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

Byram - Hughes pairing?

 

[Foppa2118]

It's only a matter of time until Byram ends up in Vancouver, and we face him multiple times a year, and in the playoffs. If he doesn't get traded, he'll probably sign there as a UFA.

Context is there are still good games without shots. Games like last night, he wasn’t terrible despite a terrible looking standard stat line. People key in on the shots only and it misses other things he brings. Shot assists, passes to the slot, defensive play, etc.

Again of the top guys last night, he had the best xGF% last night. Better than Makar, MacK, Rants, etc. He was good against Utah and spectacular vs Detroit. It has been enough or consistent, but people make it sounds like last night was terrible and the last 10 games were all bad (they’ve been mostly bad)… which is just not the case.

Uh, that isn't what happened. The shot numbers were brought up as a piece of the pie. You brought up attempts/chances because of some supposed missing context.

Now you're pivoting and saying the missing context you were really talking about is a bunch of other mumbo jumbo. Sure thing. Happy that's cleared up.

Does Buffalo have a 3C and we can send them Colton or Wood to be up their roster?

They already traded us their 3C for Byram

They traded for McLeod this offseason, he’s not really someone the Avs want.

Besides, that’s not the center Buffalo wants to get rid of…

This place missed your "may no post go unchallenged" and "no hill is too small to die on" philosophies. Welcome back!

I set this up perfectly haha.

 

[Alienblood]

I set this up perfectly haha.

I do think the Avs will go on a run and catch the Central teams ahead.

Like the Blackwood move, he's the goalie I was hoping for.

 

[BobRossColton]

How about Morgan Geekie out of Boston? I've no idea how he's been this season though

 

[Murzu]

Oh cmon. Our players don't simply suck and would in unemployed in most of the other teams in the league. That's just unrealistic expectations regarding the roster IMO. Kiviranta is just fine when he is a 4th line winger for example.

What we are really missing is a real 3C. That would put a lot names to right places in the roster. Kelly/Ivan are passableish 4C's/4W's but nothing more. LOC and especially Wood should be 4th liners, but that's more of an expectation to have after the TDL. If they're both playing 3rd line we're not going anywhere in the playoffs.

I don't see anyone on NYR or Buffalo worth prying to help our club.

My ultimate dream wishlist is to acquire Gourde and Tanev from Seattle, then a 4/5 LHD to play with Malinski and boot CDH to the moon.

Cap wise, so long as all three of those players came 50% retained and the Avs were sending Kylington away in one of the deals they'd be cap compliant and could bring Miles Wood back, too. That is according to PuckPedia.

Just imagine

Drouin - MacKinnon - Rantanen
Lehkonen - Mittelstadt - Nichushkin
Colton - Gourde - Tanev
Wood - Kelly - O'Connor

F*** it, CMac. F*** them picks and f*** them prospects. Make it happen. I want another cup.
