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

[Bill Peckerskull]

That would be a stupid trade for the Avs. They don't need Guentzel. They need a 2C and a goalie, and a 3rd pairing RD. Not a RW.

 

[JLo217]

So Mittelstadt is def going to Nashville, got it.

Give me that goalie lol

All those sites/articles linking the Avs to Ws just means that my solution of trying Drouin at 2C is coming to fruition.

Not to mention it doesn't fit the cap at all.

Which players and prospective new teams would make for perfect couples?

Frank is on a passive aggressive war path (as much as that might seem like a contradiction in terms).

First he calls Grier one of the worst GMs in the league (probably because he's not sharing ingo with Frank). He cant do that with Avs mgt, so he resorts to trades that make little to no sense.

There has been several articles.linking the Avs and Guentzel.

I like Jake , I'd take him.and.move Mikko or someone to C. We all.knoq we aren't getting a 2C anyhow. At least we'd be getting a real.good player

Edti: Ftr I don't think Gabe will be ready until next year and to make the Cap work Nuke stays in rehab

I mean he had some slick passes last night. Just needs to shoot more.

 

[Alienblood]

I'd be happy getting Kakko too. Worth the gamble and we need some youth.

Guentzel is a luxury the Avs cannot afford in both assets and cap if they wanted to re-sign him.

The Oilers will land him, and I love that move for them(hate it for us).

Hand the Oil Cup now. We should consider selling and gaining assets for next year, not trading 2nd's with retention for Eller's

Drouin is not a C

I actually love that Guentzel trade lol

I think it would force Bednar to play someone else as the 2C whether Mikko or Drouin

ditto and at least we gain a great player instead if an.Eller type C or not

This is what’s confusing me too. The Avs already have some of the best wings in the game. They have the potential return of Landy and Kovlenko coming over. This is assuming Nichushkin is back, as I don’t believe he should be missing playoffs a 2nd year in a row (Girard wasn’t gone all that long, don’t think he’d be gone for so much longer to a point he misses playoffs that are 2 months away). So why are we being connected to wings?

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

If they traded for Guentzel I would at least appreciate that they went after the best available forward. But as someone who strongly believes in the importance of Centers, I'd bet money on Guentzel ultimately not making enough of a difference.

It would be interesting to watch unfold though. If playoff RyJo showed up(99% chances he's done though) and Landy came back... Who knows. Maybe they get it done.

I think Term is the better approach too. I'm all for if it just costs too much and they want to make a big run like CBJ did with all the UFA's that one season. But I think they can still squeeze in right more with the right moves.

 

[Ararana]

Jesus Christ. Could you imagine if they traded two first round picks for another winger while the centers are imploding.

It's so stupid I almost expect cMac to do it.

You think in he'll bring in an asset like Guntzel? At this point I wouldn't even mind if it helps somehow. He won't get someone of that quality regardless of the price. Buy low reclamation projects for 2nd rounders is his MO. Or old near retirement guys that no one else wants anyways.

I am 100% convinced if they do not bring in a legitimate 2C then the season is over. Just like last year and every other postseason they didn't have a 2C.

So no, I wouldn't spend assets on Jake f***ing Guntzel or anyone for that matter who isn't a 2C.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

If you're getting Guentzel, you better be trading Rantanen for a Center. Only scenario where Guentzel makes any sense at all to me.

What’s the definition of insanity again? Lol

What’s the definition of insanity again? Lol

When people keep responding with "Drouin is not a C"?

 

[Bender]

[Ceremony]

We don't need centres. It's doughnuts all the way down.

 

[JLo217]

Have we talked about Byram asking for a trade yet? He looked a lot better last night.
