Avs acquire C Brock Nelson (50% retained) + F William Dufour for F Cal Ritchie + D Oliver Kylington + 2026 1st + Cond. 2028 3rd

I’d trade Drouin if it came down to it, and if that’s what it would take to get a 2 RD, but not the others. I usually agree with pretty much everything you say, but not this time. Sorry bud…

I don't think they should trade Lehky, but Drouin's a UFA, and they'll most likely re-sign him.

He took less on one year deals to stay, he's played well (though been injury pone), he's Nate's buddy who just lost another buddy in Mikko, and they finally have the money to give him a longer deal after trading Mikko.

They could be in a tough spot at 2C, if Nelson and Coyle don't work out. Likely be in a tough spot anyway at 2nd pair RD.

Even if Crosby would finally agree to be traded, I'm not sure they have the assets anymore to bring him in without giving up key roster players, unless Dubas just does him a huge favor.

With the cap going up even more when Lehky is up for a new contract, maybe we can get a 2 RHD by giving up picks or prospects like we did with Manson

Sure, if you can convince a team to trade their RHD to us for a pick in 2027 and Oskar Olausson I'm all for it.

Maybe we’ll find a UFA RD?

All you tits were getting worked up over a guy playing 2 weeks on his new team after spending 14 years with one organization.

Brock is a beast.

Chicken little syndrome run amok. The sky is NOT falling.

Not everybody. I had no issues giving him more time. The guy is a goal scorer. It was just a question of time before he start filling the net. Let's not forgot he also hit 3 posts.

Adjacent to the Nelson situation:

The Avs looked their absolute best with:

Drouin - Mac - Nuke
Lehky -Nelson - Necas

Congratulations to Jared Bednar for finally catching up with HFAvs when it comes to the lines which need to happen!

That's literally what makes this board interesting though.

He's now going to disappoint us and change it to back.

This. But with not even a tiny hint of irony.

My boy Brock finally breaking through. Told you guys to stop worrying.

 

[AvBuff]

General Bednar's system is not easy to learn. But Brock Nelson acquitted himself nicely and held the line in recent border skirmishes. Secretary of War MacFarland his informed Gen. Bednar to elevate Col. Nelson in the upcoming battle against Gen. DeBoer's Texans.

I think some on these board are suffering from Jost/Compher/Newhook/Mittelstadt hangover. It's time to take the beer goggles off and see that Nelson is actually a really good player.
