I have a hard time seeing how Colorado accepts a Landeskog deal that doesn't include Carlo or McAvoy. Yes, Zboril and Lauzon are fine, promising dmen but for a team that's desperate enough for blueline help to trade away their 24 year old, 2nd pick overall captain, you would think it would be unacceptable from their standpoint for the main piece they're getting to be two years away ( at minimum ) which Zboril and Lauzon are.

Him being a 2nd overall pick means nothing to me. He certainly doesn't score like a 2nd overall pick so not sure why that keeps getting repeated. He's a 20-24 goal scorer. Another thing I've read here lots is "youngest captain in NHL history". So because some franchise decided to prematurely name this kid a captain at 20 years old when he clearly wasn't ready for it, means he's worth more in a trade? Landeskog is the 24yr old captain of the LAST place team in the NHL. How's that for perspective
If the 5 player deal is legit, do you think its a 4 Bruins, 1 Av being Landeskog?
If not, who else do you think could be coming this way from Colorado?

Not picking on your post specifically, I just picked yours because you mentioned him being 2nd overall in your post.
The part that gets me is it started out that they wanted a young LHD and then suddenly it didn't matter what hand the defenseman was.
I think you might be confusing Colorado with Winnipeg and the Trouba situation earlier on in the season.
If you're Colorado and entering somewhat of a rebuild (given how poorly your year is going this year), wouldn't it make more sense to take the guy a few years away if in the end you do believe he'll be the better defenseman? Let's not forget (if memory serves) Zboril was still ranked higher on our prospect list coming into the season than Carlo.
In the meantime, you stay struggling and picking high, but ultimately end up with better players because of it.
No, because I remember thinking that Zbroil would be a good piece in a trade. If you look at their defense now...
Right Handed Shots
Jonson
Barrie
Left Handed Shots
Zadorov
Beauchemin
Barberio
^That is what they have currently signed past this season. They have a more pressing need for a LHD then they do a RHD, unless they plan on moving Johnson or Barrie out. Trading Landeskog to fill a 3rd pairing roll seems like a bad idea.
I have bad feeling JFK will be included in the package.
Carlo moving out in a deal with Colorado has always been the rumor for a couple of months now. I don't recall the Avs saying they're seeking a LHD.
The Winnipeg rumors have always been that they are seeking a LHD for Trouba.
My guess is Gabrielle + JFK + Zboril + Beleskey if a trade happens.
I think they would ( and should ) be targeting NHL ready prospects currently or on the cusp of playing full time in the NHL. I don't think Zboril or Lauzon are in that bracket of prospect readiness to be the centerpiece of a young, proven top 6 winger.
If Sweeney can pull off this deal without McAvoy or Carlo, he's a genius.
My guess is Gabrielle + JFK + Zboril + Beleskey if a trade happens.
