Why would the Avs move him? Well I guess if an upgrade is offered.
Batherson?
Is there an unwritten contest to be the first person to say something outlandish?If I'm sending Necas to Ottawa, I'm starting with Pinto as the return.
If it's an extended Necas Pinto+Batherson
At least I wasn't first..Is there an unwritten contest to be the first person to say something outlandish?
Brady would look great in an Avs uniform.

I have no idea if Nelson is expected to re-up or not but something around Cozens + Batherson for Necas + Colton with picks on either side as needed doesn’t seem outlandish.
Bringing up Tkachuk or Sanderson is insane and personally I wouldn’t move Pinto and I don’t think Sens management would either.
Colton has a full NTC this year and a modified the next two. It may be difficult to get him to consider waiving for Ottawa.
Additionally, I think Batherson’s value is a lot closer to Lehkonen than Necas and I don’t see Cozens as a huge value piece given his 40-50 points per season over the last two seasons with a $7.1m cap hit that bridges that gap.
If you wanted something around Lehkonen and Batherson I think it makes sense.
What exactly is the appeal of Pinto? Guy is already 24 and never put up more than 40 points in a season.Pinto+Kleven
Right hand shot, speed, big, his skating would work with our speed.What exactly is the appeal of Pinto? Guy is already 24 and never put up more than 40 points in a season.
Lehkonen's career high is 51 points. Batherson scored 68 pts this year good for 2nd on our team while not even playing with Stutzle who had the most points. Ottawa is a relatively low scoring team with distributed offence. Batherson has wayyy more value. Imagine Batherson on Mackinnon's wing? 90 point season would not surprise me.
