I agree, we should go back to talking about trading Landy for Carlo. We need a culture change
Those truly were dark times

DOES THE COLUMBUS CONNECTION CONTINUE????
The problem is how many of those guys are going to actually draw interest, Wilson, Cole, maybe Nemeth. Outside of that I doubt anyone wants any of our garbage. I don't think they should move Cole or Calvert, any of the rest I would be happy to see no longer blocking younger players at this point.They need to put anyone not part of the "CORE" on the block . Any UFAs should automatically be traded for any draft pick they fetch.
Wilson LW UFA
Nemeth LD UFA
Bourque LW/RW UFA
Varlamov G UFA
Andrighetto LW RFA
Calvert LW 1 year left
Cole LD 2 years left
Barberio LD 1 year left
Nieto 1 year left
Offseason : I could see us seeing the value for EJ and Barrie The defense right now is not working. We have offensive minded guys coming up. I can see changes in the defense.
Its time to clean some house and let some younger guys play since these guys arent doing the job. Still cant believe Bednar put Wilson on the top line.
Don't worry Chet just assume everything is directed at me.

Columbus trades Bob to Florida for a package that includes Reimer coming back. (Luongo likes florida too much to waive)
Avs trade Varlamov for Reimer and Anderson
Reimer probably has better numbers than Varlamov but Reimer is signed for 2 more years and is not the answer, Varlamov might have been just good enough the past few years to trick someone to thinking he could be the answer.
If only for being the focus of his twitter account, Not sure we have the assets to acquire that sense of humor though.Reimer nor Varly are the answer there.... The King of Rock n Roll/Lugano is the answer though.
Not enough value for Anaheim, add Makar + Kaut + Girard + Zadorov to make it fairGrubauer + Ottawa 1st + Colorado 1st + Jost + Bowers + Kerfoot
For
Gibson + Getzlaf
It's Florida, that sounds just about right.It's Brooks so you have to be careful when believing it but 8 years for a 31 year old goalie, who is having the worst season of his career, doesn't seem like a very smart decision to me.
The salary cap cares, genius.
I think we might need to invest in drafting and developing some goalies instead of bandaid trades that'll help for a couple seasons.
It may take a while but once you get a good one your set.
It's looking like they will probably draft a lot higher than that if things keep going the same way. I wouldn't mind them trading down picking up more picks though.If only there was a potential franchise goalie available this year at around where the Avs should draft.

Yeah, if they land in the 6-10 range with their own pick, can get the player they want with the OTT 1st, and think he's going to last longer I'm sure someone in the draft is going to be looking to move up. A lot of ifs though. It would be nice to pick up another 2nd or something.Is it knight?

It sure as shit would be the year to do it. I just really wonder with their recent goalie approach in the draft if they would have the courage to make that call.If they want Knight then you pick him if he's available wherever you pick (as long as it's outside of the top 5 of course). Trading down is dangerous business, Price was supposed to go 13th and went 5th. Like I said in the draft thread some "expert" even had Knight at 7th like 2 weeks ago and he's trending up. Goalies with that kind of potential aren't available at every draft so if someone wants one he has to pick him early. The fact that we have 2 first picks this year also helps.
Don't throw out numbers and then say "who cares about the money"I was meaning in my "guesses" about how much they will get genius.
Sign Myers, Howard and Ferland for who knows how much....
Does that dumb it down for you?
When was the last time a goalie was taken in the 1st round? Seems like forever.

Oettinger in the draft before last years.
