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

[Balthazar]

Wedgewood is signed for 2 years so we don’t have to worry about him, but I wonder how much we gonna give Blackwood or how much can we give him? If last night’s game is an indication how he’s gonna play for us, it might be tough to re-sign him for cheap. How much can we realistically afford to pay him?

He's not going to be cheap but CMac knew the numbers before the trade since Grier knows how much Blackwood wants and this is one reason why he traded him. With that said, CMac said that they intend to keep him long term so...

He's 28, going to be UFA and wants term and higher AAV.

My guess is ~4.5M AAV with a term of 4 or 5 years. The Wood/Wood tandem should cost ~2M more than Justus/Georgiev.

Joey Daccord extended with Seattle for $5x5 in October.

Not a perfect comp, but he and Blackwood are both 28-year-old starting goalies who're peaking now after not having the longest/greatest track records.

For the season

That’s just with us though right?

They're either betting on Landeskog only returning for a playoff run, or know one or both of Colton and Manson are going to be traded if they're already penciling in his extension.

Trade Colton, keep Drouin for cheaper is going to be one move I could see. Manson also likely moves.

I don't get it though, the NHL app shows he has a 2.77 and .904 for the season. 10 GP

That's 5 GP, 2 wins 3 losses one shutout. It's a mistake on their part I think lol. Click on his name.

Edit.. 3 wins 2 losses

Natural Stat Trick says he's got a 2.44 GAA and a .918 SV%. They're showing 10 games played between both NSH and COL for a combined TOI of 417:18.

I wonder why there are such difference between sites. I was using "All Strengths" from the filters.

Sports net is using only our games played.


I'd believe NST over NHL.com though lol.

No chance it doesn't start with a 5. Imagine his agent will shoot for 6 and they'll land somewhere in the $5.25mil neighborhood on something like 4 years. Avs probably don't want to go too short or too long here.

What does NST have for Blackwood?

If he plays like this all year I could see them giving him 8 years, and making him part of the core in order to get the AAV down.

4.5 x 8 front loaded aF

Our needs for a low AAV, and his need for stability/injury history are a perfect match.

NHL.com and even Hockey-Reference are definitive sources.

Wedgewood has given up 25 goals this season in 10 games (8 starts). That ain't a 1.92 GAA, folks.

It's just with us, it shows it if you click on his name on Sportsnet.

Blackwood's played 20 games betwen SJ and COL for a total of 1118:33. He's sporting a .911 SV% and a 2.95 GAA. [All Strengths] of course.


[edit...the more encouraging stat... Wedgewood hosts an .885 HDSV% and Blackwood hosts an .847. This is good for #8 and #20 overall in the league with no filters as to GPs or TOI. If limited to 500 minutes TOI they'd be #1 and #9 overall. For sample size Wedgewood has faced 61 HD Shots against and Blackwood has faced 137.]

Here's hoping it just gets better and better

Colton is going to be interesting. If he scores 25+ goals this year, the team may just leave the situation be. But they (reportedly) tried to trade him in the summer and now would be the time to sell high. His Full-NTC becomes modified on July 1st.

I think Miles Wood is gone. He doesn't give a ton of relief at only $2.5M, but he fits in this team about as well as I fit into my jeans from three years ago. I don't think there's any question that Kiviranta is a better player.

You'd think it'd be impossible to move Wood with four years left. But San Jose willingly took on a completely finished Goodrow ($3.64x3), and Anaheim paid to take on Trouba ($8x2). There are other examples, but the point is I don't think Colorado is stuck with him.

Ooooh, top 5 tandem if that keeps up. That combined with being #6 in GF would be a potent mix.

Out of curiosity...where did you get the NTC details for RosCo? On CapWages it says M-NTC details to be determined. *LOL* CapWages is basically aliexpress capfriendly.

Changes are definitely coming with a starter to pay, Mikko to pay, and you know they'll want to find a way to keep Drouin.

I like Wood more than most, but yeah, you move him this off season if you can and give his money to Drouin and Blackwood.
