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

[BobRossColton]

Besides the Rangers, who says no kakko+chytil for G+Newhook+1st?
Then we dump JTC for Soucy and have 7mil+ cap space.

Nah, if you move Byram you expect a cost controlled future 1C back.

Yeah that’d be the preference, but simply saying that’s the piece that’d have to be shopped for youngish and with term.

 

[AvsWraith]

Its like you haven't read this thread at all the past two weeks and are just having a temper tantrum at this point? Did you miss nap time today or something?


Nobody is afraid to move G, or Toews for that matter, to get a 2C.... What 2C do you think is actually available on the market right now that warrants trading our best asset to get? Tell us all that since you seem to be so well informed on the trade rumors.

Just talking about possibilities on a message board just like everyone else, killing time. You seem to be the one with the problem if it's bothering you enough to get so riled up.

You don't like my takes, fine, you're definitely not the only one. But being a total dick about it, like I'm some troll from another board coming here and talking shit is pretty lame. Whatever though, knock yourself out.

Maybe Necas just isn't that good?...

What say ye @Balthazar?

Yep. I’d certainly take him. But if I’m parting with someone like Girard, I’m definitely aiming higher.

So.... You don't have a 2C for us to trade Girard for?

I swear to god this Conner Bleackley kid is gonna blossom soon here. He's not better defensively than ROR but I do think his defensive upside is underrated. Offensively, he has a lot of tools to excel as a 2C in the NHL. Avs pipeline seems thin but he's a real standout to me.

It’s not his job to choose a 2C? The f*** you think this is lol, people speculate on here all day long including yourself. Girard for a 2C doesn’t need to be a 1 for 1. Hope that helped you’re sarcastic condescending self.

Man it's a good thing some of you weren't active posters here 10 years ago.

You go after everyone though.. I don’t get it hahaha you post your own opinions or speculations and then dump on others, doesn’t make much sense.

Internal promotions are good for morale. Imagine a workplace where they hire a new CEO or CFO externally instead of promoting one internally. No one wants to work there.

New thread, same shit. Let the gatekeeping continue. Armchair GMs and Scouts unite!

Did you guys know that Trouba means trumpet in Russian?







ohhh the offseason

 

[Metallo]

Feels a bit pricey. Is it pricey?

 

[JH21]

And I'm just saying that the issue doesn't have to wait until the deadline, if we could just get over the weird attachment to G that everyone seems to have. G was great when we got him and didn't have jack shit in the way of puck moving defensemen. That issue has since been upgraded to the max with Cale, Toews, Bo, and Manson, who's actually pretty good at moving the puck. We even have Behrens, who will be the next in that line in a couple years.

This guy gets it

I'm not opposed to trading Girard, but it has to be in the right trade.

I've discussed the merits and demerits of trades like Girard for Bennett; Girard for Necas; Girard for Scheifele; and several others. None of those appear to be perfect fits however, if those players are even available to begin with. If there was a perfect trade to be made involving Girard for a similarly-aged and cost-controlled 2C it probably already would have been done by now.

That said, though I'm not opposed to moving Girard in the right trade I still think the optimum time to move either him or Toews is in 2023. At that point we'll know more what Toews' and Byram's respective next contracts will look like, which makes it the best time to choose which two LHD's to keep moving forwards. At that point Behrens will also be nearer to being NHL ready after two college seasons.

In the meantime the best course of action may be to aim for a rental 2C at the TDL which requires less assets to acquire than a young cost-controlled top 4 LHD.

We don't get either 3 of those guys for Girard

Find a team that doesn't have an undersized defender who can't defend and then look to them for a C.

Because there isn't one team that wants two defenders like Girard.

That went away?

 

[avalanche_country]

That went away?

I’m was still depressed from 2003. This cup win erased all that and everything else for me though.

 

[henchman21]

That went away?

The up the River kind… not across… never fully goes away
