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

[JH21]

My point was that none of those guys are a good enough acquisition. None of them move the needle for this team. It'll be another wasted year.

One player will not mean anything when it comes to winning and losing.

Get Nichushkin back for the stretch and Landeskog and Kovalenko for the playoffs then let's talk

Kerfoot for RyJo + seems right up the Avs alley. Does not solve the 2nd line center issue, but I think I would rather have Kerfoot on the roster than RyJo. And technically some cap savings still.

Would not completely eliminate the odds of getting Mittelstadt or Henrique (with retention) either.

Swap RyJo for Kerfoot and then add Mittelstadt or Henrique?

everyone here would be ok with Kerfoot IF he isn’t the only move .

This shouldn't even be true either.


Kerfoot doesn't make us better in any way.

Keefoot is better than Johansen?

 

[Azrael89]

So it’s agreed we’re meeting outside Ball Arena with torches when we trade for Kerfoot only on Friday right?

 

[nammerus]

You do realize he's partially responsible for the team that is:

5th in win % in the west
10th in win % in the league
1st in goals scored in the league

All with:

Lehkonen missing 35 games
Nichuskin missing 22 games
Girard missing 21 games



Good. We should have never let Compher go



So are we expecting to get a center for free? Or will we have to give up important pieces like Byram or Girard from a team which is already struggling to defend?

5th in the west and 10th in the league? Is that something to be proud of?

And we'll take it inside as the Avs play home to the Wild that day.

Neither Kerfoot or RyJo move the needle, but if swapping RyJo for Kerfoot with salary retention frees up about 3 mill or something, maybe it’s worth it

 

[Chiarelli]

I don’t believe this is correct unless we’re not counting Carey price playing for Laval in 20-21 on some technicality

 

[avalanche_country]

Be nice if the Avs Defourence played up to its capabilities

Missing two top 6 forwards and a top 4 Dman for for a 3rd of the season?

Yes.

 

[Avs44]

It feels like their goal is to make Kuznetsov so miserable riding the AHL bus that he eventually refuses to report and they can terminate his contract. Sort of a race between how desperately Kuznetsov wants his guaranteed 7.8 million next year vs. how much he hates the humiliation of it all.

Can we try this with Johansen?

That was a conditioning stint right? I'm guessing that doesn't count.

 

[Deadsy]

It was, not sure what "rostered" means here for Seravalli. Probably something in the lines of being assigned to AHL ignoring conditioning loans.

Pure guess here.

But I’d say he asked the Capitals to trade him.
They tried. No one wanted him.
He and his agent got pissed and the caps showed him that no one wanted him even for free.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Yes.

You’ve talked so much smack about how Girard sucks and this and that, now you’re calling him a top 4 dman and we missed him while he was in rehab?

 

[John Mandalorian]

You might need to workshop that some more. Doubtful it catches on.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Yeah would have to imply the intent to put him in the AHL not just getting someone up to game speed would be my guess.

I can’t stop and I won’t stop. Defivence?

Do us up a big ass fantasy proposal for old time’s sake!

Just for clarity, you were going for a word comparable to "Fourgiev" but for the defense?

 

[lionsDen]

Can Arizona even retain do they have slots?

Can’t get anything past you

Edit: just noticed 20 years ago today I signed up to this god forsaken website.

 

[John Mandalorian]

Weird to think, MacDermids career had to die so Kerfoots Avs career may continue.

Can’t get anything past you

Defivence gave me second thoughts.
