Rumor: 2022-2023 Trade Rumors and Free Agency: Let’s Run it Back!

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Is Lucas Edmonds draft eligible still or would he be considered an OA UDFA? If he's available for free, Avs should take a chance on him.

This is his last year of eligibility.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Isn't Weegar one of those rare Dmen that plays way worse on his right side?


Sens need a Top 4 RD pretty badly though, at least they are recognizing that right now.

 

[dahrougem2]

Bad move on their part. Weegar has been a disaster the last two playoffs when more was asked of him.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Damn, he'll get scooped up before our 6th round pick. Would've been a nice gamble signing.

I think he'll be around late. Real worry his game doesn't translate.

 

[Bender]

He'll do just fine there. But say he 'struggles' and only puts up 30g... teams will gladly offer a 1st and 2nd for him. It might be a later first in the 20 ish range, but still a 1st. Goal scorers don't grow on trees and he's an elite one. Shown with two 40 goal seasons and a 30g season.

Just even look at the last deadline. Pending UFA Copp got a 1st 2nd and prospect. Toffoli got a 1st picks and prospects. With a full year, they can recoup a 1st and 2nd, even if later in the rounds. Even at the deadline in 24, they can get a 1st + for him.

Oh I agree with you there but in most drafts the difference between the 7th overall pick and a pick in the 20ish range is significant.

It's not a disastrous trade for Ottawa by any means but Dorion should have gotten the conversation with the agent done so that there is no doubt.

Maybe my expectations are too high for managers but for me, if you're trading a 7th overall pick ++ to acquire a star player then you have to make sure that you 'dot all your i's' and 'cross all your t's' and leave nothing to chance and make sure you have some kind of assurance that he's gonna be there long-term.

If Joe gets kane that would be insane lol.

Girard can go play with Jones, send whatever else needs to be sent in terms of futures and it offsets the cap hit so can easily sign a 2C still.

Nichushkin 5.5m
Lehkonen 4.5m
Manson 4.5m
Georgiev 3m
Copp 5m
JJ 800k

Nichushkin - Mack - Rantanen
Landeskog - Copp - Kane
Newhook - Compher - Lehkonen
Cogliano - Meyers - O’Connor


Toews - Makar
Byram - Manson
JJ - EJ

If they want Newhook too then make it happen and run

Lehkonen - Meyers - Compher
Cogliano - Sedlak - O’Connor

I would say in normal years 7-20 is a large jump But 7 this year for 20 in 23... that is a push for me. This class isn't great and 23 looks amazing.

They got a year to get it figured out. In a small market with a great prospect/young player base, this is a solid risk to take. If it blows up, they get a ~20ish pick next year.

Just take both Kane and Toews for 50% retained for Newhook and Compher and call it a day

Toews is cooked. Wouldn't even be worth it at 5.25

 

[MacKaRant]

Kane solves the 2C hole by simply existing. He doesn't need a good Center to still be ridiculously effective.

Yeah, but he brings a lot of baggage with the gambling thing and those other allegations

 

[EdAVSfan]

If we don't trade for a 2C tonight the next week will be stressful.


They'll want tons of picks for that and we don't have them.

Why would we need to trade for the 2C tonight before it becomes stressful. We have no draft capital in this draft. Any deal that we could make for a 2C would still be possible after tonight.

 

[Balthazar]

G to Ottawa for what?

 

[MacKaRant]

C'mon Josh let's run it back

This checks out. Either Anaheim or LA would be an acceptable destination for the Mansons.

I unfollowed him on Twitter the day before Game 6, I believe this played a small part in Colorado winning the Cup.

 

[tucker3434]

July is less fun when you have no cap space. But I guess an exciting June is much better.

 

[Balthazar]

 

[Grigowski]

Imagine Kaner on this team.....Doubt we will get to see it, but man, that would be something and a new "nightmare" for 31 other teams early in July....

 

[Avsboy]

Yes, but Ottawa and Playoffs are not a thing

 

[Avaholic29]

We have enough cap space to bring in a solid player so still plenty to be excited about. Joe probably isn’t done trading either.

[Colorado Avalanche]

Yikes.. That Letang contract. Imagine what he was offered from someone else if PEnguins paid that.

Free agency makes GMs go crazy. TOTALLY NUTS.


Kadri 11 million a season, Nuke 9 mil and Kuemper 8million and Bura 8 million.

it wouldn't shock me now.
