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

[expatriatedtexan]

It depends on how far back you go. They traded a 1st for Varlamov.

They also traded a 1st for the player that was once Adam Foote. I damn near lost my mind at the time.

But I hear you. Doesn't happen all that often.

I mean, I used to understand the value of draft picks when Joe Sakic was in charge. Second round picks got work done. With CMac in charge though a 2nd gets you Lars f***ing Eller. Picks aren't what they used to be, that's for sure. Maybe they will start using the 1st in trades, CMac's apparently taken to wiping his ass with 2nds.

 

[ABasin]

This regime does not trade 1sts. That's the point.

I would rather they learn how to draft 1sts, rather than learn how to trade them.

 

[Avs_19]

I wanted them to trade both Sakic and Hejduk.

 

[Chiarelli]

this has to be an all in year. All 1st round picks should be on the table. I honestly give them a pass for last year the team just didn't have the drive and everything seemed to go wrong.

 

[LOFIN]

I'd call up Halak

I'm not really into cap gymnastics that much with this LTIR bullshit. Could we sign a goalie for league minimum without Frankie being on LTIR, or would we have to waive someone we don't want to or something?

f*** the NHL for making fans do arithmetic.

 

[BrickNHL]

Who are the leftover free agent goalies?

 

[quesosauce]

is it time to consider moving on from frankie? hes been great in his time here , but just always dealing with injuries

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Just grab someone on waivers

What do you mean by "moving on"? Should the Avs re-sign him? Absolutely not. But there's no easy way to get rid of him either. I guess you could try to waive him.

Convince him to go on LTIR for the rest of the year.

CapFriendly has the Avs with $525K in cap space, with Meyers and Olofsson on the roster. They send one of them down and they would have $1.3M in cap space. That should be enough.

Nuke isn't a 3rd liner on any team in the NHL

He is here. That's how deadly awesome our team is

 

[UncleRisto]

In 1999, no less.

yea waive/LTIR him and just send him on his way, i cant see anyone trading for him

 

[JH21]

LTIR Francouz. Dudes a bandaide.

Sign Quick or Halak.

 

[BobRossColton]

Add Girard and get a legit tandem + D

I like Halak, but personally speaking, he's done. He was completely awful for the Rags last season.

Quick's a Rag

 

[LOFIN]

Meh. He started awful, but was a decent backup later on. Would've rather had him than Quick for the league minimum Quick signed. And a lot of that "awful" was more about the Rangers as a team being awful than Halak shitting the bed.

Trade 2024 first pick for Askarov

Give him the back up time and he will be your futur

George is probably around too long for that to work. But damn I'd love Askarov.

 

[Balthazar]

No Jonathan Quick please. And no Halak either.

He'd cost more than that but I'd pay up.

 

[LOFIN]

Well you can breathe with Quick, because he's with the Rangers.

As for Halak, why not? I'd rather have him than any other 3rd stringer, provided he's willing to do it for the league minimum. And at this point, I would imagine he'd jump on that chance.

 

[Gumballhead]

George is probably around too long for that to work. But damn I'd love Askarov.

Askarov and ye shall receiverov.

 

[UncleRisto]

It's between Jaro Halak and the return of Brian Elliott and Mike Hutchinson.
