Rumor: 2023-24 Trade Rumors and Free Agency: Season Thread

[Balthazar]

So we’re trading Toews because his contract is up next year. We’re doing the same to Mikko when his contract is up, and now we’re getting rid of Nuke because he did something which we don’t even know the whole story.

I mean why not just start a full rebuild right now? Imagine how many picks and prospects we can get for Toews, Mikko, Nuke, Makar and MacK

 

[Chiarelli]

what are the comps for Marchassault?
Strange case for sure. Deserves to be paid but it won't be in Vegas and I imagine he will be regressing very soon.

You forgot Byram.

 

[Valushkin]

You forgot Byram.

Byram is young enough to keep him for the rebuild

Brutal organization , if I was a free agent player , no amount of shiny Vegas bling lifestyle would be worth playing for ***hole ownership . They turn on you without a care it would seem . Say what you will about Sakic and management , they at least try to do right by the players . I can respect that

This is an adult game, played by adult rules.

Vegas is both open about it, and good at it.

In the language of Marc Bergevin, it wouldn’t be a rebuild, but a retool

 

[Cousin Eddie]

With all the success Vegas has had in such a short period of time being topped off with a god damn cup ring, I can’t criticize the way they do things.

 

[Balthazar]

If your Slovak is rusty:

Tatar says he's working on a 1 year contract and smiled when asked if it was Pittsburgh.

 

[Foppa2118]

Vegas' strategy of not giving a f*** about any of their players didn't burn them, because they were gifted a Cup contending team full of assets right out the gate, and won the Cup during the brief window they had.

If they didn't have such a competitive roster so early, their strategy would have looked awful.

If they didn't win, they'd be looking to do a reset and bring in new younger players, with the reputation of a team that will throw you overboard five seconds after you get on their boat, if they feel like it helps them get where they want to go.

Now they have the reputation of a Cup winner which will negate the problems with their approach. In true Vegas fashion they had to get lucky in multiple ways to win with their strategy.

If he's been drafted then he's already too God damned old for this shit.

 

[Valushkin]

Alright, trade him too. I just thought they might need one veteran 5 years into rebuild to help the young players

That's what MacDermid is for. He'll protect them too.... or something like that.

Or maybe Cogs can still play when he’s in his 40s. The ultimate vet to help the kids

Agreed. At least we know that Cogs will teach em how to hoist the cup properly and not fall over while carrying it like MacDoofus.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Nah but you do have to actually be a good player to be considered part of a core.

 

[Valushkin]

Also teach them how to play with broken neck

Avs going to sneak in and acquire Marchessault in a 3-team trade, he will compete with Makar for the Conn Smythe

 

[BobRossColton]

Instead of marchessault, go get gourde

 

[Sea Eagles]

Last thread was getting full. Continue all of the sky is falling discussion here.

Sky IS falling mate......on 31 other clubs as the puck drops this season, and our AVS fire up
We are going to come at this season with all our guns firing.

It's going to be as satisfying as givin the ol' missus a kiss on the cheek.

 

[Balthazar]

Perron

Perron aged very well and he's only 3 years older. Are you sure he's a good example?

 

[JH21]

So wait...Compher and Jost are gone so MacDermid is now the forum whipping boy? Is that how we are supposed to do it?

Just making sure we are all on the same page and regurgitating the same nonsense.

Oh, this board doesn't discriminate - most players get a thorough whipping throughout the year

I’m saying that’s the contract comparable. Not that it matters much but an early to mid 30s winger who is still productive. Good or bad is up to the individual to decide.

I know you are joking but I was secretly hoping you weren’t
