Rumor: 2024-2025 Trade Rumors and Free Agency Talk | The Slow Crawl to the Season

[Bender]

I don't get the hate for Parker. I certainly would not understand much love being thrown his way but the Avs games I've watched so far this season (all of them so far!!) I've not walked away thinking the difference was that bum Parker.

I certainly hate him being our third line center but that's not his fault. He was brought in to be a 4th liner and see if he could convert back to C. I think he's done okayish for that. It's tough to really say because he's getting overplayed because of injuries. He's averaging over 14 minutes a night and leading the team in TOI for PK. I think the hate for him may be usage related. I'd like to see him on the 4th line with 4th line wingers playing against 4th line competition before completely writing him off.

Agree with you 100%.

I think last game (or the game before - can't remember) was his worst but apart from that for what he's being asked to do, he's been fine. It's not like he's solely responsible for goals against every night or anything.

In an ideal world, he'd be on the 4th line and the Avs would stop trying to convert wingers into centermen. Maybe they could find some guys that can WIN A f***ING FACEOFF in the process!!

Yeah Kelly Parker has been fine. Or is it Parker Kelly? He’s a decent 4th liner

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Avs should trade for Marcel Marcel

 

[Richard88]

Well lundestrom and Gibson @50% is 4.7ish

I meant more how do you fit all of that in, with Lamdeskog, Nuke, etc.... Gonna take some manoeuvres

[Bill Peckerskull]

It's the new backloaded deal

Would we even want to fit that in?

Folks keep saying Gibson needs a change of scenerey...he's needed it for about 4 seasons now. I'm not sure he's any better than Juicy at this point and that's just a hell of a lot of juggling for not a sure thing. I mean if Juicy hadn't insulted Bednar's dog, there's no guarantee that Gibson would actually be the starter here.

Uh what? Did I miss something?

You might be ignoring some folks. There have been folks wanting Gibson for quite some time on this board. @Richard88 was responding to someone talking about Lundestrom and Gibson @50% being 4.7ish.

My comment was about Gibson alone. I don't think he is the answer...in fact, I think Justus might be the better of the two. It's been four years since the dude has given a shit. I can't see him all of sudden caring anymore. I'd rather stay as far from Gibson as possible.

 

[AvsFan4]

So Georgiev is on waivers tomorrow right?

I'm starting to warm up to the idea of Gibson, maybe it has to do with Blackwood's numbers lately (though I can't blame him).

Gibson easily has the highest ceiling of any goalie available. He also has a calm demeanor and shown he can perform in big moments. Mind you, that was a long time ago now, but the ability is still there. I can't blame the dude for not giving a shit for playing on a bottom team while living in sunny California cashing checks.

I think a trade to the Avs would spark him quite a bit. I trust Justus to be reliable in the regular season, but if last night showed anything it's that he can still lose his confidence if things start to go a little sideways. We need a goalie in the playoffs with a short memory. I don't like the length of Gibson's contract, but at 50% worst case we can always retain on it again if needed and move it fairly easily. I think a trade of Georgiev + something for Gibson @50% makes a ton of sense. Gibson's age/personality just fits this team better than any other goalie out there.

Bonus if we get a 4C out of the deal or something else of use - maybe we can grab one of their many young players that's being blocked from a shot at the roster.

I still think the Avs could do the right thing and just LTIR him. Call it a mental injury, pay the man to go home and just stay out of sight.

 

[BobRossColton]

How's Marcus Petterson? And would he be a good partner for Malinski? If we traded out G

Toews Makar
Petterson Malinski
Ludvig Manson
CDH

Are we trading G for Petterson? I'm confused.

 

[Hasbro]

I'm still for trying to get a Fowler Gibson package.

There's no need for Fowler and he's too pricey. Honestly our D is just fine right now, just wait 2 weeks until we have 3 top-6 forwards back.

For another middle six energy guy?

6’2”!

Shame Bol Bol never caught on with the Nuggets.

One of the local Mexican grills could have had the Bol Bol Bowl.

Would any of trade Mikko for Caufield? Would Montreal?

Drouin Nate Nuke
Lehky mitts Caufield

What else is Montreal adding?

Rants + Ritchie to Sens for Tkachuk. Balance the cap as needed.

 

[BobRossColton]

Not too sure, I was mainly curious, how would Caufield fit into the dynamics of the team. I pretty much only know he scores goals and is already locked into long-term deal.

One of Struble, Guhle, mailloux, reinbacher?

 

[BobRossColton]

Rants + Ritchie to Sens for Tkachuk. Balance the cap as needed.

Would both Ottawa and Montreal be one of his 9 teams though..?

We can probably tell Rants that Ottawa is in Florida and we're good to go.

I think it's more that you can tell Rants that Ottawa is totally okay with bullshit effort. It's a retirement home, relax.
