Donato is the guy I want I think. Don't expect him to cost a bunch but I think he could really have an impact.

Something like 2025 2nd + Curran maybe.

Gives you a lot of lineup options in the Top 9 then since he can play both C and Wing.

I'm not touching any player outside of maybe ROR that is in the fifty percentile or below across the board in these stats.

It’ll be fine once we play tomorrow night, Crosby plays us tomorrow and the boys are told to go easy on him and it’s announced 30 seconds by Crosby shooting a puck into his own empty net and rips off his Pens jersey to reveal an Avs jersey

Then he crotch chops Mike Sullivan

 

[Ararana]

Getting the entire arena to chant "CROSBY CROSBY" isn't going to hurt anything...

 

[Avsfan1921]

So…. I snuck over to hfoil to see what they were pining for in goal. And I came across someone seriously suggesting Kane for Rantanen….. LOL.

Pull the f***ing trigger already, which team is hinging their playoff success on a healthy Reilly Smith?

 

[JLo217]

CMac always strikes at the worst planned times, and when you won't expect it. So not business hours, and not anything anyone will see coming lol

Marchand:

I was so tempted to take Brad Marchand off my trade board because he’s hurt and not expected to play again until after the deadline. He publicly remains adamant that he wants to remain a Bruin, but I keep hearing teams like Vegas and Colorado won’t go away.

Marchand, who doesn't have a complete no-trade clause, has made it clear around the league he doesn't want to be traded. Boston also has made it clear that if he does open up to the possibility of being traded, the 36-year-old winger will return GM Don Sweeney some much-needed assets back. This could also leave the door open to Marchand re-signing with the Bruins again in the off-season as a free agent.

Mittelstadt:

Colorado got the weekend off and play again on Tuesday at home to Pittsburgh and Thursday against San Jose before the trade deadline. The Avs have already traded for Martin Necas and Jack Drury earlier this season, then acquired defenceman Ryan Lindgren from the Rangers over the weekend, but may not be done yet.

Colorado has $3.286 million in projected deadline day cap space, per PuckPedia, but may also explore moving Casey Mittelstadt one year after acquiring him from the Sabres. Mittelstadt, a 26-year-old centre, makes $5.75 million on the cap for another two seasons, but hasn't been the seamless answer as Colorado's second line pivot, a role they've been trying to fill since Nazem Kadri left in free agency.

It's an area Avs GM Chris MacFarland may still be looking to address by Friday.

Marchand:



Mittelstadt:

Interesting that Marchand note considering he didn't really connect any teams with any of the other players.

Marchand, Crosby just went to Colorado.

Will you waive? Yes

 

[Balthazar]

Marchand looks completely cooked but perhaps he has one more playoff run in him. Don't know what to think. I'd rather spend our first pick on someone we'd have the chance to re-up. Also not on a winger.

 

[davalanche96]

If Necas go 2C , Tuch could be a good option on the RW side to MacKinnon ?

 

[CobraAcesS]

As a 3RW? Yea he should

He's lost a step for sure, but is still really effective.

Not this season. Meh in Boston and bad at the 4 nation tournament.

If you want more leaders, like him or not, he is definitely that.

 

[Balthazar]

I don't think you trade for him and then play him on the bottom 6. That's another reason why I don't want to spend assets on a winger, we already have our top 6.

If you want more leaders, like him or not, he is definitely that.

That I agree with.

 

[CobraAcesS]

Not this season. Sucked in Boston, sucked in the 4 nation tournament.

Drury is going to be carrying around Landeskog and Marchand in the playoffs lol. Thank god that kid can skate and has LOC/Calvert work ethic.

Statistically he is basically the same player this year as he was last year.

That I agree with.

He plays with enough jam to fill that spot, but I do agree with prioritizing center.

I'm guessing you'd rather have Gourde?

I'm aware you like Evans but I don't know if they pay up for him.

 

[Balthazar]

Stats aren't telling the truth.

But if we can't have a center or a RD then I'm OK with Marchand.

He plays with enough jam to fill that spot, but I do agree with prioritizing center.

I'm guessing you'd rather have Gourde?

I'm aware you like Evans but I don't know if they pay up for him.

Since it looks like we won't be able to upgrade Mitts at 2C then yeah Gourde or any other 3C that can help at 2C if need be.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Marchand can plug and play any of the 8 wing spots which makes him valueable. He’s also really good defending leads. Great defensive stick, doesn’t give up on plays. Plus you can’t teach his “been there before” presence.

I’d love him, depending on the cost.
