Rumor: 2022-2023 Free Agency and Trade Rumors: STILL searching for a 2C

[JWK]

Leafs really loved our '09 class

 

[dahrougem2]

That is smart by Guerin. He probably realizes that team isn't going anywhere with Fleury in goal. Might as well get a free pick to retain on an expiring deal.

We tend to go round and round on things, so I’ll keep this short. We don’t really agree (and that’s fine). This team looks real bad 5v5 that needs to get fixed. They aren’t just below average, they verge on bad. It’ll take some really good pieces. Add to that, health is something that is unlikely this year.

IMO Avs need a good 2C (I love Hayes and he may not be enough), middle 6 winger who can score goals at a good clip (a legit 20-25g guy), complete health, and goaltending to hold up. That’s a lot of things to go right and even then, it may not be enough.

I’ll add that even if you can’t get it perfect, they need to still push. There isn’t enough cap space in the future and time is not on the Avs side. Imperfect and better is better than just giving in.

Think this sums it up perfectly, although I’m hoping/praying we get healthy for the playoffs. But it’s still not enough. We need 2 more pieces (2c + winger). Would love Hayes but I don’t expect the flyers to eat $2m for 4 years even if we offer a great package.

But with the cap situation we definitely have to go for it here and now. Trade the next 2 firsts + behrens and anything else you got. Also we’ll need salary to go out so it feels like you probably have to trade Girard to create the space.

This team is 28th in the league for 5v5 goals. I don't think you understand how awful that is. They're around some teams that are actively tanking with rosters significantly worse then the Avs even with all the injuries. Landy coming back will not fix that, despite what some of the starry-eyed fans like to think.

This team is about to win the West without being healthy

 

[Avs_19]

Matthews, Tavares, and O’Reilly. Damn.

Swiss cheese is goal but not bad.

Even with ROR’s regression, that is damn good as a rotation

ROR's regression isn't bad enough that he won't be an elite 3c if that's what they do with him. I like this deal a lot for the leafs. If they can't get it done with this group it ain't happening with that core.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Welp, sign me up for Timo Meier now.

 

[Mighty Makar]

We’re getting Monahan, aren’t we?

 

[Muffin]

Welp, sign me up for Timo Meier now.

Running out of landing spot for Kane.

True, both teams he wanted got upgrades.

 

[The Merchant]

 

[henchman21]

He’s heading to Dallas

 

[Azrael89]

Welp, sign me up for Timo Meier now.

Lol. I don't see that happening.

 

[henchman21]

We’re getting Monahan, aren’t we?

He’s hurt… nobody will make that move unless they know he’s healthy

 

[Azrael89]

We’re getting Monahan, aren’t we?

And he'll never play a game.

 

[Cypher]

Wow Minny ate that contract

I don't get the Avs keep looking part .. like what, Avs never were gonna bring him back

 

[The Merchant]

I don't get the Avs keep looking part .. like what, Avs never were gonna bring him back

I agree, but there was a bit of smoke there

 

[Azrael89]

Lol at "Avs keep looking" the options if they're even healthy are Toews or Monahan.

 

[Ararana]

Welp. Toews is sick and ROR is off the board. At this point it’s going to take a miracle for MacFarland to get even a questionable 2C.

This season has been officially punted. I hope CMac has a better off-season this year than last year.

Also, Jesus did Dubus ever overpay. The kid is desperate to keep his job..

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Holy shit what an insane price for ROR. If you consider Acciari going for the 2nd... It was basically a 1st + 3rd + 4th for ROR.



Thank god we didn't pay that price for him. He's so bad.

Hayes or Henrique.

 

[the_fan]

I wouldn’t give up a 1st for ROR
