I checked the math on this, and with a name like Porter Martone, you have a 93% chance of being a badass.

It would probably take a 3rd party who would want Rantanen as an exchange. The money has to work somehow. And Pittsburgh has zero interest in a rental like Rantanen, they would want picks and prospects.

Pittsburgh has zero interest on that deal. If they were ever to trade Crosby, it would be a full teardown. Picks and prospects.
If Crosby said he wanted a trade to the Avs, I doubt we'd have to give up much at all. My bet is the Pens would "Make it work" for Crosby. But I'm sure we'll still be paying a 1st.

IF, and that's a HUGE IF, Crosby asked for a trade, I can guarantee you that he will go where he wants to and Pittsburg will make it work for him.
I just have a very, very hard time seeing Crosby pulling a different jersey over his head. The only caveat to that is if he wants to play beyond the two years he's got left. If he's thinking he's got an additional two to four years after that, then maybeish I could see him wanting to go somewhere more competitive.

I very much doubt the Avs make a trade until they figure out what's going on with Landeskog. As it stands right now, they'll have like 3m in cap space when Rosco is back in the line-up. So move out someone to make room, or if Landy isn't coming back, go out shopping.

But if the goalie doesn't play he provides absolutely nothing.....and we are not even discussing what we gave up for him.

Yeah I don’t know why that didn’t work, maybe anchoring him with JJ, but he just didn’t seem to fit at all.
What a brute
Norris crumpled like he was made out of paper
What a brute
Norris knew what he was doing : " I'm showing you the number on my back all this time and i know that i'm close to the board , come on i dare you to hit me "

What a brute
Was Norris sent to concussion protocol? That should be required for that kind of hit.

My post literally addresses that.
Any goalie we can reasonably obtain will have issues. Some of those issues are injury issues. Some will be healthy but inconsistent. Some will be healthy and simply not good enough. There’s no slam dunk guy out there.
The avs will have to select which “warts” they’re willing to accept if they make a move. All of them have a degree of risk.
Gentlemen, why are we not pitching a trade for David Jiricek?

I don't think we have the pieces Columbus wants unless they really like Gulyayev or Behrens.

Manson is better than Jiricek.
People should watch him play a bit more. There’s a reason one of the worst teams in the league have made him a healthy scratch a few times this year. He makes tons and tons of mistakes.
Agreed. He'd be an excellent fit and the Avs could afford to be patient with him and let him figure things out from the 3rd pairing for a couple of years until Manson leaves.
But I don't think we really have the assets to get a deal done. Unless they were really high on Goulash and wanted to keep acquiring all of the Russians lol.
