Gonna get my hopes up yet again that we can get Seth Jones only for him to get traded to Dallas. They have a lot more ammunition to use then us. Rinse and repeat the pain cycle.

Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
They don't have the cap room going forward we do though (although temporary but the cap is rising fast), and his father lives in Denver.
I don't like Saravalli but he did make the point Dallas would have a hard time fitting him in after this year. Can't confirm because the Caps are dick holsters.
f*** off Dallas

They have more of a need an tons of potential LTIR space for this year. So I wouldn't be surprised to see us outbid by Dallas.
I'm almost 100% sure Heisk won't be back during the regular season. That's their cap space there.

Not sure.
Dallas has 70M committed to next year. So they have tons of flexibility on where they want to go. They have several UFAs and RFAs also. Johnston and Bourque are the only only notable RFAs.
As UFAs, they have Benn, Granlund, Duchene and Dadonov as notables. They can easily walk away from most of these guys.
I'd take Jones at full cap hit if they just took Wood back.

You know you're used to Vegas cap shenanigans that you're not even looking at their cap space if they could bring Rantanen you just know they can

Dallas will get Mikko and Seth. And Duchene will do another stupid goal celebration in our faces. That will hurt.
Next year is the issue, apparently and may be why 6 to 6.5 is the retention numbers being thrown out.
So Savioli is stupid as usual. That's what I get lol.

Just do something soon CMac. We need another middle 6 C (possibly a 2C depending what we do with Mittelstadt). Possibly a 3C if we want Drury on the 4th and Kelly can shift to wing. A #3/4 D, and a bottom pairing guy. Like we need AT LEAST 3 of these things to be serious. I’m excited at the cap going up and the free agent possibilities for next year but we just can’t keep wasting years of 8 and 29.

I don't see see where my reading comprehension failed. Bud, you literally said you don't blame them and then you say the blame falls on them.

Not necessarily. Nill has said that re-signing Benn is a priority. He and Duchene will cost upwards of $12-$13M combined. Johnston is going to go from $895k to $7-$8M. Bourque and Lundqvist will cost upwards of $2M each, and their buyout of Suter jumps to $1.433M next year. All that right there gets them very close to the cap.
However, it's the following year (2026) when Robertson, Marchment, and Harley will be due for significant raises where Jones's deal becomes problematic for them.
Now they can probably cut some dead weight (like Dumbo and Lyubushkin), not resign Duchene, and probably make it work, but Frank isn't technically wrong that it would be hard for Dallas to fit him in for the next 5 years.

Unfortunate reality of being an Avs fan.
Don’t worry though, David Savard will look perfectly mediocre in an Avs uniform

Watched Chicago/Utah last night. Wow, is Chicago a full on dumpter fire. Shot attempts were 93-39. Kind of hard to evaluate Jones with that, but he did have a few shot blocks and scored the lone goal. But at the same time, looked pretty checked out of the game. I do think getting him out of that situation will help, but at the same time, he is part of that problem.
Crouse had a great game. He took a hard shot off the ankle midway through the game and was shown limping into the dressing room. But he still managed to score a nice backhanded goal driving the net. The dude is a warrior and a leader. I think a lot of his lack of production this year is being pushed down the lineup. That will still be the case in Colorado, but I think he would really help solidify our 3rd line.
I've mentioned Marino a few times before. He isn't a great skater, but he gets around well enough. He's really solid all around the ice and does well getting the puck out of the zone. I don't think he would be available, but if so, he would be an ideal target.
Hayton was fun to watch. Good motor and a good 1st step. He plays the goal front position on the power play and didn't seem to mind taking abuse there. It shows as he has 62 shots from the high danger zone this year (compared to Mitts 76 from all areas). He shot wasn't all that impressive, but half of scoring is getting yourself in a position to score. He's only 24 and I think there is more to his game to unlock. Like Marino, I doubt he is available, but if so, I'd be pushing hard to get him

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, who the f*** wants to live in Texas?
NHL rumblings: Utah’s trade deadline plans, plus the latest on Ivan Provorov, Seth Jones and more
Also, what the Kings are looking for at the deadline and what we're hearing on Yanni Gourde and Jake Evans.www.nytimes.com
This, plus the comments in there from Utah's GM... It's not a ringing endorsement for many moves being made this year.
And if you needed an idea where Jones wants to go...
Yeah, the trance songs I listen to are normally for driving.
What are your lots thoughts concerning BigBaller Q available for that 2nd line centre role? I understand he probably doesn't make it as a centre, but his strengths are definitely more pro-Avs style than Mittelstadt. Definitely more worth the risk than Zegras or somebody else in the same category.

Oh, yeah. Saw he was potentially available. Don't see how a deal could be put together, but yeah, I'd want the guy.
