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

[hockeyfish]

Yesss! Suck it @RoyIsALegend! Casual Avs fan.

Looking up stats after a game in Feburary 1997..

 

[John Mandalorian]

Am I having a stroke or are you all just making up names.

Do you ever assume someone is slipping in a cpu generated player name just to see if anyone will notice?

 

[hockeyfish]

How the f*** did the Avs end up with f***ing Daigle at that time.

 

[The Moops]

You don't remember future franchise goalie Vitaly Kolesnik?

That haircut was so bad

Next thing you'll be pining for made up names like Antti Laaksonen.

Loved his game so much

Probably Sylvain Lefebvre!

As a child I don't remember him being that low in the rotation. Actually I can only remember Foote, Ozo, and Lefebvre from that year.

That sounds like something Sami Helenius would say.

 

[Richard88]

Crazy to think, there was a time when Bennett could have been had for very little. And Zacha could have been had for a song.

Plenty of top 6 C's have changed teams recently. The Avs simply chose to be cheap with half measures after Kadri.

Eichel was available. JT Miller was twice available. Trocheck was available. Zacha. Kadri. Pinto. Dubois. Horvat. Lindholm. Hayes. Stephenson. Danault. Bennett. O'Reilly. Mittelstadt. Hertl. Gourde. Monahan. Giroux. Copp. Granlund. Domi.

You just can’t make it obvious. That’s too believable. But something like Tadahito Kuhlschrank is too obvious the other way.

 

[Richard88]

Is nobody else more intrigued about Zibanejad?

Looks to me like he's just having a down year, with lower ice time (1-2mins less than the last two years); and a career low 8.8% shooting %. Maybe he's been mailing it in a little bit but NYR have been an absolute circus behind the scenes this year which has probably contributed somewhat to that.

The Avs love to target players with some playoff experience and he definitely ticks that box, being almost PPG in his career in the playoffs:

The biggest two hurdles are probably his full NMC, as well as the fact that his contract is heavy in salary bonuses which is something the Avs historically avoided until recently with the Landeskog and Nichushkin deals.

 

[AvalancheSpeedsters]

Better than playing 4 games of softball with Jeff FInger.

You guys sound like very sauer individuals . Yelle it out you’ll feel better . .

Next thing you'll be pining for made up names like Antti Laaksonen.

Or Anders Myrvold

You darn Tyutin!

 

[expatriatedtexan]

You darn Tyutin!

Gotta admit. That was pretty Suave.

Richard over here trying his best to just find someone to talk about trade candidates with amidst this conversation.

 

[AvalancheSpeedsters]

Agreed . Pretty Cool-eshov (Kuleshov)

 

[Richard88]

You guys Worrell too much about our chances this season

It might not be my first choice but it’s something I would consider.

Zibanejad adores NYC. He will never waive.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Zibby isn't really being offered though... and that is exactly the type of move I expect CMac to ulitmately make. Not Zibby, but someone nobody is talking about. I've got no idea who it might be, but I'm pretty sure I'll be surprised when it first breaks.

Hope my heart can take the return of... you guessed it... Alex Kerfoot.

 

[Muffin]

Guys remember our top line was Wolski Arnason and Svatos?

 

[Foppa2118]

We just need a Lilja more injury luck.

IOW, we’ve incompetent boobs in charge.

Ugh! That’s like the F equivalent of Nemeth. Can we dare not speak their names again?

The future looks Bleackley for this team.

That one works without the pun.

Nah, we are going to Nuke the competition

 

[Gatorbait19]

Nah, we are going to Nuke the competition

Would the turn everything into a Deadmarsh?

 

[Richard88]

Nah, we are going to Nuke the competition

Or in other words, we're gonna Skoula them. And then we'll step onto the Podein and collect our Parise

 

[Gumballhead]

He was the first opposing depth player I wished we had that we actually got. Really liked his game.
