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

[UncleRisto]

New rule?

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

1st+OO(would cost more I imagine but) for Laughton

Lehk-Mack-Mikko
Nuke-RyJo-Drouin
Colton-Laughton-LOC
xxx-Meyers-xxx

I think you split up Mack/Mikko honestly but otherwise yeah. That group is pretty much exactly how I would construct a forward core lol.


Forechecking, two way monsters on the wings, with a few elite skill guys that will create all kinds of offense with that time and space sprinkled throughout the lineup.

CMac has now turned Newhook and Galchenyuk’s UFA right into RyJo @50%, Ross Colton, #31 and D depth for the Eagles.

Should just fire him now

Waiting for good ole chet to wake up to explain to everyone how this is the worst thing in the universe because cmac did it.

I think it’s also important that these couple trades have term, 2 yrs for RyJo and Colton RFA. Our top 3 centres are locked in for the next two seasons is nice. (Assuming at minimum 2 year deal for Colton)

I just thought of this, but kind of sucks the Grzlecyk’s contract ends this season. I‘d bet there’s a chance he’s available for free and he’d be a perfect Girard replacement(and we‘d save cap) on the bottom pair if he got moved for futures or a winger of sorts.

Guess it wouldn’t matter a ton about his contract ending tbf. That would mean Toews comes back
and by then Behrens would probably take the 3rd pairing spot behind Byram-Toews anyways…

What do you mean CMac did it?

Colton is such a pain to play against too, the forecheck of lehkonen, Nichushkin, Colton and O’Connor is going to be a treat to watch..

Thank God Sakic is picking up the slack....

you joke, but since my recent return from the 15 year absence, i've debated re-blocking him half a dozen times.

Now imagine tossing Kiviranta in there.

 

[BobRossColton]

Lehky Nate mikko
(Duclair) RyJo Nuke
Colton (Laughton) (engvall)
(Aston Reese) (??) LOC

Trash.

I would be fine with most of it, but the repetition makes me crazy. Makes me crazy. Makes me crazy. Makes me crazy. Makes me crazy.

Honestly, this gives me hope that is what they are planning on (not necessarily Kirivanta specifically). They've been at their most dangerous when they just overwhelm other teams with a strong forecheck.

 

[BobRossColton]

Kampf just signed an extension

 

[dahrougem2]

I credit @forsbergavs32 for the trade. He woke up and demanded trades, and damnit he got one.

[forsbergavs32]

Even the guys on SiriusXM still think Sakic is the GM

 

[Gumballhead]

Trash.

Why? I was impressed with his motor and tenacity every time I saw him. A little bit like Antii Laaksonen - and after I wished for him we got him, so

 

[UncleRisto]

I don't love the names that people keep bringing up. Laughton (at the price that's been rumored), Duclair, Garland... They really need to swing for a bigger piece somehow.

 

[redacted]

I want a Wood-Colton-LOC 3rd line... it'll be inconsistent offensively and will have their fair share of penalty issues, but it would probably be the best forechecking line in the entire league. Find a way to make it happen CMac.

Agreed. I don't like Conor Garland at all, actually, and Duclair is way too inconsistent and one-man-team for my liking.

I could deal with Laughton but definitely not for a 1st round pick.

Avs need to aim higher than this.
