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

[Linds]

Avs are going to get a good player for really cheap on a one year deal.

I hope so or we're F'd

 

[dahrougem2]

Fisher sucks no? Surprised there’s so much interest in him.

He's a 4th line centre. Nothing more. Any team signing him to play top 9 minutes is asking to suck.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

They don't even need to have scoring talent on the third and fourth lines.

Just guys who aren't a net negative and can make opposing defenders worry about a forecheck.

Seattle's D are terrible but they all looked like Makar with the puck since only Lehks is a threat to win the puck back from a defender.

Everyone, MacK included just does a weak stick check fly by. This is part of the system but it seems like the organization has finally decided to change this philosophy.

I've said it for a while, we need the bottom-6 to create chaos. They'll get offense from that with the puck carrying abilities of the defense.

I mean if we get literally 2 goals out of our bottom six in that series we probably win it. So I would hope there is SOME scoring talent in the bottom six.

Thats what I mean? I just don’t really gets what he adds. He’s kinda big, but isn’t that great offensively and sucks defensively. I just don’t get the appeal I guess.

Must be great with media/fans lol.

Bottom six vs Seattle : no forecheck no defense no offense no physical play

Having them contribute literally anything positive would be an upgrade.

Gurianov would be such an old 'us' add, but it seems that maybe the tide is turning on these transactions into more sure-fire options. Learned from all of the risks last year.

I would like one sort of boom/bust add in Comtois, Gurianov, MaxPac or Drouin, and surefire things to fill out the rest of the lineup i.e. Zucker or JVR (though there are some injury histories)

Wood I like but wary of, I don't think he's his same self after surgery last offseason. Maybe he just needs more time to get up to speed? Wouldn't want him higher than the 4th line.

Clifton would be a great EJ replacement

#1 UFA targets from the DNVR boys:

Rudo: Patches

AJ: Soucy (and Patches)

 

[sethro109]

It can be...

Are we finally going to flood Kansas?

All the alcohol has killed their brain cells

 

[dahrougem2]

Pacioretty is going to look like MacDermid out there skating. Just say no. Two achilles tears in less than a year. His career is over.

 

[Mooserton]

Patches would be a horrible add I also think he is a twat but that’s neither here nor there.

 

[lonelybadger]

I think JJ, Drouin, Wood, and a trade for a 50% off Arvidsson.

Soucy is going to get a good paycheck, doesn't make sense, even if we move GIrard IMO. Won't be much difference in their contracts.

I think JJ, Drouin, Wood, and a trade for a 50% off Arvidsson.

Why would LA retain 50% of Arvidsson? Way more value to them at full price

 

[CoachBadkitten]

Soucy would be solid but will probably be paid too much.

 

[forsbergavs32]

I work in a grocery store and it’s 4th of July weekend so it’s gonna be f***ing busy, but I won’t be getting shit done. I’ll have NHL on SiriusXM playing in my ear and I’ll be glued to the board for all the hot takes here (and the melt down if we bring back Duchene).

 

[jaisen73]

I can live with Pacioretty if an only if it's 1 year and the max is 1.5 million. I think someone else out there will pay him more.

Do they have enough collective brain power for brain cells to be plural?

 

[expatriatedtexan]

God I would love Wood next to Colton on the third line. Not sure the Avs will be able to beat out other teams for him though.

Could you imagine those two on a line with Lappy in his prime?

 

[AvsWraith]

So, if we set aside like 7M for Bo and Colton, we have roughly 8M to fill the rest of the holes. That's not enough. We're trying to fill a top line winger, 2 middle six, 1 bottom six, and potentially another d-man.

XXX - MacK - Rants
Lehk - RyJo - Nuke
XXX - Colton - XXX
XXX - Meyers - LOC

8M is not gonna cut it.

HEY! Some of us live here!

Josh Manson was such a poor contract.
