Rumor: 2023-2024 Trade Rumors and Free Agency: Off-season is in full swing

[RoyIsALegend]

What can we get for 27 and 31 combined?

Newhook + Evilsister.

 

[Avs44]

Because unless I'm trippin on toadstools, I prefer reality.

Ok, admit it henchy, how did you slip the toadstools to the Avs’ management?

 

[Ararana]

How the f*** did we end up with three picks in the top 37 so quickly?

Fire CMac!

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Newhook deal has restored all of my faith in CMac.

This is a perfect example of learning from previous mistakes. Not making the Jost mistake twice.


This was also literally twice as much value as I thought they'd get. It was literally like Sunday that I said I think Newhooks value was worth a pick in the 30-40 range and they just got 2 of em lol.

 

[LOFIN]

If anyone needed reassurance that this was the right move to do, here ya go

 

[Ararana]

Fire CMac!

Still no legit 2C. But he certainly has the assets to change that now.

 

[JLo217]

I have a feeling that Newhook probably wanted out.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Now it will be especially interesting to see what else they've got cooking. If they used all 3 picks I wouldn't hate it completely because our prospect pool is a joke right now...


But at the same time even just one of those 1sts could get us a really good player with how desperate teams are to dump cap space at the moment.


Go get Garland from Vancouver with 50% retention for the #27 pick.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

What’s unclear at this point is if McFalrland has something in the works for a new addition, or if Bednar told him he’d rather pay his son JT 4 than Newhook 2.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Gotta be something else cooking. No way they decide to suddenly stockpile picks. Hopefully bring in a middle 6 C and a top 6 winger with those picks

There has to be, at the moment they're missing a center. Please god don't let it be JT Compher.

 

[Avs_19]

Avs have the ammunition required for the next Eller!

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Well I'm not getting anything done at work this afternoon or tomorrow quite frankly at this point.

 

[The Moops]

I actually wouldn't be sad about JTC coming back @ 4M, but he'd be dumb to do that. He probably gets 5+ from the Hawks

 

[Gumballhead]

I have a feeling that Newhook probably wanted out.

I get the feeling that Avs prospects that can't seem to do what Bedsy wants or needs them to be doing probably end up very frustrated. This move helps everyone. I like Newhook, but it's been really hard to see what we had in him and time was kinda up with the RFA thing. Best case scenario.

No way Garland costs a 1st based on the Ryjo and Hayes trades. I could see him getting a little more than Hayes but a 1st seems like overkill.

Dude same, and I'm so swamped it's not even funny. Sorry, boss this is more entertaining

[tucker3434]

With that much draft capital, I hope we’re no longer looking at short term rentals for the top 6.

Possibly. He showed some signs but I don't really think he's got the tools. He somewhat reminds me of a less physical Andrighetto.

 

[Sea Eagles]

I would qualify ERod as more of a Top-9 player rather than a Bottom 6 player, he was all over lines 1-3 at various times, but no matter let's take a quick statistical look:

Rodrigues: 39 points
Malgin: 21 points
Newhook: 30 points
Cogliano: 19 points
O'Connor: 26 points

Again, Rodrigues is more a Top-9/Middle-6 as opposed to a pure Bottom-6 player, so he almost shouldn't really be included in this.

We're not even getting in to other rotational players that came in and out.

There really isn't any way to spin this positively--the Avs did not have good depth up and down the lineup, and the players who you're pumping up...they were a lot closer to the 25 point mark as opposed to the 40 point mark you're putting out there.

What's your honest and fair expectation productivity wise for a bottom 6 in the NHL (say on average)?

Also, for example, of Malgins 21 points, how many games was that over, and what would the total be if you extrapolate that out to 82 games?

 

[hockeyfish]

Lundell & Duclair for Girard, Avs 1st 2023, 2024, and 20205.
Laughton for Florida 1st and Foudy.
Sharangovich for Montreal 2nd.

Yeah, i'm thinking crazy stuff.

 

[AvsWraith]

So impressed with CMac/Sakic right now.

Didn't wait until the value was completely gone like they did with Jost. Way to learn from your mistakes.
