Just because Chia got robbed doesn't mean Sakic will.

Just because 1 GM traded Filip Forsberg for Erat and Latta doesn't mean another one would.

But now two GMs have been made basically the same trade. Sorry, but you can't arbitrarily exempt your team from market valuations just because you don't want to pay the same price.
 
Not much chance of that. There should be considerable interest in Barrie from many teams and the price will reflect that.

Edmonton has a lot of similarly rated assets. I honestly don't mind an overpay of a single player, it's when you start adding multiple pieces for 1 it's going to become an issue.

Even without Hall or getting Lucic Edmonton can still run a full top 6

Maroon-McDavid-Eberle
Pouliot-RNH-Draisaitl

Even subtracting Eberle or RNH from that isn't going to hurt too much. You can get a guy like Vrbata, Stephniak, PAP, or Vanek to replace Eberle in UFA to set up the transistion to Pulju, or make a move for a guy like Filppula from TB to replace RNH.


If it takes RNH+Davidson to get Barrie, then so be it. That's your top 4 locked up for the next 1/2 decade with Klefbom, Larsson, Sekera, and Barrie + a lot of good young defence on the way to replace Davidson, and be on the bottom pairing (Nurse, Reinhart, Oesterle , Simpson, Jones, Bear, Paigin, Neimelainen, Berglund).
 
An Avs fan on Twitter showed some advanced stats comparing Fowler and JJ which showed a lot of similarities. From there Avs fans have been calling him JJ. I apologize on behalf of our fan base for this. I promise you some of us know the difference.

Lol, we have an Oilers fan who does this too. Showed advanced stats that Martin Maricin should have been played on our top defense pair. People need to realize that sometimes numbers don't tell the complete story.
 

If that's a possibility would it look like:

Edmonton: Barrie

Colorado: Trouba

Winnipeg: Landeskog

Outer Space: RNH

It's confusing me why people are lumping this into a three way trade. If its Landy for Trouba and Barrie for RNH, that's not a three way trade. It's the Avs making two deals.

I'm not saying you specifically are calling this a three team trade, you were just the last person to post about these specific players so I quoted you.
 
Pittsburgh proved you can win with a marginal blueline. Having top pairing guys helps, but there's nothing wrong with having 5 top 4 D. Besides Barrie is pretty good.

YEah if you have a super hot goaltender to bail them out like Murray :P
 
I'd be ok with shipping out Landeskog and Barrie for RNH and Trouba. We'd be a better team in my opinion. Landy is great but not the heady player Roy/Sakic covet. RNH could reboot his career here.
 
GET IT?? BECAUSE ELKUND IS ALWAYS WRONG I SEE U LOL HAHA



Sorry, I find the posts claiming the opposite of an Eklund rumor are more annoying than Eklund rumors at this point. :laugh:

I would love for him to be right and we get in on some action, so sad after the whole Stamkos situation lol
 
If Eklund had tweeted Hall for Larsson yesterday not only would no one have bought it but it might have actually been his worst one ever

Yes and when you have Crosby, Malkin, Kessel and the hottest young goalie in the league you will to.
