Hilarious JT would've squashed a trade to Colorado tho. Guy must really not like being second fiddle.

I don’t think JT Miller turned it down because he would have been playing behind MacKinnon.

He said no because he wanted to be in the East, specifically New York, and most players don’t want to live in Colorado. Period.

Aren't the Avs the team that travels the most miles every season? That alone is a big turn off for many players.
 
Yeah, it’s doesn’t really make sense the way that Lavoie is insinuating.

He’s making it seem like the Rantanen deal was made BECAUSE they thought the JT Miller trade was done. First, that’s weird. Why would CMac even engage in trade talks before knowing if JTM would even waive for Colorado. Waiving agreement is literally the first step.

Secondly, honestly, both trades alone make sense. Neither one nor the other would’ve been needed for the other trade to make sense

Your third paragraph doesn’t contradict your second paragraph?

Paragraph 2: Why would he do one without the other?

Paragraph 3: They’re not dependent on each other.
 
Bissonette, Yandle and Whitney are doing this Amazon Coast to Coast thing tonight. They were talking about Sid ever moving on from Pittsburgh. Whitney says he heard from people close to the situation that they think he’ll never leave Pittsburgh. Biz has been joking about Crosby to the Avs forever and trying to make it come to fruition but he then legit said he’s heard that since the 4 Nations he’s a little more receptive to the idea.

Paragraph 2 is what Lavoie is insinuating. I disagree with it. To me, trading Rantanen for the Carolina package by itself, makes sense. At the same time, trading for JTM, by itself IMO, makes sense.

Paragraph 3 is my opinion that the deals have no reason to be dependant on each other. Each deal, alone, imo makes sense to do.

OK. Thanks for explaining yourself.

No no no no no no. I will not even entertain it in my mind.
 
Wow. And it's from Lavoie so you know it's true. The Avs had a deal in place for JT Miller when they traded Rants but Miller blocked the trade.

Perhaps Cmac told Cale, Toews, Nate and Lehky that they tried hard to get JTM but he turned them down.

Ismo Lehkonen is Lavoie’s mole confirmed.
