Rumor: 2022-2023 Trade Rumors and Free Agency (Mod Warning in OP)

[Balthazar]

If Makar walks at the end of this contract that's very bad. Cup or no cup, getting only 8 seasons out of a generational draft pick is simply not enough.

By the way, it's statistically harder to draft a player like Cale Makar than to win a Stanley Cup. There's a cup winner every year but there's not a Cale Makar in every draft.

This is peak offseason!

Makar is going up in the Avs rafters. He's a lifer.

I sure hope so

Makar isn’t going anywhere.

 

[UncleRisto]

I heard Makar is considering changing his number from 8 to 18.

Nah. He will be a Flame in 5 years.

On another note, that Kent Johnson kid is gonna be one hell of a hockey player. What a game he’s had against Czechia.

 

[Vaslof]

Makar is clearly past his peak, it's time to sell high before we need to cap dump him.

Wait, I shouldn't joke about that, someone actually argued it non-sarcastically.

 

[MacKaRtin]

I see what you did there

I'm looking forward to him and Sillinger in Columbus.

Not just peak, but prime

 

[UncleRisto]

Not just peak, but prime

Is the off-season 27? Because it's definitely past its prime.

 

[mackinnon29]

100% Columbus has some great building blocks coming down pipe very soon. Will be a interesting team to watch in a couple of years

Now we are talking about trading Makar in 5 years??

This place is insane

Seriously.

How is everyone so sure he’ll be walking in 5 years?

I remember a few times when Joe was due for a contract he was going home to BC though so some things never change…

 

[BaconNater]

Makar is loyal as they come.. the man could have bailed on UMass when they changed coaches for a bigger program but didn't... Loyalty!

Gaudreau-Johnson-Laine... drool.

Past peak there… not yet through the prime. We’re close though

 

[Balthazar]

Peak off season is when that f***ing Avalanche elimination game thread gets posted every year. That's as low as this board can go.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

That's exactly why he's going to Calgary. His real loyalty is with his hometown!

Guys, this discussion is 5 years away.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Still trying to accept seeing all these pics of Flames jerseys photo shopped on Kadri on Twitter:

Guys, this discussion is 5 years away.

The future is now.

Ahhhh so that’s why we let JJ walk. We have another Johnson on our farm team.
