We've been down this deadline road before. Avs looking at everything, will end up doing nothing of significance.

32 Thoughts: Will Kyle Dubas shake up the Pittsburgh Penguins?

In his latest collection of thoughts, Elliotte Friedman writes about Kyle Dubas' delicate balancing act with the Penguins, takes a look around the trade market, and wonders if 70 goals would clinch the Hart Trophy for Auston Matthews.

It was in this 32 thoughts.

You are making my point. This is what he said in those 32T:
"Colorado’s search for a centre may take the Avs through Arizona. They know Alex Kerfoot, and could also consider Nick Bjugstad."

The operative words there are "may take". Nothing in that quote says he heard the Avs were link to Kerfoot. So either Dater is running with that or llike I said the Avs are feeding him Kerfoot to use that against another team like BUF, ANA, etc.

Lock up the knives at your house.

 

[henchman21]

As much as this pains me to say… I trust Dater more than I trust Friedman with Avs stuff.

Lock up the knives at your house.

What about the guns?

 

[UncleRisto]

Oh shit, I didn't consider that people have guns.

 

[BobRossColton]

Jake Evans+ armia @ 50%. ?

Correct. But then Dater also is reporting interest. So at the very least they’ve at least looked into him.

Friday at 3PM EST can’t come soon enough

Definitely feel like Bjugstad is our guy. And will be played at 2C… not the bottom 6 where he’d actually be alright.

 

[The Pwnerer]

Y"all wanted Brock Nelson but you'll get Bjugstad instead. 6'6" right handed center!? Cmac's dream fit.

But really I wouldn't be too upset if we could somehow unload Ryjo for Bjugstad especially at his cap hit.

 

[Pacman33]

While im sure we make some sort of move, im kinda hoping we dont. If its not an actual solution to 2c i dont want to waste assets

I'm a fan of the Avs and the Chiefs, it's a bi-polar experience for sure.

But like I said Dater's comment can be attributed to running with the baseless Friedman comment or fed by the Avs with a purpose.

If the Avs are really looking at Kerfoot I doubt it is for 2C.

I hate that the Avs are one of the teams you can always count on waiting til the last hour.

I mean Daters been 100% on all the Nuke stuff. He’s not the greatest source but he 100% has sources.

I agree he does. I'm just not sure that they are the kind of source we think of usually. I think he is used mostly by the Avs to leak what they want to be public. That is just my speculation though.

Yeah because Colton will be the 2C

 

[JLo217]

We all saw this coming even though we all hoped Ryjo would rebound.

The Manson/Lehki trades 2 years ago came pretty much out of nowhere. And we all know how important these guys became on the way to the cup. I still hope for something similar this year.

Please SacMac, do the right thing, will ya? Pretty please ...

That's not really true... the Manson trades stuff have been chattered about since the summer prior. Everybody here expected the Lehky trade for the whole season. It was about the least surprising move ever.

MacSac has a nice ring to it...

Yep it's been basically the same story every deadline, supposedly sniffing around all sorts of options but then they do about the worst things they could think of, then call it a day and shit away any chance of making a true playoff run.

 

[henchman21]

Yeah the whole boom or bust conversation all summer. I think what makes it worse than we thought, is that it is clear Colton just doesn't have another step. There was some thought that his game might clean up an with an expanded role somethings would improved... and they just haven't. He's roughly the 20-20 guy we expected and the minutes he's played this season are clearly catching up to him (and Wood and LOC).

Sorry, i had to ...
