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

That guy doesn’t want to live in Columbus

Does anybody?

Jarmo is building a hell of a core there… if he gets Chyc, that’s a great base to build around.

There is nothing impressive about that core, middle of the pack at best

I mean the Shotgun Willies isn’t too far from Ball arena


I wouldn’t go that far… Subban sucks but he’s not worse than Macdermid.

Skating wise the guy is legitimately just as bad as MacDermid. He's horrible now.

Drew Carey

 

[Balthazar]

Time to sign Nuke and then on the draft floor you trade the rights of the UFA's you won't re-up. We need as many assets as possible, even late picks.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Zub and Mayfield would be the two most likely. MDZ will eventually end up an Av too

Don't forget Kulikov, he's been an eventual Av for years and years now he just doesn't know it yet.

If they got Chycrun, it'd Werenski, Chyc, Elvis, Laine, Sillinger with Johnson on the way. And then Chinakov, Ceulemans, Marchenko who all look pretty promising as well. They have a pretty good base as it is, if Johnson hits the team will have a pretty dang nice boost here coming up as 1C is the biggest missing piece there. Don't think they'll be a dynasty level or anything but that'd be a very good core.

 

[Avs_19]

Chychrun makes a lot more sense for CBJ than those McDonagh rumours.

 

[Freaky Styley]

So who is the next Rodrigues, oh wise one?

Miles Wood?

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Seeing a lot of posts with Meyers as a 4th liner.

Personally, I think he’s going to be a 3rd liner. Hype seems to be down on him significantly, but this was a highly coveted player and someone that has been touted as one of the top college FA’s in recent years.

 

[Balthazar]

Hmm

 

[Avsboy]

Picks and prospects for Girard? The team is in win now mode.

The idea is to make cap room for others

 

[AvalancheRy]

Girard is criminally underrated by lots of non-Avs fans. I'm pretty sure his zone exit/entry stats are really, really good.

He's an objectively good player who should return something quality in kind, or we keep him IMO.

They might as well just trade St Louis Game 6 warrior JT Compher. Girard has to bring back a good forward. Any trade involving picks/prospects would make us all upset.

No one underrates and disrespects Girard more than Avs fans though. They should keep him unless the offer is just too good to say no.

I think hes going to be a third liner. Limited viewing but I love his game.

What happens if Bo goes down again? You are looking at a second pairing of Ej and ho lol. Shit gets thin fast. Keep G unless theres an offer you simply cannot refuse.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Don’t like the idea of trading Girard to dump cap, unless the assets gained are apart of a larger plan.

EJ is clearly the guy you move to dump cap, even if you have to retain 50% to push a deal across.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Kroenke needs to offer EJ a front office job which pays him 10M in his first year and convince him to retire.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

They can do both though...

 

[Avsboy]

If they lose the 2nd line and can’t find suitable replacements in FA, they’ll need to trade G for a center with term. I’d rather not do that. But I can’t think of any scenario where Girard has to be a cap dump. His value is good.

 

[ANewHope]

My concern with Girard is his value without being on the PP/less TOI and how he reacts to all that in terms of his confidence. It's no secret GM's love d-men with size/physicality .. and if Girard's point totals take a hit and he's making 5 mill a year not sure that's a luxury you can afford in our situation. I think it's possible he has alot more value than he will next offseason .. especially if Byram continues to break out and GM's know the cap crunch is coming.

It just makes so much sense to cash in on his value right now. We just won the cup without him. I get with Byram's injury issues Girard would be great insurance .. not sure you want a 5 mill dollar 3rd pairing d-men as insurance when your trying to go back to back.

 

[Foppberg]

Keep Girard. I trust Joe to do that though, he's no dummy.

 

[CalderKing21]

First you people are trying to retire EJ, now you want to trade away Girard...
