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

[The Kingslayer]

If Lou trades Barzal, he’s for sure canned.

Didnt Chia get canned the same night he signed Koskinen to that extension for no damn reason lol

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

I think this year is make or break for the Isles.


Mind you I was one of the very few here who didn't think they were a playoff team last year as well. This year they'll find out if the core was being held back by the extreme defensive structure Trotz was deploying.


Personally I think Trotz had them playing better than the talent level they have, but at least this year they'll find out for sure if they have a group capable of winning or not. My prediction is they're a bottom 10 team.

With Naz pretty much gone, will G be traded?

Certainly not

Friedman said in 32 thoughts about a week ago that the Avs have no interest in moving him, at least not for making cap space for Kadri.

 

[Goulet17]

 

[hughdreamz]

That’s fine. Give him $12M/8

Highest paid player is McDavid at $12.5 MM AAV. Have to go higher if he wants to be the highest paid player.

 

[CharlesPuck]

I mean retroactively Nate deserves to be “made up” a lot of money from his current contract.

Just too bad that new AAV has to count against a hard cap.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Unsurprising. He won his cup. Now he's going to get paid.

 

[Avaholic29]

What’s dater spitballing in this article? Couldn’t pay me to subscribe, is he just speculating? Mack wants more than 12.5?!

Meant $13/8

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

That’s an awfully confident take from Dater, we’ll see.

I think MacK knows that going to 12, or more means that he’ll have less support.

He says NHL sources tell him Mackinnon’s camp expects highest paid player status. Then Dater guesses at least 13 million.

 

[Foppberg]

I still think he signs for something like 6x11M.

 

[The Abusement Park]

I still think he signs for something like 6x11M.

It's going to be 8 years no matter what imo.

 

[Iceberg]

I still think he signs for something like 6x11M.

He is getting 8 years.

 

[AvsCOL]

Dater deserves the Eklund distinction at this point. When's the last time he was right on something?

He said Manson was gone for sure.

I think he called PAP

 

[AvsWraith]

Really hope that isn't true. Going to 12.5-13M on MacK will hurt.

CM: "You know we can't draft outside the top 10, right?"

 

[John Mandalorian]

Who’s even sharing information with Dater at this point? And what are the odds he gets a scoop on both Kadri and MacKinnon?

 

[Mighty Makar]

I think he called PAP

Iggy, too.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Please don't Toews/Kane this. Their contracts killed Chicago in a way.

 

[Avaholic29]

Yeah I highly doubt it, unless Mack is content with one cup and just wants bank now.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Please don't Toews/Kane this. Their contracts killed Chicago in a way.

I mean what's the other option?
