Rumor: 2023-2024 Trade Rumors and Free Agency: Offseason Edition

[Bill Peckerskull]

JTC listed 3rd...

 

[hughdreamz]

If Miller was 4-5 years younger, I would.

And if Miller was actually any good at 5v5

 

[BrickNHL]

JTC listed 3rd...

Isn’t he an Aves fan? Not the smartest fanbase on Twitter

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

0 chance they don’t match it. Worst case scenario match and trade.

That term would suck ass though. 5 years then UFA already. Like Montreal did to Carolina with Aho.

Play him with Makar for a season so he looks like a legit top pairing guy. Then trade him for a good cheap young C next summer.

 

[BaconNater]

Cup champ JT2C.. maybe there is a bidding war for his negotiation rights!!

 

[Bone Breaker]

if they can get OEL in a 1-2y cheap cup-chasing-deal, that would mitigate a lot the loss of one of Byram/Girard/Toews. OEL without an albatross contract is not a liability imo. though of course my dream would be having Orlov in the Avs.

Probably, but they can’t sign and trade Byram right away. It would give the Avs real fits.

 

[dahrougem2]

Vancouver isn't gonna offersheet Byram lol

 

[Mighty Makar]

The Canucks are missing a LH dman on their 2nd pairing. Girard

 

[Balthazar]

OEL's buyout is telling me that the Canucks probably have no intention to trade Miller.

 

[lionsDen]

What a depressing free agency list. Hope the avs can pull something out of their ass

 

[The Moops]

What a depressing free agency list. Hope the avs can pull something out of their ass

Worst UFA class I can remember

 

[myperbixhurts]

Avs rarely pick up UFAs anyway. That list is pretty meh. Need to pull off a trade for a 2C

Money being equal, I'm thinking I'd rather take a run at Gudas and bone up the right side instead simply because I worry about Manson's health.

The idea is to find the next Gudas, not overpay for this Gudas.

 

[Alienblood]

Nobody on earth besides you makes this trade

With a Vancouver add ? I'm not sure I would make this but would strongly consider it all things considered.

Also Vancouver says no cause they already have Hughes

Makar has gotten a little overated for his 1 big season.and next contract will be too much.
Can you imagine the Avs with Mack and Petterson 2 of the 3 best centers in the league signed longterm ?
Allowing them to keep Toews and Byram and Girard

Vancouver isn't gonna offersheet Byram lol

They should

 

[PAZ]

Money isn't going to be equal.

Gudas is going to cost $2.5-3.5 mil for 2-3 years.

If OEL wants to chase a cup, he'll sign for $1-1.5 mil.

 

[myperbixhurts]

Why are we trading Makar? You don’t trade Makar for anything. I wouldn’t trade Makar for McDavid

 

[Alienblood]

To get the 3rd best center in the league signed longterm at a decent cap hit while Makar is due for a huge raise in a few years and will want crazy money and maybe can't keep him or he bolts for Calgary.

Never mind the fact he's always hurt.

Mack and Petterson down the middle is Sakic / Forsberg all over again. And for 8 years at least.

Landy Mack Nuke
Lehky Pete Mikko

You realize since Makar debuted Pettersson has played a whopping 16 more games than him?

Gross.

 

[myperbixhurts]

Makar has the 2nd most value in the NHL right now after McDavid, but for me and actually for the Avs, he’s more valuable than McDavid because Avs already have a #1 center, without Makar they would not have a #1 D which you really need to win

 

[Alienblood]

Dude…..NO!!!!!

Makar is untouchable

Sleep on it lol , I'm not saying I would do it but wow would give us 2 of the 3 best C's in the league
