How about Mitts for Nelson one for one? Who says no?

I’d hope the Avs

I still want mitts to turn it around, but what about mitts+ for cirelli

Bob.

I want you to tell me why Tampa Bay makes that trade.

Please.

@BobRossColton you should do this for every proposal you make

And if you can't, don't post it.

Shorter contract for mitts, could open up a spot for geekie as 2c quicker.. And depends on who we'd add to mitts..

Like I said I just want mitts to turn it around.

I’d do that for sure but why would Tampa?

 

[dahrougem2]

There’s no realistic 2C options out there.

We really should just try Necas at center, but Bednar loves loading up his top line so it’s unlikely to happen. One of Necas’ frustrations in Carolina was not playing center. That’s his natural position.

Most teams would kill to have a 1-2 punch that just dominates the middle of the ice and drives play like MacK-Marty.

Put a Nuke or Lehky with him to do the heavy lifting defensively and let him focus on gaining speed up the middle and pushing the play up ice.

Trade Mittelstadt and something for a winger and a depth defenseman.

This is probably the most realistic path towards playoff success and the most unrealistic based on how Bednar operates.

Frustrating.

 

[BobRossColton]

What if we already have our "next up" 2C in parssinen and we're waiting to see what the break does for mitts.

 

[Valushkin]

I’d hope the Avs

The only reason I’d hesitate to do that is because Nelson is 33. How many years of Nelson would we be getting if we traded a much younger player for him

Nelson is a UFA in 5 months.

Good luck extending him for anything close to Mitts’ $5.75m AAV for 3 seasons.

Nelson's next contract is gonna be a bad one. 7.5x5 or something crazy

He hasn't exactly been lighting it up either though. You'd have to accept you might have a giant hole with very few assets to fill it.

I don't think I'd do it.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Folks have blinders on with their own personal bias skewing things so aggressively that we are formulating trade offers for older players, looking at bigger contracts with basically the same if not worse production than our “bad player”

 

[Cypher]

Philly loves Russians? What is this based on?.

They're star player is Russian and they just traded for his friend who he played with in the KHL, Kuzmenko.

 

[Ceremony]

Why doesn't Mittelstadt just play better? Then we wouldn't have to trade him.

[Grackle Party]

Bucci said it’s basically the worst kept secret that Brock Nelson is signing with the Mild

 

[Bender]

I could see Roy quitting immediately if they traded Barzal for Mitts.

Then Lou will do it for revenge on Roy for the things he said in the media about the roster

 

[Valushkin]

We should just convert Nuke into center. Big body, fast, great defensively, all he’d need is to work on faceoffs.

Let’s go!!!!

In a pinch, I would not bet against him being able to do it. On the ice he's a monster.

Well, that tracks. He likes to take his toys and go home when he doesn’t get his way.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Funny enough Malkin probably is one of the best available options out there right now for this team. I wouldn’t be shocked at all to see that happen.

He’d be good for Nuke too.

Plus, he can't go a month without getting hurt! He'd fit right in!

 

[AvsWraith]

My prediction is Nuke is gonna need surgery before we see his old monster self again. The dude looks thrashed as hell.

Well and how to play the position entirely...
