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

Trade them back for each other, cMac, you've put me through enough.

 

[myperbixhurts]

Mitts has 3 more games to show CMac that we don’t need a new 2C. That’s not a lot of games so Mitts needs to produce as a legit 2C in all 3 games. It’s either that or CMac’s mind is already made up and he’s already working on getting someone regardless of what Mitts does.

Actually scratch that. If Miller turning down a trade to Avs is true, then obviously CMac is looking for a new 2C

 

[PAZ]

CMac is obviously looking for an upgrade to Mitts. I have my doubts he'll find one this TDL.

Unless Crosby?!?!?

 

[Chiarelli]

I still think they should have taken a look at Necas for 2C. You never know, he fits this system so well… too late now tho

 

[Peter Peckerwood]

Wasn't it Miller who came out and said he doesn't like the Avs? Maybe it was BB.

I think Avs had enough of experiments. Need a sure thing

 

[Chiarelli]

I agree, but I’m not sure that guy is even available at the moment or for the assets and cap we have available.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

Still waiting for a long term solution to push Manson down the lineup.

Wood and Gulyayev and two firsts for Jones with retention.

Then in the summer Colton for a second rounder.

 

[myperbixhurts]

Yeah, I can’t think of anyone either. I’m still hoping Crosby decides to leave Pittsburgh but that still remains a pipe dream

 

[Avs_19]

It's almost unbelievable how long they've been screwing around with these Jost, Compher, Soderberg, Newhook, Kerfoot, Mittelstadt, etc types.

Don’t forget RyJo. The only player I know who had so much fun losing games

 

[PAZ]

Everyone wanted Mittlestadt. He seemed like a fairly safe option with a bit more to give. But he just isn’t a fit.

In retrospect, Hertl was probably the better option.

 

[chet1926]

Ya 5 + 4 in 8 games with the rangers, yuck, we don’t need that type of production

Seriously I could give 2 shits about his attitude, we need better players in the bottom 9. He would have been a severe upgrade and would have made us instantly a team that could have made a run.

This league is about winning, not if you like every player on our team.

Compher was good and we won the cup with him.

What has he won? Nothing. Also remember Georgiev last year. That's how a toxic player can f*** the whole team.

But it was proven many times before that teams don't win if there is division in the locker room. Not all players like each others obviously but big division is a huge problem.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Yes, as a 3C.

As a 2C, he’s a disaster.

Agreed... 26 years old, former 8th overall pick. Back to back 57+ point seasons, 18 points in the first 19 games this year.

Befuddling turn of events and so many potential reasons for the huge fall off.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Yes, as a 3C.

As a 2C, he’s a disaster.

I can't remember the exact stat, but I remember them hyping up how he was top-6 in faceoff percentage for guys that had taken a certain amount of faceoffs...well it turned out that only 6 people had taken that amount of faceoffs, and he was by far the worst of the bunch.

Edit: found it! There were 6 players that had over 1600 faceoffs in 2022-23. JTC took 1665 and had a faceoff win % of 48.8. The next worse was Crosby, who took 1846 and had a 53% win rate. What's insane is Bergeron had 1706 faceoffs and won 61.1%, that guy was so insanely good at pretty much anything defense.

The Avs really should've gone all in on Bo Horvat, his skating fits right into the team, and his faceoff abilities would've really helped

The talent is very obviously there too. Hope we get more of Thursday's version.

 

[myperbixhurts]

I’d like to have JTC right now for a 3C, but not at 5 mill. Would give him Colton’s 4 mill though

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Wednesday, dumbass.

I dont give a f*** about those 3 games... He had 60 games so far to prove it.

Time is up.

You have no clue how he would have fit in here. You can't just assume a player is going to be a problem. Seems like he's just fine in NYR.
