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

[expatriatedtexan]

Do not want to spend assets on a defensemen who is struggling to get into the lineup over a 37 year Jack Johnson.

I honestly would rather have JMFJ back to pair with Malinski.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Jiricek is too slow for this team anyway

 

[Cousin Eddie]

if the Habs look to cash in on Matheson while his value’s at his highest what does he cost? Better yet what does a Matheson + Jake Evans package cost? Ritchie ++?

His caphit is a bit high, who would we send out, even if he's @ 50%?

My God this team has enough defensive lapses as is, you want to go and get Matheson?

 

[Balthazar]

We don't need Matheson.

Jake Evans yes of course but they have to re-up him...he's their only reliable center outside of Suzuki. He started the season on the 4th line and he's now on their 2nd line.

Matheson is the last thing we need. What we need is a calvin de haan in his prime years.

Just do

M. Pettersson at 50% for Kylington + picks/prospects
J. Evans for picks/prospects

Drouin - Mack - Lehky
Nuke - Mitts - Moose
RosCo - Evans - LOC
Wood - Kelly - Kova
Kivi

Makar - Toews
G - Manson
Petterson - Malinski
CDH/Ludvig

If the Avs want to trade for valuable players, said picks/prospects are going to need to be valuable in return.

What readily available picks/prospects do people think are so valuable, that they're going to return players like Petterson or Crosby? Especially with retention?!?


Public service announcement: The Avs have no 1st or 3rd round picks in the upcoming 2025 draft.

I mean.... They have a 2nd. A 2025 2nd would get either of those deals you quoted above.

They also do have 2026 and 2027 1sts. They have more then enough assets to pull off the deals you quoted above. Easily.


And as for Crosby, if he were to get traded(Which I think we all know is a 1% probability of happening), he's only getting traded to one single destination, Colorado. We're not about to bid against ourselves at that point. He'll fetch a decent return but its not gonna be nearly as much as most people think.


Something like Ritchie + 2026 1st would be a reasonable base.

Wood for Kakko

Avs had previously shown interest in Kreider, wonder if they revisit that route if it's clear Landy isn't coming back.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Both of those overpaid donkeys have 15 team no-trade clauses, so that should be interesting.

$6.5m AAV for Kreider is criminal behavior.

His 33 year old body is close to falling apart.

 

[Avs_19]

I'll take that Igor guy.

 

[BobRossColton]

Schneider or k'andre Miller

 

[Frenchy]

I'll take that Igor guy.

wonder if they are dumb enough to take Georgiev back ?

While that is logical, we also know the Avs have historically found a way to get their guy, even if that's well past their prime.

That was also before Drouin arrived and before trading for Mittelstadt.

The top 6 is full. Lehkonen isn't dropping down to the 3rd line.

I would have to imagine that a $6m+ forward is one of the last things the Avs would target, unless it was Crosby who would be a unique case where we're the only suitor.

Not disagreeing with you at all, just tossing a name out there. Plus, this teams management doesn't always do the logical thing.

Probably not... But Lehky on the 3rd line would be a matchup nightmare.
