Rumor: 23-24 Trade Rumors and Free Agency Part Trois: The Road to the Deadline

[dahrougem2]

I wouldn't mind Allen if Montreal takes Johansen back. Salaries match, addition by subtraction removing Johansen and Allen, while in no ways a starter, is at least an NHL caliber goalie and can spell Georgiev more frequently.

 

[Rumplesnipeskin]

Allen and RyJo both have the same contracts practically

Switching them for each doesnt really accomplish much. I mean, it does a little.
In theory, we’ve helped an area of need without using any cap space.

The more I type, the more I see SOME logic to it.

But that type of move would definitely mean some type of forward acqusition is coming as well.

I had this same thought process.

Swap salaries, help an area of need, and maybe Allen does well enough he can be shipped out over the summer. More likely to find a taker for Allen than you are RyJo, perhaps?

 

[JH21]

Unless you know something we don't, he hasn't?


But honestly it wouldn't be surprising if he did. It would explain a lot of the problems with his game this year for sure.


I shouldn't even be surprised.

Yes, because Nuke has helped us so much during last years playoffs and this year.

It's time to move on from him. He's nothing but an unreliable distraction at this point.

 

[Grackle Party]

First time on the board this morning and I really thought RyJo was gone...

 

[Alienblood]

The Avs are a .500 team without him and over .700 with him.

Without Nuke they are a lottery team

 

[Ararana]

I love how excited this board got when we all thought RyJo was gone for 2.5 minutes.

Great 2C pickup there, cMac.

 

[Frenchy]

If i'm the Avs , i'm making calls for Fleury and see if he's available . That would be a way better option , plus he's been linked to the Avs for years.

 

[BobRossColton]

I know pursue is a strong word, but if we pursue wennberg can we get Daccord too at least.

 

[Pokecheque]

Doubt the Kraks will get rid of him. I'm sure they'd be willing to part with Groob's contract though!

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

I'd trade Ryjo with retention for Theo Fleury at this point.

True but IF the Avs were to make that move, they'd move Annunen back to the AHL and save close to $1M in cap space just by trading RyJo. ($4M - $3.85M = $150K + $775K Annunen = $925K)

I also do believe that it would be a good trade for both sides since RyJo would probably do better with the habs and then next year, since he'd be in the last year of his contract, he'd probably try harder. The more power to him and the habs if they want to stomach that guy's play for a year only to get a draft pick for him next year from another delusional GM.

My only question mark for this would be if Allen can bounce back from a pretty bad season so far and he wasn't great last year either.

I dunno, for whatever reason I just don't see it. Are the mild going to retain on his $3.5M salary ? Because that's more than Georgiev makes this season and that would be a pretty tough salary to fit in for a guy who's probably brought in to be the back-up, if they aren't going to retain half the money or accept RyJo in return.

 

[missionAvs]

Man I was actually rather happy to see RyJo going the other way for Allen not because I think Allen's any good but because I can't stand RyJo.

 

[Chiarelli]

Maybe RyJo can play net? Minimal movement!

 

[BobRossColton]

Mathew Phillips on waivers, I think AJ wanted us to sign him?

He's small.

 

[sethro109]

Maybe RyJo can play net? Minimal movement!

You expect that POS to stand for 60 minutes?

 

[the_fan]

Georgiev is still safe for playing 70 games this year. Also I’m not sure why people take what those guys on Spittin Chiclets say seriously. They are doing their podcast on shrooms and stuff. Jake Allen probably looks like a 2 headed dragon to them when they were trying to break the news he was traded to Avs

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Buffalo have UPL

What are the symptoms?

 

[John Mandalorian]

Did Montreal go too far in representing the idea that Colorado is interested? Were they trying to manipulate some other team to offer more?

I mean they’ve called stuff before. They called the Barrie to TO trade and the babcock stuff. They have plenty of connections league wide so them announcing trades isn’t too surprising at times.

 

[JLo217]

Murls is cautious. I’d believe him

 

[hockeyfish]

I'm a little worried that the real insiders only softly shot down the rumor.

 

[BrickNHL]

I'm a little worried that the real insiders only softly shot down the rumor.

Yeah they talked about how theyve had discussions so we know the interest is there. I wonder if it getting leaked kills any interest from the Aves

Why would it?

 

[Muffin]

Why? Allen would be a solid 1B. My only worry is his salary prevents us from making other moves.

 

[BrickNHL]

Why would it?

It's the Aves, they're a bunch of secretive weirdos.
