Has CNap woke up yet?

Something has to give tomorrow, we have far too many forwards, especially if Landy returns.
62-29-96
Nuke-Mitts-Drouin
20s line
Cogs-Trenin-Parise
Landy, Kovalenko, Duhaime, Kivaranta, Wagner

My guess is a goalie of some sort with a forward like LOC going out. Hopefully I'm wrong because I like LOC but very well could see it happening. Also a depth dman is possible.

Wonder if they'd consider moving Wood out. His trade protection hasn't kicked in yet and he'd probably be of interest to some teams given that he still has term.

Admittedly it's probably not likely given how much Wood and the Avs wanted a deal last summer, but with a $2.5m caphit next year maybe that's something to consider considering how many bodies they have now.

 

[Mighty Makar]

We don’t need anymore forwards, imo. I have a feeling a forward could be on his way out. We need a goalie and a depth dman.

I think Wood and Colton are important glue guys, we just signed both long-term. I'd be surprised to see Wood moved. I think his best hockey will come playoff time.

 

[hockeyfish]

I expect Landy to make an attempt at coming back in April, but obviously the team is planning a lineup that doesn't have him. If he does make it back, they will find a spot for him. If not, they have the players to fill in.

 

[Drury_Sakic]

I really don’t think they are moving any forwards, unless it’s Kiviaranta or Olofsson in a move for a 7-8-9 D man, more of an AHL deal. Or perhaps for a more faceoff focused center for the 4th line.

With Wagner and LOC injured, Kovalenko - while a seemingly perfect depth player, still being an unproven option, Lando being a complete wildcard, and the decline in Cogs game — they really do need all that depth.

Elephant in the room is Nuke as well. If the Avs don’t have valid options and plans to play without him at any random point this year they are not doing their job. Until he is a reliable option and his issues are behind him, he could be gone at any moment without warning.

I agree 100%. I just think that if there's a scenario where you're looking at a good goalie and/or LHD and the other team insists on getting an NHL player back then maybe that's the guy you offer instead of O'Connor. Realistically I don't see it happening though.

 

[Miri]

So, any other trades? Crosby when?

If they get a starting goalie you can move O'Connor out. Otherwise they don't need to do anything now.

For the Avs? I expect them to at least make calls on Buchnevich, but I would bet *IF* he gets traded, it will be Vegas. They will likely add a goaltender of some sort. Could add a depth D. And possibly a more traditional 4C.

 

[LOFIN]

We have cap space and assets. If a goalie is not available, then at least get that depth D.

Bring back Big Z actually, if that's the case. We can take on the full hit if that's our only add. I imagine Vancouver could make that move if they want to add a forward.

 

[Grackle Party]

We havent added an ex blue jacket yet

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

When you check the schedule and you have a dental cleaning booked for trade deadline day:

I want nothing to do with Z.

I firmly believe he's too stupid of a player to achieve success on a contending team.

Rumored ask for Buchnevich per Servalli is 3 1sts. So either 2 1sts + good prospect or 1 1st + 2 good prospects.

 

[LOFIN]

Maybe, and I bet you Bednar thinks that way too and wants nothing to do with him.

I just want him because I like his personality, and he seems very popular with the guys still.

 

[missionAvs]

We never played him at his natural position that he was drafted to play at, 2C.

Dude is 100% at career faceoffs.

 

[Drury_Sakic]

Phrase of the deadline “all-in”. Think by the end of the broadcasts today I might be ok with banning it.

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

Yeah, the Avs were already the highest scoring team in the league while dragging a sack of potatoes around at 2C, so I don’t think another forward is necessary.

I mean, I wouldn’t complain if they grabbed a Taffoli, but a backup G, or a depth D is more needed.

 

[Drury_Sakic]

To me if the Avs go after one of the better wingers still today somehow, that is a sign they have serious doubts about Nuke and/or Lando.

 

[chet1926]

What the hell it's 8am and we haven't traded for Crosby yet...CMac is failure.

This is obviously sarcasm.

 

[jabubenice]

You telling me if we still had Newhook here you wouldn't trade him straight up to rent Goose?

I would but CMAC and sakic would not. Their strategy when giving up a worthy asset is wanting term back on whomever they acquire

 

[hockeyfish]

Rumored ask for Buchnevich per Servalli is 3 1sts. So either 2 1sts + good prospect or 1 1st + 2 good prospects.

If rumors of St. Louis willing to retain 50% are true, a high price like that seems logical.

 

[jabubenice]

going to be f***in boring today...These broadcasting channels should demand that any trades made during the week cannot be announced until trade deadline day
