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

Patrick not Evander.

You say that like it's better...

 

[Balthazar]

I don't agree that Kane on the 2nd line is the same as having a center BTW. If we don't get a center then we start the season with Compher at 2C and that's not acceptable regardless of Patrick Kane.

If this came to pass, probably much more likely that Rantanen would be started at center.

Assuming that Georgiev signs for 3.25M and JJ signs for 1M (I don't see him signing for less than that after Cogs got 1.25M).

Do we have enough money left for Trocheck, Lehky, Nuke and Manson?

 

[hughdreamz]

OMG Sakic trade Kuemper’s rights for a 1st LOL

 

[Richard88]

 

[Avs_19]

That’s crazy good value for a UFA.

[Foppberg]

Woulda liked Husso for a 3rd more than George...

Eh Husso older and weaker track record. Plus this was just for his UFA rights.



THATS EXPENSIVE

It would be tight as heck. I presume those four will combine roughly for $20M-ish (Nichushkin,Trochek ~$6ea; Lehkonen,Manson ~$4ea). By my count the Avs would have $19.27M if signing the contracts you mentioned:

Landeskog-MacKinnon-Rantanen
x-x-x
Newhook-Meyers-Compher
Cogliano-Sedlak-O'Connor
MacDermid

Toews-Makar
Byram-Johnson
Girard-x
Johnson

Georgiev
Francouz

Let’s see the contract first and who it would’ve cost the Avs to sign him to that.

Husso was my top option too but the deal could be iffy.

 

[Ararana]

Dracy is going to make bank playing Edmonton and Toronto against eachother.

And a 3rd for Husso's negotiation rights? Holy shit, Sakic get on that.

 

[hughdreamz]

If Husso is getting $4.75M Kuemper is definitely getting $6M

 

[henchman21]

Doubt St Louis would have done that... this gets Husso to the east.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Husso’s rights for a 3rd?? Holyyyy

 

[pockets]

Damn, hopefully Joe can get something for Darcy…

 

[Muffin]

We better at least get a 3rd for Kuemper if Husso got a 3rd.

Georgiev $3.25m X 3
JJ $1m X 1
NAK $1.225m x1
Nichuskin $5.5m x6-7

That would leave just over $8.5m. Probably enough for Trocheck $6-6.5m) and a ~$1.5-2m Dman, but not Manson.

Shaving off $250k on both Georgiev and JJ, and replacing NAK with someone at $1m would save about $750k to bring the number up to $9.25m, which still wouldn't be enough to bring back Manson (~$4m) if you sign Trocheck at $6-6.5m.

As many including myself said with Cogliano getting a $250k raise, those little amounts quickly add up. If you give Georgiev and JJ $3.25m and $1m instead of $3m and $750k respectively, along with QO'ing NAK, you've basically used up $1m that may have been saved and applied up the lineup.

 

[hockeyfish]

Apparently Husso's rights were traded to Detroit this morning for a 3rd and he is about to sign there.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Shit. I’ll take a 2nd from 2026.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Eh Husso older and weaker track record. Plus this was just for his UFA rights.



THATS EXPENSIVE

Agreed, this is really Husso's first real season as a potential starter. He had a good year, but there's also a chance that he completely shits the bed and then you're stuck with a 5 million dollar anchor.

 

[Ararana]

Someone is about to do something real stupid for Kuemper

 

[Richard88]

Lol, glad we didn't go with Husso at that number.

Detroit somewhat surprisingly grabbing one of the best UFA goalies left will put more pressure on Toronto, Edmonton, NJ, and Washington now. Kuemper and Campbell are gonna get PAID judging by that Husso deal.

 

[The Pwnerer]

The goalie market is a gold mine for sellers. It pays so well if you're able to develop your own goalies. Campbell and DK are about to be paid. Good time to be an average starting goalie in this league.
