Rumor: 2024-2025 Trade Rumors and Free Agency Talk | Part Deux

I know his contract is obviously insane but the Avs have been in on Seth Jones before. If there’s any type of retention + return money possibility you bet your ass they’re checking in on it.

Jones hasn't really been good for a while, and I don't think it's just because he's on a bad team. I can't really come up with a deal there that works.

Could they be looking at Connor Murphy?

They could probably make it work if the cap increases as expected, but Chicago would have to retain around $2mil and take Wood back. The rest is what to do with Manson's last year versus Drouin and Rantanen's plans. Also if Landy comes back.

Lots of moving parts, but it is doable imo. Jones would crush it behind Makar, I have no doubt there.

Manson, in any kind of deal like that, would have to be included. Even then, if you get 2 retained and move Wood + Manson, you pretty much leave almost no room for a Rantanen extension. That is of course assuming Landy is part of next years plans.

Ryan Donato is another Chicago guy I'd have interest in.

I think Avs would seek to keep the team together this year and move Manson/RossCo in the offseason pending the Rantanen negotiation and Landy return. Stack the deck as much as possible, leverage LTIR to your advantage.

If you're going to keep Rantanen for the run, might as well go all out. Otherwise why bother keeping him.

Who could we get that would pick up bednar's system quickest?

Besides previous players

 

[AvalancheSpeedsters]

I just don't see why the Hawks would send their GM to scout a 4th liner in his first NHL season. It makes zero sense

The hype is real

Hall would make no difference here , but Seth Jones, now we’re talking (in Heath Ledger’s Joker voice)

I think the entire general population knows Bednar's system. Play top line 25-30 mins / game, pray they score a couple goals and hope the rest of the team don't screw up too much.

Maybe Chicago are scouting Nichushkin. The Avs reportedly explored every way to move him or terminate his contract last off-season and perhaps there's still an appetite to trade him now instead of risking having him ruin a third playoff run in a row.

Nichushkin and Hall have similar caphits ($6.125m Vs $6m). Alternatively something around Nichushkin and Seth Jones could be made to work capwise by finding a way to bridge $3.375m...

Drouin - MacKinnon - Rantanen
Lehkonen - Mittelstadt - Landeskog?
Wood - Colton - LOC
Parssinen - Kelly - Kiviranta

Toews - Makar
Girard - Jones
DeHaan - Manson
