko

Do those two teach dmen how to exit the zone safely, or how to clear a puck into a non danger area.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Yup. If Girard is moved it has to be for a young C that solves the 2C issue for the foreseeable future.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Value wise I think it’s pretty fair. Maybe a touch in Calgary’s favour.

I might try to expanding this offer to include Lindholm to get a long term 2C.

To Calgary: Girard, Compher, 1st, Donskoi, Barron, Newhook

To Colorado: Tkachuk, Lindholm

 

[Pokecheque]

There is no way, no how the Flames are remotely interested in Sam Girard when they’re still waffling on Johnny Hockey.

They are actively involved in breaking up cycles and transitioning the puck.

Have people forgot that forwards (and specifically centers) can play below the dots defensively? Simply, go watch the Tampa/NYI series for how instrumental centers are to defensive coverage and transition.

It's amazing that people on a hockey discussion board some how fail to understand the concept that a Center plays a huge role in the defensive zone and are vital parts in transitioning the puck out of the defensive zone.


You'd think people choosing to post on a hockey discussion board would have that kind of knowledge at least, but here we are.

Well... maybe not the Islanders game 5

You just pay attention to the Tampa side then!

Of course you want me to pay attention to the Tampa side

You would say that!

I played my whole life as a defenseman but nice try big guy. When the puck is on a defensemans stick and he passes it to the opposing team without looking for any other options, the Center you speak of won’t change that lmao. One Center wasn’t changing the series, that’s my point. Nice subtle jabs at my intelligence though lmao.

 

[Avs_19]

Another day of Girard trade proposals that make the team worse? Is this the plan for the entire offseason?

One Center wasn’t changing the series. Nemeth and Graves blunders were not during a cycle, nemeth was all alone and Graves was pinching.
