Friedman: Colorado Avalanche looking for forward help

[S E P H]

World War I level of injuries to Colorado's forward group have forced the Avs to seek out additional help says Elliotte.

Current injury list:
- Landeskog: Knee (LTIR)
- Colton: Broken Foot (LTIR)
- Wood: Unknown (2-3 weeks)
- Drouin: Shoulder/Abdominal (Unknown)
- Lehkonen: Shoulder (DTD)
- Nichushkin: Dr. Feelgood (November 13th)

I guess the question is, who is available?

[Some Other Flame]

Kuzmenko and/or Mantha. Both impending UFA's and won't cost much to acquire

 

[CanadienShark]

Maybe not the right target since I don't think they'll want to pay the right price, but Granlund would look very good there. I'd prefer to keep Granlund, but if we're going to trade him, there's probably some mutual interest between the two teams.

canes-brendan lemieux, jost
(utah)-yamamoto, schmaltz
kings-maybe fiala
sabres-quinn
maybe nurse from oilers, just make him a forward

 

[herashak]

Mantha for 4th

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Christian ‘Guy Smiley’ Dvorak for FCs

What's the word on Zetterlund? Probably a piece of the rebuild I reckon, but he's somebody I would definitely like to have.

I was gonna offer them as well, but cap might be a problem for the Avs this early in the season. Mantha at 50% might be manageable, not sure about Kuz.

 

[BlackAdam]

You guys want Ryan Reaves for a conditional pick?

 

[CanadienShark]

Hopefully this doesn't sound rude, but the word is no. He's simply not available. We're willing to trade rentals or guys that don't fit in long term. Zetterlund fits us long term.

For the love of hockey, liberate Puustinen and shove it in Sullivan's face when he isn't used like trash and produces.

Trade For Doc and Puustinen. Let them both have a chance at a better career.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

If the Pens struggles continue likely all of Rust, Rakell, Eller, Bunting may be on the block

The assumption is that the Avs will eventually get guys back. That makes “this early in the season” especially relevant.
