Rumor: 2022-2022 Trade Rumors and Free Agency Part 14: Sakic goes back to bed

[Azrael89]

We may not want that bidding war right now but if Kadri is out in the playoffs for any reason, we're gonna wish Sakic had won that bidding war.

If Copp is our second Center we’re done anyway, I want Sakic to be aggressive, but not a first plus for a third line center, aggressive.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Can we have river based playoffs avatars?

River? I hardly know her

 

[ANewHope]

All this smoke around Andrew Copp.

Nobody knew we were acquiring Devon Toews, or Andrei Burakovsky, or Brandon Saad, or Josh Manson, or Nico Sturm.

Copp to the Avs ain't happening. Start looking at names nobody is talking about. Those are Joe's targets.

Who are some guys Sakic's liked in the past but nobody's really talking about right now? Maybe someone like Drouin or was that more fan drive than Sakic ever actually being linked to him.

Domi/Copp/Clutterbuck seem to be the names the insiders have us in on the most.

 

[Ararana]

It would be depressingly hilarious if Sakic was done

 

[ANewHope]

Matt Barzal is one guy I would move Byram for, personally.

I don't want to trade Byram and don't think Sakic would anyways but I'd 100% move him for a long term answer at 2C. Someone like Barzal, Pettersson, Josh Norris etc. Those teams wouldn't move those guys for Byram anyways tho.

He’s already prepared for the media? Haha

Seems like he could be done.

 

[Avsboy]

Who remembers when Sakic spoke to the media, then traded Barrie for Kadri. Obviously that can't happen this time, but him scheduling a media appearance means nothing.

 

[EdAVSfan]

Did nobody read it...

Its set for AFTER the deadline.

 

[forsbergavs32]

I mean its scheduled for after the deadline is over, so its a bit early to say he's done

 

[Avsboy]

Apparently Gio->Toronto. E5 from Eklund

 

[Avs425]

It would be depressingly hilarious if Sakic was done

This kind of goes without saying right? I mean, they have one right after the deadline every year.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

He literally meets with the media after every deadline. That's a nothing tweet if I've ever seen one.

 

[dahrougem2]

Apparently Gio->Toronto. E5 from Eklund

Wasn't from Eklund at all. Why bother visiting that site?

 

[hughdreamz]

Sakic is always scheduled to speak to media after the deadline. Nothing new here.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Why is everyone panicking? Like he's going to address the media after the TDL no matter what happens?

 

[Avsboy]

Wasn't from Eklund at all. Why bother visiting that site?

The layout is appealing

 

[Goulet17]

I am kind of hoping Sakic is done, if only for the likely entertainment value. I've been through too many of these TDLs to get too worked up at this point.

I think Rakell makes sense at the right price so the lack of smoke on him moving is good.

 

[myperbixhurts]

I won't be surprised if Sakic is done, and I won't be surprised if he makes another move or two. It's hard to get a read on what else Joe would be thinking of doing.

 

[Foppberg]

I'd love it.

And then the paperwork of a trade involving Miller quietly trickles in after his press conference.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Any interest in Getzlaf and Rakell?

 

[Avaholic29]

If sakic is done then I can’t wait for McFarland for take over lol. Everyone stocking up, teams playing the cap with LTIR. We have a golden opportunity to do the same as every other contender except our conference is weak, if he doesn’t capitalize he needs to go.

 

[hughdreamz]

Multiple picks for Gio. Wonder how many and which rounds
