Rumor: 2023-24 Trade Rumors and Free Agency: Part Deux

[Hasbro]

I didn’t know the oilers fans were flat earthers

Seem more a Manitoba thing.

If RNH is actually available I’d hope the Avs take a look. That’s a really good contract

Absolutely.

And if recent Avalanche history has taught us anything, it's always talk trade with crappy GMs.

 

[BobRossColton]

RNH has an nmc though. He'd have to waive it correct?

 

[AvsCOL]

Boone Jenner is still my pick. Guy is awesome t even strength, and his cap hit is perfect.

The Avalanche would at least be tempting.

I have watched enough RNH over the years to know you can't win with guys like him in the playoffs.

People think Tatar is soft. RNH in the playoffs is a disaster. His point totals the last two playoff runs are deceiving, too, because they are mostly tied to 97.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Nuge is a pansy. Especially in the playoffs.

I'd rather have JTC at 1C over RNH.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

RNH would be an excellent add but I can't see why Edmonton ever trades him. He's a guy who wants to be there and took a legitimate discount to stay.

 

[sethro109]

No thank you to RNH.

 

[Ceremony]

I'd only take Nugent-Hopkins if Landeskog's Calder trophy got nailed to his locker room stall.

 

[Cypher]

Jenner and Peeke would be my targets.

You gotta suspend your disbelief when cheering for the Oilers.

What happens to Sammy G's $5M cap while he's in the program? Is it like LTIR or does it count fully?

I believe LTIR


Edit:




Avs all of a sudden have upwards of $10M in LTIR space. Though I expect at least Lehky to be back before seasons end but it feels like G could be out until playoffs tbh.

Well, he is a 7/8 dman for a reason.

Gonna be hilarious when CMac picks up Lars Eller at the deadline and nothing else with all his extra money from G going on LTIR.

The Lars Eller trade was the biggest waste of a 2nd round pick I've seen. Not because he sucked but because CMac knew that doing that trade alone would not make any difference whatsoever and he still pulled the trigger.

There’s nothing to suggest that Girard is going to miss 6 months of hockey.

And because it’s not an injury, attempting to predict a return is impossible

 

[Avsboy]

Whoa, whoa, wait...are you telling me Nurse and Klefbom are available??

How many guys have gone into the program and came out to play the same season? Vrana is the only one I can recall. Bobby Ryan I dont think came back the same year. Carey Price is done. Spencer Knight went in and hasnt been in the NHL since. Seems that more often then not that players that go into the program dont come back the same season and for good reason.

 

[Balthazar]

If G doesn't come back this season and the plan was trading him next summer CMac will have to get really creative. Especially if Landy comes back...holy f***.

Yeah, G could easily be done for the rest of this year.

But it is a tough one to be able to know either way so I doubt the Avs use his LTIR money. We'll see.
