Rumor: 2021-22 Trade Rumors and FA Part V: To Giroux or not to Giroux

[Pokecheque]

I guess. Depends on the prospect going back, plus would much rather Jost go than JTC. I think he gets wrongly crucified around here.

Love him or hate him, he is not the player the Avs were hoping he'd develop into when they gave him that rather lucrative deal. Either way, he's gotta go.

I like Hagel quite a bit. Wouldn't mind if the Avs could somehow swing a deal that sent JTC the other way. Compher always plays his hometown team well, maybe they think there's something to be had in him...

Is Giroux an Av yet?

If Hagel is on the market count me in. Hes one of the stand outs when you watch the Hawks. Strome aswell lately.

I’d be all Hagel. Could be our Coleman addition. Pass on Strome. He’s not what we need at all really.

 

[Foppberg]

Hagel + Giroux + Fleury lets goooo

I don't want Strome im just saying he's been a stand out lately. I want Hagel.

I hate these rumours... we will be sooooo disapointed when Giroux gets traded elsewhere...

 

[AvsWraith]

Yeah, seems like every year, all the twitter insiders say that Sakic is all in, and we are involved with every big name.

And then, when you least suspect it.... BOOM! Soderberg and Nemeth.

 

[Balthazar]

Radulov, Panarin, Hall..

Pietrangelo...

 

[Avs_19]

Who the **** is Brandon Hagel and why are people giving up a 1st rd pick++ for him?

Giroux, please.

 

[Metallo]

I hope Sakic uses his Jedi mind tricks again because the price we pay in some of the proposals here...

 

[hockeyfish]

Pietrangelo...

Coleman

Giroux, please.

This years Blake Coleman.


He would be a fantastic add. Giroux is the better player no doubt, but Hagel would be a great add as well. Plus, he's signed for 2 more years at a dirt cheap $1.5M contract.


Hagel - Newhook - LOC essentially solves our 3rd line for next year already and for a combined $3.5M.

Pietrangelo...

Eichel..............

 

[hockeyfish]

If Hagel is actually available, you have to go all in on that.

This is the issue when you draft like shit. You don’t have players to come in for cheap and then when you make trades the pipeline continues to shrink or you don’t have the pieces to get deals across the line.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Hagel + Giroux + Fleury 2nd/3rd pairing RD lets goooo

FIFY

 

[AllAboutAvs]

When players are saying that losing all those draws is "a big disadvantage for them", I'll take their word.

Why would you do that when so many people on HFAvs say they are not important? Don't be silly...

 

[Richard88]

That Hagel contract could be the difference between being able to re-sign Burakovsky or letting him walk; or the difference between having to target 3rd liners in UFA instead of top 6 forwards.

He's also an RFA in 2024 meaning that you could easily stand to regain most of the assets paid now to acquire him. This seems much more like a shrewd cap-maneuvering Sakic move than an expensive deadline rental.

 

[AvsFan29]

Radulov, Panarin, Hall. Soon to add Giroux. Im going to be upset when he goes to Minnesota and then im going to be less upset when I see the price. I think that's how its going go down.

I could see Minnesota overpaying.

They are a much better team with Giroux, and more importantly, it means Giroux isn't playing for us.

They know they have no shot at the cup unless they go through Colorado or Vegas, or both.

Minnesota overpaying is a no-brainer

Timmins + 1st would have been really handy here. That package plus one of Jost/Compher might have been enough to meet Chicago's asking price, and then we'd still have the assets we have now for Giroux. Alas...

They likely can't afford Giroux next year, so I think it's still a "brainer" on their part.

Minnesota are going to need their young talent in order to stay relevant in the next 3 years. Going all-in this year will only exacerbate their bad cap situation going forwards.
