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

[Gruyeriev]

I really don’t trust players whos names end in KO. Kovalenko, Grigorenko, Johansenenko

Quite the opposite for me. I love Kimiko, Akiko, Junko, Mariko and all the rest

I can't wait for deadline day. It's going to be pure chaos either way. No in-between. We're either going to be cup favorites or trying to tank the rest of the way

We gonna get Kerfoot to be the 2C

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Sure. They also have less overall assets using that theory, though. And they still go all out.

It’s a very different sport in terms of roster construction. Out of all the major North American sports basketball is the one where one player truly can carry a team quite far. Due to that, you can actually toss massive amounts of futures. A big NHL deal has a 1st round pick and maybe some prospects, a major NBA deal can involve years worth of 1sts being thrown out the window

Honestly this place might be burned to the ground if that happens. Eller 2.0

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

It’s kinda crazy how PLD is just RyJo. CBJ sure loves their unmotivated top picks, Zherdev, Filatov, PLD, RyJo

He's not the J2C we want and deserve.

How dare you, if the Avs had kept SelKerfoot they’d be a dynasty right now

I know what I'm betting on

No doubt they are different, though basketball does get misconstrued as being a one or two player team sport when it's really not. Just look at the LA Lakers. Two of the best players in the world yet struggling. You need a deep team to go far, just like in the NHL.

GMs in the NBA just happen to be more proactive in trying to acquire star players because then you can properly build around them. NHL teams are far too patient most of the time.

If I am CMAC, idgaf about draft picks this year, next year, in 2026 or in 2027. If I can get as many Stanley Cups as possible, I am willing to trade every last pick and prospect over the next four years to make that happen. Whether that be core type players or players to complement on really good contracts.

NHL GMs would never do that, though.

I think I've convinced a friend into Pinto.
Changing tactics to Pinto!Pinto! Pinto!

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I know what I'm betting on

Is it folding the franchise?

 

[JLo217]

I know what I'm betting on

Crosbeee?

 

[the_fan]

He's not the J2C we want and deserve.

He’s smarter than J2C because he went to Harvard

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

He should sue Seravalli for suggesting that trade to the Avs. Now he's hurt because of the name association.

 

[Cypher]

It'll be Granlund + Kahkonen (50% retained) for RyJo + picks/prospects. The cap just fits.

Granlund’s going to go end to end and score on the Avs net just to break our hearts again

MoreFinns can’t hurt

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Who knows, maybe CMac is secretly recreating the Jokinen and Luongo for Parrish and Kvasha deal where the Avs get two guys that look mid and turn out to be Grade A. Most likely we trading for some current/former Jackets…but none of the guys that would actually be any good

 

[Foppa2118]

This has me curious about the results of a poll, gauging how we expect to feel about the Avs deadline, versus how we end up feeling afterwards.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Is it folding the franchise?

Nah, ECHL relegation.

 

[UncleRisto]

He’s basically producing the same as Kovalenko

Do you think it's the enko?

Might have to do something with the fact there are no good Jackets :-D

 

[Hasbro]

Screw the deadline! Just call up Ritchie when Oshawa's season ends.
