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

[CobraAcesS]

I would do bad thing to get Alex Tuch on the Avs

Lehkonen - Mack - Necas
Drouin - Mitts - Nuke
Landeskog - Drury - Tuch
Colton - Kelly - Kiviranta

Who has more points in the playoffs, Mitts or Drury lol?

Drouin - Mitts - Nuke
Landeskog - Drury - Tuch
Colton - Kelly - Kiviranta

Can Tuch play center?

Without any retention Zibby probably has negative value right now. Dude fell off a cliff at age 30 and is one of the main reason why the Rags are where they are today.

He probably needs change of scenery

I think he needs to go back to 27 years old.

That's everyone on that teams excuse lol.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Hard pass for me then, unless we need another top 6 winger because Nuke f***ed up and is terminated. Otherwise we don’t need wingers

We could use a 3rd line RW, unless you enjoy watching Kiviranta on the 3rd line.

If we aren’t acquiring a center or D, we have $4m to use for a 3rd line winger.

 

[CobraAcesS]

Yeah, at least the change of scenery player we got from them is a UFA, and 27 lol.

I'd lock in with Kadri, but no way on Zbad.

 

[Valushkin]

ok well, I’m running out of ideas

 

[CobraAcesS]

It would be interesting insurance for Landeskog possibly not returning, Nuke (f*** me), and inevitably moving Colton in the off season.

Lawson Crouse makes $4.3m per season.

Just saying.

That'd be a really bad decision to spend that money on the wing.

Mack
Mitts
Drury
Kelly/Vesey

You're not winning any cup with that

The more I think about it, the more I think we should just add a center between Mitts and Drury.

Mack
Mitts
Evans/Gourde
Drury

Now all of a sudden this looks a lot better

Yeah that’s why I’m saying if we aren’t acquiring a center or a D.

2C/3C
2RD
3RW

The priorities should be in that order, but no point finishing the deadline with cap space left. Spend it on one of those spots.

40 divided by 3 is 13.33

Yeah, I'd not move Cmac to a 1 if that was the final move.

A top four RD is a bigger need as I have explained. Especially over a 3c. Whatever they do though the last hopefully big piece they get has to have some team control to it. I like Evan’s though.
And the 3rw could be a fairly cheap piece

 

[lionsDen]

I mean it’s probably all fantasy Ryan donato for a second and Ivan Ivan Sean behrens and wood probably a small over pay Sean durzi calum Ritchie,a 2026 1st rounder and a future 2nd for 1million retained.

That would give us two runs at the least and focus on seeing what mitts can be dealt for

I have no idea what we're getting here

 

[NOTENOUGHRYANTHINGS]

The voices in my head aren't considered a reliable source on the main boards but I'm told that Ritchie is in play for a player signed for at least next season. Someone like Tuch.

The Avs would like retention but won't ask for it. Which sounds weird but Cmac is playing some mind games.

I don’t think Utah want to trade Durzi.

They signed him to the long-term contract and then he got hurt, has missed most of the season. Only 26 and a key piece for them.

I really like the player, though. Would be a solid pickup.

 

[Balthazar]

No and it's not even close dude. A 3C like Evans or Gourde can be slotted at 2C if/when need be. You need center depth to win in the playoffs.

Besides, we already have Makar and Manson in the top 4 RD, that's good enough.

Adding a middle 6 center wouldn't be such a top priority if Colton and Mitts wouldn't suck balls, but they do and that's the 2 guys that we traded for to do that job.
