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

[forsbergavs32]

If Dater actually breaks ANY trade, I don’t care if it’s for Kerfoot or Crosby, I'm gonna be f***en pissed

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Whispers? Friedman didn't exactly whisper it two weeks ago. Avs are looking at so many options right now.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Dater is just catching up to his phone plan finally working again after 7 years of no service and is wondering if the Avs will be signing Kerfoot out of the NCAA.

He finally listened to 32T from 3 weeks ago

 

[The Abusement Park]

Like it or not, Dater does have sources.

Oh no, I know that. I just think it's hilarious that people always mock things he says but are taking this as gospel, whether this is accurate or not.

 

[EdAVSfan]

Kerfoot does provide Selke level defense….

 

[Balthazar]

Dater clearly talks to someone in the Avs org right now, he was the first to report that Nuke was going on the player assistance program AND that he was coming back.

 

[Freaky Styley]

If Dater is reporting it we should all be relieved.

In all honesty, considering the options he wouldn't be the worst acquisition. Familiar with the team/structure, has clearly improved since his time here and has skill. Would also likely be flanked by some hulking wingers to off-set some size issues.

Definitely not advocating it but we could do worse

I believe that's going to be renamed to Eriksson-Ek at some point...

 

[niwotsblessing]

Either way....This place is going nuts at some point this week.....

It already is.

Like I said, Dater's recent history is a good reason to be worried that he's telling the truth.

Also going after former Avs at the deadline is no stranger to the Avs (Nemeth, Soda, Nieto etc).

 

[Balthazar]

JFC, Kerfoot is still signed for next season at 3.5M (I didn't know that)

That's exactly in the ballpark of what CNAP wants to pay for a 2C.

 

[BrickNHL]

I wouldn't even mind a Kerfoot trade tbh if we don't overpay

Please dont shoot me

 

[Mighty Makar]

Pardon?

 

[NateTheGreat]

Never thought I’d see the day where Friedman reports something and it gets dismissed, then a week later Dater says he hears “whispers” of the same thing as if a national reporter didn’t beat him to the scoop and he’s the one to be believed

Either way, FML if we get Kerfoot as our only addition.

 

[Ceremony]

I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that acquiring Kerfoot should see mass civil unrest in Denver.

 

[missionAvs]

f*** off. Kerfoot, really?

 

[hockeyfish]

Why in the hell does Kerfoot have no trade protection?

 

[EdAVSfan]

Maybe he plans to swap him out with RyJo and pay Arizona an asset for it.

Yeah, I only take Kerfoot back if it's double 50% retention for 4C.

 

[AllAboutAvs]

It could also be the Avs just using Dater as posturing for another C. Avs going to the motion with Kerfoot to try to scare the other team so they lower their asking price.

Also maybe Dumba is coming with him?

Subtraction by addition, seems about right.

Swapping RyJo for Kerfoot at 50% could be interesting.

I'm not sure what it would cost though, at least a 1st IMO since Kerfoot would be at 50% next year too.

 

[Cypher]

Hopefully Ingram comes over too than with Kerfoot

 

[CobraAcesS]

The Avs don’t like to pay up until they absolutely have to. I don’t think they are there yet.


Well played

This is why I went to Mexico to get a woman.

Wouldn’t even be necessary.

You’re saving 500k alone from a straight swap. And I’m almost 100% sure it’s easier to move kerfoot in the offseason than it is RyJo.

Kerfoot is more versatile, younger, slightly cheaper, better production, etc.
