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

Oof yeah. Almost a minute lower than his previous lowest TOI this year—and a game where they needed as much firepower as possible to match Edmonton.

I’m wondering if when return from the break and he’s gone. This feels like the beginning of the end.

I wouldn't be to shocked if he gets moved tomorrow.

CMac needs to use this 4 Nations break to make his big moves. It’s clear who Bednar trusts and doesn’t, the team isn’t going very far if Bednar is going to be that stubborn

I dunno, he gave Mitts a VERY long leash up until recently. I don’t really think this is on Bednar. None of these players beyond the top five are really giving him many options.

 

[nammerus]

There was no hope. He got a couple of assists and all of a sudden some people thought he was fine and we didn't need to replace him anymore.

It wasn't real.

Luckily we used our most valuable (non-Mac/Rants/Mak) trading chip to pick him up.

Couple of days before the break, no Avs games, I wonder if CMac has got something cooking and wants to let new player(s) familiarize themselves with Denver and move at a decent pace.

God I f***ing hope we see some deal this weekend.

 

[Pokecheque]

There’s no roster freeze during this tournament, at least that’s what I heard on NHL Network radio the other day. GMCM better be burning up the phone lines.

If CMac is gonna replace Mitts by getting a new 2C, it absolutely has to be for someone established. Can’t keep spending assets getting reclamation projects or none established players like RyJo and Mittelstadt. The question is, who’s available out there?

Well, I’m not sure they can get a guy like that. They don’t have the cap room and they don’t have the assets. It’s likely going to be another gamble, and they gotta hope like hell they finally get this one right.

I think @Pierce Hawthorne worked out a deal with the Ducks fans before.

COL: 2025 NYR 2nd
ANA: Dumoulin @ 50% + 2025 DET 4th

That was my trade, read the thread

9:34 for Mitts tonight. Only beat Parsnip and Wood. Whatever glimmer of hope he showed recently is gone again. I don't know what the fix is, but something has to be done.

That line just isn't playing right now. Drouin (7:24) played a minute less than Mittelstadt (8:25) at 5v5, but had a crap ton of PP time (4:24) to make up for it.

Unreliable defensively and a black hole offensively. The Avs are in the same spot they were when they had Johansen.

 

[Richard88]

Mittelstadt+ for Jones $7.5m ($2m retained).

Pick(s) for Bjorkstrand ($600k retained).

Necas to 2C.

Fits under the cap:

I don’t know. There might be someone out there. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see

 

[Balthazar]

Necas to 2C.

Oh boy, that’s not gonna happen.

Hope this won’t be the new "Rantanen/Landeskog at 2C" in fictional lineups to make the money work and not having to trade for a real 2C.

Yep. People need to move on from this. Not happening. And even if they try it in a fit of desperation, it won’t work.

 

[Bensch88]

Get Casey off this team today

 

[BobRossColton]

Wonder if we're scouting Chicago for someone we could add Ritchie or Gulyayev to, to acquire our 2C?
