He’s usually accurate. Poor guy, this would be embarrassing as hell.

YES

Weekes got some bad info. I think MIN is a last resort for MAF after teams like COL or TOR and even EDM. He wants to win, wild are a mess right now

happens to the best of them.

YES

Avs don't have the picks to make that move... they can only do the 4.2-6.3 offer sheet that has zero chance of working.

Next Weekes video will be on Dreger's front lawn. Can't wait.

 

[madman]

Weekes wrongly announced the Blackhawks coach on Twitter too (said it would be Huska). I love Weekes but he needs to refine his process a bit...

I simply can't agree that paying market for Kuemper is a good option....

The ufa and trade market are garbage. I’d rather roll with what we know and avoid trading away any more assets for what would likely be a lateral move at best.

Unless someone offers him the Bobrovsky/Price contract I see no scenario where Dallas isn't matching anyway. Waste of time.

Oh Weekes.... that's a bit embarrassing

Rule number 1 on draft day, ufa Day 1 or trade deadline day, never believe anything until it's been confirmed by multiple credible sources.

Especially with the wording in Dreger's and Seravalli's tweets

Poor guy.

 

[Grackle Party]

Is 6x6 for Kuemper really the best option?

If 6x6 or similar is the only option might as well go out and get Gibson imo

So you'd rather risk losing depth up front and on defense? Kuemper at 6m for term makes things rather difficult going forward to keep the group together. You're staring right at ~55m for MacK, Rants, Landy, Makar, Toews/G, Byram and Kuemper... add in Nuke and you're basically looking at low to mid 20s to fill out the entire rest of the roster including a 2C.

Yup... if you're paying market, get a guy who can be elite.

Maybe they can send JTC to Anaheim to reacquire the 2023 2nd...

Here's what I know...

We won't have the luxury of Kadri as a 2C.

We won't have a 25 goal guy in Burakovsky as a complimentary piece.

We won't have a Manson who brings something that nobody else other than a healthy EJ brings.

I *know* our forwards and defense will not be as deep next season, so we need to improve in the area that we sucked the most in; goaltending. Kuemper was 23rd of 24 goalies who faced a shot in the playoffs in most statistical categories. He's a f***ing sieve.

Pony up, bring in a good goaltender that offsets the losses of our depth, and give this team the best chance at winning more Cups.

Kuemper, on a bigger contract and behind a weaker team, is not going to get job done.

The last time Gibson had a better season than Kuemper was 17-18. We'd be giving up assets for a worse goalie on effectively the same contract.

I hear the Avs have traded for Coleman....

JTC isn't worth a 2nd, but Anaheim wouldn't want him anyway.

Gibson is significantly better than Kuemper... don't fall into the stats trap....

 

[Balthazar]

No surprise but no Avs

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Chychrun is a good #2-3 guy. I'd say you trade Chychrun + 32 + 34 for #2 and feel good about it if you're Arizona.

I think Chychrun is fine, hell, I've wanted him on the Avs. However, some of these rumours and deals you hear about him, you'd think he was a lot more proven or dominant than he actually has been. Guy has scored over 30 points once, isn't a terrifying defensive presence like a Chara or Weber, and it's like we were talking about with Anderson yesterday - more of a hope he puts it together type than anything.
