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

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Who would you target with a 1st and goulash?

Not sure cause I dont really know who's available.

In terms of UFAs... Brock Nelson would be one guy I'd have a high amount of interest in.

Scott Laughton would be a really interesting one actually that I'd probably move a 1st + Goulash for. His $3M would be very affordable for 3C and allow Colton to shift permanently to the wing.



On the Defensive side... Honestly, a lot harder to find decent fits, mostly because I think what the Avs probably need doesn't necessarily constitute that big of a package... More like one of those assets + a smaller piece.


But in theory I would love to grab Mario Ferraro if he is available for like Goulash + 2025 2nd or something. Someone who can play 3LD but also jump up into the Top 4 if needed, and ideally with a little term on the deal.

What's your thoughts on dellandrea?
How about zamula?

I just don't see Philly trading with us after the ryjo debacle.

Laughton is even less a center than Colton.

 

[Perratrooper]

Mitts+ for JT Miller?

 

[Alienblood]

Mitts+ for JT Miller?

Hell Mitts+ for JT Compher

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Laughton is even less a center than Colton.

Not even close to accurate...


Edit: He's averaged 1000 Faceoffs per 82 games for the last 3 years now. He is very much a Center.

 

[AvsCOL]

Pretty unbelievable how much Mittelstadt has regressed since the beginning of the year. Every part of his game is awful right now. He's not shooting at all either. Obviously this team believed he could be the long term play at 2C, but I have to imagine they're having some doubts right now.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Mitts+ for JT Miller?

Would have to be a big +.

 

[Vaslof]

I don't see a reason to replace Mitts just because of a slump. Even MacKinnon and Makar have had slumps this year. Kinda feels like people always want to have one player to put all the blame on.

Sharks fans are ready to move Ferraro for 2nd rounder. He'd be a good target.

This is exactly what differentiates a low end 1C from a high end 2C. Consistency and points generation. Mitts being a 60 pt #2C who is solid at both ends of the rink is exactly what this team needs.

Now you could possibly be arguing his slump is his normal and earlier was a hot streak. But there's no evidence to that argument yet.

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

Haha fire Bednar, trade Mittelstadt. Never change HFAvs. Possibly the most fickle spot on the Internet most susceptible to recency bias I have ever encountered.

not sure they believed he only got a 3 year deal

He isn't good at both ends though , he is terrible defensively.

He hit 59 points 1 time and was long considered a bust

You forgot 4 giev and Annunen.

59 and 57 points two years running. On a 57 point pace this season.
