IF we were to trade for Hanifan a Girard+ trade where Hanifan signs a similar deal to Hampus Lindholm wouldn’t be the worst..

Avs per usual have been linked to just about every big name player this deadline. Only to have our hearts ripped out of us when we end up with next Soderberg, Nemeth and Dubynk v2.

Oh yea, Hanifan. Another member of the "switch a vowel" club. Other famous members are Pierre Dorian and Conor Timmons.

Just listened to 32T, and didn't hear him mention the Avs with NH once.

He is kind of like that but I think he has a higher offensive ceiling. He's producing pretty well without necessarily being fed a ton of minutes or PP time.

My buddy who’s a flames fan sent me a message in it, so I just took his word for it.

It was on the Marek Show... I recorded it on my phone but it's 26MB.
Friedman didn't say anything that he knows happened - he just said he's wondering about the Avs and if they'd be in on Hanifin.

Yeah he did mention COL on Hanifin but it was just "something he could see the Avs being interested".

Litterally his whole shtick with the Avs. Big name... have to tie Avs to it.

Gotta agree - for all the stuff that he's speculated on about the Avs over the years, he's batting for like .000
Even Michael Jordan was better than that!!!

Friedman every year:
I could see *insert contending team here* being a dark horse for *insert star player here*

Would be a pure rental, then, as Hanifin has been pretty clear he wants to sign for an American team.
I think his view of the game is pretty interesting in general. I don't really use him for rumors, but really like the questions he asks as a reporter versus some of the other guys. He's got a positive and unique spin without being a clone of every other hockey analyst or reporter. He sits between the likes of Dreger and Chiclets. Him and Jeff Marek own it and no one else is really in their league IMO.
This might be out there, but I really see Meghan Angley going in that direction. She's going to go places. IMO the work she's doing at DNVR is their only bright spot. I do like Eric from time to time for his internal workings perspective, but beyond that he's just in the old boys club. Everyone else at DNVR has basically said they can't wait for the deadline to be over so they don't have to deal with the fans as they cover it.
Worked out pretty well for that last guy who joined the Avs late in the season and decided to stick around for one more year after

The Friedman hate on this board is becoming ridiculous TBH.
What else he's supposed to do? He's filling a 1.5h podcast twice a week + a blog + tons of TV apperances. He's not going to do that with breaking news only.
He's doing what they all do: speculate and report what they hear. Considering that he's almost always the first to report trades and contract signings it's pretty clear that he has good sources.
When he says Colorado is interested in something he hears that from teams other than Colorado. If CMAc is calling the Leafs and offers Drouin, he'll know that Colorado is shopping Drouin.

Same. Impressive but not in a flashy way but more reminiscent of Sam Bennett with Florida. Perfect target. The big problem is, Ottawa wants to move Norris instead.

Friedman is doing his job... but it doesn't mean people should take him seriously here. When was the last time he broke anything related to the Avs?

Yeah I'm not surprised... and that's gonna cause his BFF to be even more unhappy !
Rumor: - 2022-2023 Trade Rumors and Free Agency: Let’s Run it Back!
7 years for a guy like that is a big commitment, so I understand the lower AAV. He's set now. His body could completely fall apart in 2-3 years after a few more Cup runs and he's secured the bag. It works for Tampa during their window and it works for him long-term. Yup... that's all this...

You're gaslighting everyone for him choosing to do something that lasts 1.5 hours? How is it anyone on HFAvs fault that hes on the air so much?

I'd not call being on duty 24/7 always on high alert to be the first to break everything "easy". That guy is always working.
