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

[Northern Avs Fan]

Interesting read explaining in details why Newhook's strengths were a bad fit for the Avs style.

I think being more free to make mistakes playing for a team without expectations might help him.

I don’t understand at all how his ‘speed game’ is a better fit for Montreal. He’s also, not that high end of a skater at the NHL level. Good skater, not a great skater. That checked out in Colorado and will in Montreal too.

If the rest of his game grows they’ll have a nice player, but it seems like the scouting report on the skating is outdated.

That pizza looks as gross as Detroit pizza AKA Roman pizza. I guess St. Louis pizza is just as awful. Their toasted ravioli is quite good though.

Whaaa? Detroit style pizza rocks.

I would really like to see this play out but I also wouldn't mind seeing us sign an established 3W if we can. Signing a 2W or trading Girard for one I think is a pipe dream.

I think if we give Foudy a month or two and it's not working out, we absolutely need to be working the trade lines trying to find a resolution instead is sitting on it until the deadline.

Yeah Detroit pizza is amazing... St Louis is garbage. processed cheese food on a cracker passed off as pizza.

 

[Avsboy]

Mentioning words “Foudy” with sliced bagels is causing pain to my torso and brain

 

[ABasin]

I will not back down on shitting on St Louis.

I'm on team Hench when it comes to StL. Pretty nasty city all around.

Some of the western suburbs are quite nice. Around WashU, Webster Groves, Kirkwood, etc.

Everyone in Denver should go eat at Blue Pan. Unreal pizza.

Not sure how to get it done, but I want Kane.

Wait 6-8 months?

[Bill Peckerskull]

Wait 6-8 months?

From my understanding, he was supposed to miss 4-6 months from the time of his surgery. If you go off the worst-case (6 months), then he'd miss the first 2 months. If it's 4 months, then he'd possibly be ready by the start of the season. There have already been videos of him training released.

Players around the league breathe a sigh of relief

There goes another cheap, pretty decent bottom 6 guy

 

[UncleRisto]

Huh. Greiss is 37 already.

There goes another cheap, pretty decent bottom 6 guy

This sucks.

 

[BobRossColton]

Who do we go get now (if anyone)?

Brett Ritchie? Ethan Bear? Pius Suter?

 

[Mighty Makar]

I want Kassian.

Tatar is a passable name in a top 9 if you get him cheap. Noah Gregor though is the name I'd watch for the Avs.

 

[EdAVSfan]

Yup. I said it as well. He satisfies and checks off a few boxes for support during the regular season.

I know nothing about Gregor besides he seems like a full lot of meh player.

Which I guess is exactly what Boqvist is as well.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

I’m glad Avs aren’t picking up this remaining free agents even if they are cheap. Save that cap space, trade for more impactful players at the trade deadline.

I still don't get this logic. You need to fill the spot somehow, and Sundqvist/Boqvist are cheaper than Meyers/Foudy/Pavel.

Gregor skates, hits, and shoots the puck. Which is pretty much to job description for the bottom 6 under Bednar.

There aren’t many spots left to fill out, it will be better if they fill them out with better players who will have better impact for a cup run

 

[PAZ]

Better players cost more money. There will be at least 1-2 roster spots making under a mil, and Boqvist/Sundqvist will have a bigger impact than the prospects in our system.

I mean... They still have to fill out the roster. Boqvist and Sundqvist literally just signed for league minimum. You can't fill out the roster with cheaper contracts.

Ben Meyers for example had a QO of I believe $870,000. So if he's who they fill out the 4th line with, he's going to cost 100k more than what Boqvist would have cost us to be the 4C.
