Do you realize how f***ing fat MacKinnon would get for training camp knowing the entire core is gone?

He'd come in at 245.

I'll raise ya..


Crosby desides at 4 Nations he wants to move. Comes here 50% retained, Mack forgets Mikko existed. Jones also fits because Mitts is gone.

Necas and Crosby have great chemistry.

Landeskog comes back, and is awesome.


Win

This is some fan fiction I can get behind. Much better than Spock and Kirk making out Dan fiction.

The Star Trek Picard series was a pretty awesome send off for that crew though.

Can we get Crosby and Marchand for Nate’s psyche? He’d be the happiest human being in the history of happy human beings

Good. Then he'll become the new Tim Kerr and actually SHOOT the puck and score 100 per season.

 

[hockeyfish]

Not going to lie, I’m tempted to buy an Avs custom jersey, 87 Crosby, and take it to Pepsi and just see what reaction I get.

 

[Balthazar]

Apparently Pettersson was the one going to the Canes before they pivoted to Mikko. Friedman mentions the Sabres as a team to watch for EP now.

Poor guy might go from having to deal with that scrub JT to possibly being sent to Buffalo.

Sabres have all the pieces for EP. If they do offer Cozens and Byram no one is gonna top that.

I don't really want Marchand tbh, sorry, no more chairs available.

 

[Cypher]

I don't expect the Avs to make another move until near the trade deadline. Let this current roster gel and see what the need is. Also to accumulate cap space and see how Nuke and Landy's return timeline look. And see what teams drop out of the east race.

Avs won’t be accumulating cap space.

You underestimate the Avs abitility to accumulate injuries

Where’s that MacKinnon training camp photo where he bulked up like 30 pounds in an offseason and his head grew like twice its normal size?

I'd really love to see them acquire at least 1 bottom-pair D before the 4 Nations tourney so that we don't have to keep watching the turd carousel of a 3rd paring every night

I hope they try to make their moves as soon as possible, give the team some time to bond and figure each other out

Imagine:

It's July, 2026.

Mikko Rantanen is playing for the Dallas Stars, Gabriel Landeskog has already announced that he's never coming back and will finish his contract on LTIR.

Martin Necas has underwhelmed to the tune of 50 points but is being courted like he's Andre Burakovsky, Casey Mittelstadt has literally morphed into Ryan Johansen and Cale Makar has told the Avs he wants nothing to do with them and will be signing a 7 year, 112 million dollar contract with the Calgary Flames.

Good times ahead.

So you see the glass as half full?

It's as possible as Crosby coming here

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Out of curiosity. Has anyone checked on Seth Jones to see if he's feeling better?

I almost believed we were going to see something done with him at some point last night as well.

 

[pont]

It’s fun thinking about it. It’s also not 2010 anymore either. He would be a great add today, but I would imagine he would not come cheap.

I don't care, he chose to sign there.

If he's crying a lot, it's his fault.

Same with Mikko

f*** em, p***yes

 

[Balthazar]

Man now that we no longer have to worry about Rants, if CMac can move the crap (Wood, Mitts and Colton) he'll have a lot of cap space to work with. Like enough cap space for a guy like EP + Landy next year to replace Mitts and Colton. Crazy stuff.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Man with our bit of cap space we have I sure would love to find a way to bring Naz back now. I bet the locker room would welcome the move as well.


There's a couple Flames fans on the main boards that have suggested Mittelstadt + Ritchie for Kadri + Andersson.


That would be a quality move for us.

Could be a deadline move if the Flames fall out of it, but right now they're in WC2 with games in hand on us, so I don't think it's something they would do now.

 

[Richard88]

Needed to go about a year ago tbh

Needed to not be signed in the first place

Looking at the big picture, most of the trades and UFA signings in the CMac era didn't go well for the Avs.

His track record isn't good with Wood, Colton, Ryjo, Mitts, Tatar, Brannstrom and all his deadline rentals.

Newhook trade was good but he turned it into a bad contract (Colton) and used the late 1st on a player that may never play in the NHL.

Hopefuly the Blackwood, Parsnip and Necas acquisitions are the beginning of a new era.

Colton is a bad contract?
