GDT: 2025 Trade Deadline | Y’all Got Anymore of Them Trades?

He's never been the best skater and I wonder if his smarts would still allow him to fill that void if only for this playoff run.

If you're doing that, then I think you have to keep Mitts and hope he regains his form. Bednar could alternate those guys between #2C and #3C depending on who's playing better.

If Mitts regains his form then you have a #2C and #3C for the next 2 years as well.

Still, I wonder if ROR would even agree to come back here or if Avs management would be keen on bringing him back. It's been a long time but sometimes these things can run deep.

If Soda worked under Bednar, so could ROR.

Did it though?

People keep playing with my emotions by bringing up Crosby to Avs. EJ Hradek is doing it right now on NHL network

Its not happening

 

[avalanche_country]

F it, get Kadri and ROR back.

I’m sure Kadri is sick of not playing in the playoffs. I know they said they won’t move him but that was awhile ago.

What we’re hearing about every NHL team heading into deadline week

With Friday’s 3 p.m. ET finish line coming into view, here's how each NHL team is approaching trade-deadline week.

www.nytimes.com

Nashville Predators
A brutally disappointing season has left Nashville in an awkward spot at this deadline. This is not a rebuild — at least not yet — so GM Barry Trotz isn’t conducting a fire sale of veterans after already moving out rental Gustav Nyquist. The Predators are listening on center Ryan O’Reilly but need to get a promising young player back in return in order to be compelled to pull the trigger on a reliable veteran with term. Trotz is more than happy to keep him. It sounds like nothing has advanced beyond tire-kicking on the former Conn Smythe Trophy winner as a result.

We definitely have the pieces be it Mitts or Ritchie.

I’m definitely one of the more pro-Cmac posters here, but if we trade a young asset of Ritchies calibre for fricking o’reilly I’d be on the “FireHisAss” train so fast lol.

For a better player or at least one thats an upgrade that isn’t 100 years old, I get it. But o’reily ain’t it.

Thankfully I think that never happens.

The entire world wants it to happen but Crosby and Pittsburgh fans.

 

[Pokecheque]

We have CMac pushers on here?

Dude, a Pittsburgh fan wrote a poem to Friedman telling Crosby it's ok to go play with Nate and Cale lol.

 

[AvsWraith]

Is Morgan Geekie a viable option? RFA, Bruins having trouble signing him, is in a good age range for us. Any takers?

 

[CobraAcesS]

We have CMac pushers on here?

There is fkn 27 of them lol

 

[Avsfan1921]

Maybe. What is a “pusher”? Is this akin to someone who pushes nukes powder into a line for him?

Sometimes only a gif will work lol.

Yeah I don’t know what kind of slang that is but I’ll tell you this — CMac makes my skin crawl when I look at him because he looks like he’s pen pals with Jared from Subway but I admire his huge solid brass nugs.

That might actually be what CMac does right after cutting the piss man's battery cables.

Crosby probably wants it too, but that whole loyalty thing is in his way. I mean why wouldn’t Crosby want to compete for another cup, be in the playoffs rather than the golf course?

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

I'd argue that most Pittsburgh fans are OK with it at this point. I think it's just Sid that doesn't want to abandon the franchise.

 

[AvsMakar08]

Who is the Empty Netters Pod?

They’re saying the Aves are aggressively hunting for another center

They are a bunch of scrubs. They are nobody. We have better predictor posters on this forum then some hockey insiders.

 

[dahrougem2]

Not to me.

Charlie Coyle makes zero sense. 21 points in 62 games, it's clear the guy has fallen off a cliff now that Marchand has regressed, Pastrnak isn't lighting the world on fire and DeBrusk is gone. Two seasons of 50+ points his entire 13 year career.

Idk what this dude is talking about.

 

[Chibby]

Vanacek held out for trade? Lol hope it’s Edmontom

 

[AvsMakar08]

Exactly this. It's about pride. If MacK plays here for 10 more years and then another team would want him for a few more years then I bet MacK would prefer to retire as an Av.

 

[Valushkin]

Can someone explain this to me please. I thought injured players couldn’t be traded. Was that an old rule that’s been changed? Or if the player is on IR or LTIR, then he couldn’t be traded? Because for example, Frederic is currently injured but got traded

 

[Pokecheque]

I'm old enough to remember when Coyle was a "top prospect" for the Sharks and got dealt for Brent Burns back when you could still see his face.

Yeah but that was a long time ago
