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

[Balthazar]

Dubois?

Will cost an arm and a leg...if we trade for him we gotta re-up him and make him our 2C for the next several years. Also he's going to cost north of 7M AAV long term.

That's going to be the going rate on really anybody that need re-upped. At somepoint it will have to be paid.

 

[BobRossColton]

Would Kevin Hayes be of any interest? Some retention involved? Or would Philly say no .

At 5.5m or less, he's very valuable. Yeah I'd like him here.

Will he really be that costly if he’s dead set on going to Montreal?

Who’s going to pay an arm and a leg for a guy they know won’t re-sign?

 

[redacted]

PLD as a player on the ice... he'd be perfect age and capability. Pretty much everything else is a no...

 

[BobRossColton]

I think I'm reading it right, his last 4 seasons pay 7.5, 6.5, and 2x 5.25

AAV is what really matters for the cap.

Might also allow them to step up in kadri?

There’s always the very realistic scenario that Binnington gets suspended for the season after being challenged to a fight by a fan member and he obliges.

Greiss is unable to carry the team because the team has lost all emotion from losing Perron, who provided the bravado when other teams performed perceived cheap shots.

This leads to ROR requesting an 8 year, 14AAV contract so St Louis trades him to us.

 

[ABasin]

Yeah, but this place is complete lunacy!

Nothing compared to any number of GDTs.

Which is why I stopped posting in those, oh..... 15 years ago or so.

The bitching about the bitching is almost as bad as the bitching.

Bitch.

 

[Hasbro]

I can deal with waiting until the deadline to access 2C. We've been dying for young guys to get a look instead of the Megnas and Sherwoods.

Seems a bit pricey even at 5-5.5m with health concerns and a 45 point career high at 30. How many years does he have left?

Doug Armstrong - "Ryan, we don't think your production warrants that kind of contract..."

ROR - "Dad, Doug's on the phone..."

 

[Pokecheque]

I'd also like a maximum age requirement as well.

Shit…I’m out then.

Would Kevin Hayes be of any interest? Some retention involved? Or would Philly say no .

Not really. Good player but his body is already falling apart. Even if Philly retained that’s not a good contract.

I used to think Cooper was one of the elite coaches. (Obviously his results speak for themselves) after watching quest for the cup, all he ever says is “big boy hockey” and “win your shifts”. I wonder how much of their system was designed by Uncle Fester? I’m sure there is more to him but man his lawyer self really shined through in that documentary.

It was also nice to hear the kind of things Bednar says behind closed doors.

Which documentary?

 

[avalanche_country]

Which documentary?

Quest for the cup

 

[Frobbo]

I like the Manson signing. It gives them something they otherwise don't have. Physicality on the back end. Is it an overpay? Probably but not regarding the Avs needs. You could save1-2 perhaps but who is that money to be spent on? I didn't see anybody out there that was as valuable to their needs. I was really impressed with his choices of when to jump up into the play during the PO's. Yes, he had a bad outing or two (esp when paired with JJ) but so did DT. His salary is structured so if they have to cut bait the final year or two it won't be as painful. Just my $.02.

 

[Frobbo]

I think the Avs should keep their powder dry (cap $). There might be a lot of value available at the TDL with everybody so tight against the cap. Not having to dump salary in a transaction may give them opportunity to plug holes efficiently. They also will have a better idea of what they need. It could be a goalie, #2C or even a d-man if the injury bug hits. They don't need everything in place now.

 

[CobraAcesS]

I honestly think the Avs are done making moves for the off-season. Rantanen is going to be asked to carry a line and if he’s unable to do that we’re going to have some problems.

Such a good point. I'm hoping he does it at center. If he's ppg and good at both ends like he's capable of, we're in business.

 

[CobraAcesS]

One of the issue with Rants at 2C is we're still short of one top 6er. Also keep in mind that he can't win a faceoff so he has to play with Landy or Compher.

Landy - Mack - Nuke
Lehky - Rants - Compher (not great to learn to play C next to JTC)

or

Nuke - Mack - Newhook (not sure this line would please Mack though)
Landy - Rants - Lehky (I like that line)

All will be tried lol.

Landy Mack Nuke
Lucky Newhook Mikko

Landy Mack Mikko
Lucky Newhook Nuke

Lucky Mack Nuke
Landy Mikko Newhook

*The above is what I think works. It's a step down from Landy for Mack, but it's still two wingers with similar abilities.

Then Landy can basically play center in the D zone for Mikko the way he has done for Mack. Newhook just has to get open and work hard.

Lucky Mack Nuke
Landy Newhook Mikko.

fair, I think we've definitely got a few others who have done that in the last ~4 years.

Lmao, first thing every kid has learned on the internet for the last 30 years.

Oh, and in gaming we call them squeekers.
