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

[PAZ]

David Jiricek For calum Ritchie who adds?

Avs by a lot, simply because the last thing Columbus needs is another one-dimensional skilled forward.

Not that I'm advocating for trading Ritchie for another prospect but in no world to the Avs add "by a lot" for a defenseman who hasn't been able to hold down a regular defensive role for 3 seasons since being drafted on Columbus of all teams.

Value-wise sure. In reality there's no way Columbus would consider Jiricek for Ritchie without a significant plus.

Wish there was a way for the Avs to land Logan Thompson.

The last thing the Avs need is a slow and soft defensemen.

There was, in the off-season, it would've needed to be a 3-team trade since I doubt the Knights would've traded him to Colorado directly. I think the Caps will sign him long-term now though.

Guys, did anyone else here heard that Blackwood might be traded from Sharks to Avs? Is he any good?

Friedman and others have said the Avs have shown interest so there's definite smoke. But I dunno...I'm very, very skeptical, and have been pretty obvious about it. He's extremely injury-prone and while he's capable of a 50-save shutout on some nights, he's also very capable of letting in 5 goals on 8 shots on others. I suppose though that times are desperate and the Avs need to do something, ANYTHING, right now.

I feel like if Blackwood was their main target, they would have already done it. They may still go after him, but I think it would be more as a fallback option.

Sharks recalled their goalie prodigy Askarov….hmmm

Nichushkin still being 'inactive' on Cap Wages - makes me sad.

That seems like a perfect fit for the Avs if you ask me.

On the Internet.

Yeah, Varly was injury prone and we did not resign him because we were worried that he might get another hip injury but here he is still playing. Georgie seems to be pretty healthy with Avs but very inconstant in net giving up goals that he should have saved and costing us games.

Varly was our most consistent goaler since Roy.
