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

[Balthazar]

Was Miles Wood ever placed on LTIR? I thought they only put him on IR.

Well he’s on LTIR according to capwage

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Has to be on LTIR. Sounds like he's basically out for the rest of the season.

 

[Chiarelli]

I am willing to be a bit more patient with Mitts. He has been a bit better the last couple of games.

He also performed really well in the playoffs last year. I’d guess whatever is going on is something mental like the change of scenery/honeymoon phase of the new team being over and now him having to adjust or he’s playing through an injury. Guys don’t forget to play hockey in their prime generally

 

[The Merchant]

Mitts: 2G 11A in 33gms since Nov 1st.

I don't have any explanation, solution or prediction but this is bad.

Wait'll you take a peek at his shot totals...

I'm sure they're abysmal, but I feel his attempts the last few games have gone up.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

They have. 10 shots over the last 5 games. That’s much better than his stretch of 2 in 9 games before that.

God how I wish we could reverse last year's Byram/Mittelstadt trade and look elsewhere.

Casey Mittelstadt has become horrendous.

Maybe we can healthy scratch him a game or two, once Nuke comes back and run

Bust

 

[Alienblood]

Can't waste this season , we need a 2C

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Mitts+Ritchie+1st for some teams 1C to play as our 2C

 

[The Pwnerer]

Unless you can find a way to get a Mitts upgrade at 2C, ideally with term. My backup preference would be to get Brock Nelson as a rental and just pray Mitts turns it around.

Pettersson

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Petterson

I’ve been debating the merits of this, it would force the Avs to be even more top heavy, but if he could return to the 100 point two-way C it could be worth the risk. If he continues to play as a lame duck 2C at 11.6 the contention window is guaranteed closed

It’s also closed if Mitts has permanently turned into a pumpkin

 

[sethro109]

Pettersson

First of all, his salary is gigantic. Second of all, we shouldn't be trading one head case for another potential head case.

 

[Avs_19]

Could use a player who provides that kind of effort.

 

[dahrougem2]

No you see, if you ask J.T. Miller, Pettersson is too low in those rankings and needs to give more effort.

If Vancouver would accept Mittelstadt and one of Ritchie/Gulyayev, you make that move in a nanosecond. Hell, I'd throw in a 1st round pick if they would take Miles Wood's contract, too.

 

[The Merchant]

Can cross him off the wish list. Ain't no way he's gonna want to skate in Bednar's system

 

[The Pwnerer]

The Devils did everything I wish the Avs made in the offseason. Kovacevic and Noesan have been steals for them. Amazing value for them.

Yeah I wanted noesen instead of Wood, but we would've had to traded for him.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Pretty sure we could’ve crossed them off the list just because it’s the Avs, don’t think he’d ever play for the franchise again

 

[Pokecheque]

I think he’d do perfectly fine in Bednar’s system, but I don’t think either organization or player is itching for a reunion.

Besides, Preds ain’t trading ROR unless they’re blowing it up and they’re not doing that.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

First of all, his salary is gigantic. Second of all, we shouldn't be trading one head case for another potential head case.

It’s a huge risk, but if he can be that Selke caliber 100 point C he’s shown he can be, I think that’s our best shot

I don’t think he’s the one who’s a headcase.
