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

[Chibby]

Yeah, not worried about this guy. Total softie and floats all the time.

Someone say my name?

 

[Avs44]

Never underestimate the sudden motivation a lazy man finds in a contract year.

 

[The Abusement Park]

I don’t think it’ll happen, cuz Mantha’s very ryjo, but he has the talent to get hot down the stretch and earn himself an absolute mistake of a contract from someone.

I mean would depend on the trade, but my guess is it would be a 3 way.

Boston: Lindholm
Vancouver: Guentzel
Pens: Picks and prospects from mainly Boston

I mean maybe Vancouver sends out some late prospects and stuff but idk it doesn’t seem that bad to me.

Now if Vancouver just sent Lindholm to Boston for less than they got him for and didn’t get Guentzel or another top 6 option than it’d be really problematic .

We'll have to see, but as of now, I think it's more likely that Vancouver would have to chip in picks/prospects too.

On top of the 1st, 4th, Kuznetsov, Brzustewicz, and Jurmo they gave up for Lindholm.

They can't recoup assets from Boston for Lindholm, and use Boston for the assets for Guentzal at the same time.

Whatever the price the Pens accept, it had to outbid Vegas who are aggressive and desperate as well.

It's unlikely to just be the price it takes Boston to trade for Lindholm when Vancouver is desperate and he's sunken his value further with his play, but we'll see.

Man Vegas fans really have no idea how good they've got it. Big, fun, smart moves year after year

It’s frustrating seeing a rival that just keeps trying to win and is willing to make the moves, whereas the Avs seem okay with “well, if everything works out…”

In a free fall and at risk of missing the playoff though. 2-7-1 their last 10 and lost 3 in a row.

What if they miss? At least we won the division in our decimated Cup defense.

All the other gms really blew it by giving them all the assets in the expansion draft.

They aren't missing

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

With all the rumours of the other teams that are competing targeting players, I’d fully expect Kerfoot to be the big move

As I stated... Friday is going to be intolerable either way.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Oilers want Henrique.

Crosby cometh.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Watch them get PLD, the long-term, high cap version of RyJo

 

[henchman21]

Crosby cometh.

Crosby = it is intolerable how excited we'd be and time to shit on everyone

Kerfoot = Intolerable cope combined with intolerable hatred

Nothing = Intolerable depression

 

[Balthazar]

Oilers want Henrique.

Ok so Henrique to Edmonton, Wennberg to Rags

Welcome back Kerfoot.

Fml!

Rico makes a lot of sense in Edmonton... he can man the 3C spot to allow them to condense McD, Drai, and RNH. Or he can ride shotgun on any of the top 9 lines as a wing doing dirty work. More than a top end scorer, Henrique really fits what they need (could really use a solid RD as well).

Jesus. If we acquired Anthony freaking Mantha the board would lose its mind.

But when someone else does it it's an awesome move.

Lol. Can't make this crap up.

If the Avs do nothing of significance, I'll be screaming "why? why?" like Nancy frikkin' Kerrigan on Friday afternoon.

We're so f***ed

Given Mantha's advanced stats and how prominent they are liked here, Mantha would have a lot of supporters here (not me mind you).
