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

[letsgoavs1921]

Gaudreau turning down (or not yet accepting) $9.5M/yr is wild to me. If he can get more then good for him but damn. With everything on the line, I'd take Nichushkin over him in a playoff game and he might get almost twice as much on the open market.

Yep, it's that time of the year when GM's lose their mind and money seems fake. Then in 3 months they wake up saying "what the heck did I do?"

It's like they don't look at the player they are paying compared to others. Johnny G is a good player. Not a great player. Not a franchise player. So why is he being paid like one? More than Makar? More than what 96% of the forwards in the league? Joke

Thank God for Sakic and him being able to keep his head straight and walk away from some of these contracts.

 

[Hasbro]

Gotta think his eye still isn’t right.

At least need to verify first.

 

[The Merchant]

Dumb

It'd be hilarious for the Oilers to miss out on a #1 again

 

[Balthazar]

If Nuke were to someway somehow leave... Palat would be nice.

What? I thought he was the reason why they gave away Mcdonagh?

 

[Foppa2118]

LeBrun:

So we traded with NYR for our new goaltender and now Washington is going to us for goaltending help?

Ok who broke the space time continuum?

 

[Mighty Makar]

If the Oilers miss out on Kuemper and Campbell, they’ll get Gibson.

 

[Foppa2118]

If Nuke were to someway somehow leave... Palat would be nice.

Depending on how much they spend on a 2C they should consider bringing in Palat either way.

Filling out the wings with guys like Nuke, Lehky, and Palat is a perfect way to build this team under Bednar's system.

 

[Balthazar]

If the Oilers miss out on Kuemper and Campbell, they’ll get Gibson.

Doubt that Gibson, an American, waives for Edmonton.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Doubt that Gibson, an American, waives for Edmonton.

That’s true!

 

[Avsboy]

Nuke and Copp, please

 

[henchman21]

Doubt that Gibson, an American, waives for Edmonton.

Getting away from Eakins likely means more than anything else.

 

[CalderKing21]

It’s bizzaro land. We usually go to the Caps for a goalie.

 

[5280]

Remember when grub walked, and saad walked, and Donskoi got taken in the expansion draft...

Basically everyone here thought we were toast I was one of the only people saying I thought we could be even better You can check the history on it.

Here we are a year later Avs are cup champs.

 

[Balthazar]

Getting away from Eakins likely means more than anything else.

Anyways, I'd prefer the Oilers to go the Matt Murray route.

 

[AvalancheSpeedsters]

Ok who broke the space time continuum?

Obviously Biff Binnington

 

[Foppberg]

Nuke and Copp, please

That would be amazing.

Landeskog-MacKinnon-Rantanen
Lehkonen-Copp-Nuke
Newhook-JTC-Meyers
Cogs-xxx-LOC/Kubel

Would still need some work, but very nice.

 

[Iceberg]

If the Oilers miss out on Kuemper and Campbell, they’ll get Gibson.

WCF 2023, Gibson x Georgiev, should be fun around here...

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

If Copp really is only looking for 7×5.5M that would be an easy yes for me.


Great 2C or 3C option at a reasonable price for 3C duties as well.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

My best hunches/predictions for the Avs are as follows:

I'm pretty convinced that at least one of these three guys is going to be an Av on free agent day:

Evan Rodrigues
Mason Marchment
Ilya Mikheyev

And then depending on the Helm/Sturm/NAK situations, at least one of these 3 guys will be an Av as well

Zach Aston-Reese
Tyler Motte
Dominik Simon

On D we will have one of these guys if Manson walks:

Jan Rutta
Colin Miller
Brett Kulak

And one of these 3 as depth guys if JJ and Murray walk:

Colton White
Sebastian Aho
Thomas Hickey


My ideal would be

Landy-MacK-Nuke
Lehky-Rodrigues-Rants
Newhook-Meyers-Simon
Cogs-JTC-LOC
Dermy

Toews-Makar
Byram-Rutta
Girard-EJ
White

JTC can and will be sent away if Cap space becomes an issue.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Palat going to UFA is both intriguing and scary to me.


On the one hand I'd love to get Palat here... On the other hand, Tampa didn't fre up that cap space for nothing and now I fear they become major players for Nichushkin and I bet they get him if we don't. Kuch and Vasi will have big sway.

 

[Foppberg]

Palat going to UFA is both intriguing and scary to me.

Nah. If they don't have the cash for Palat they definitely don't have the cash for Nuke. Also a very expensive 2023 summer for them.

 

[CalderKing21]

GM's that try to win the off-season usually don't last long.

 

[Avsboy]

If Nuke ends up in Tampa somehow he’d have to take a discount. It would also show his true colors: he never liked the Colorado River all along.

 

[Balthazar]

Nah. If they don't have the cash for Palat they definitely don't have the cash for Nuke. Also a very expensive 2023 summer for them.

Tampa don't plan that far ahead.

Come on, man. Let’s stop acting like these other teams are the boogeyman. All last offseason it was after every actual/potential Vegas move and now Tampa.

We’re the MF’in boogeyman and the team to beat!
