GDT: NHL Free Agent Frenzy 2024

[dahrougem2]

Hindsight is usually 20/20.

I saw him skate during the playoff's via Evan's video clips. He clearly wasn't ready. So the medical experts prognosis of a playoffs/2nd round return were highly optimistic.

My question is what is his summer training regimen in order to be ready for the 2024-25 season? Is he currently skating some where under someone's tutelage?

Well the prognosis was always 12-16 months. Lonzo Ball has just recently been cleared for full basketball activities, no limitations, at 16 months.

So I'm expecting Landy is a full go come training camp if all goes well.

In 2022 that discussion would have been insanity.

In September of 2024, it’s not.

I respect Landeskog as much as any Avs fan, anywhere.

But this upcoming season, it’s time to bring this to a conclusion: either he can effectively play NHL hockey, or he can’t.

It’s time

Honestly it should be by Jan 1. If he isn't playing full time by then, he needs to LTIR retire. We really can't afford to play the maybe game the whole season, again.

And at that point it should be pretty obvious if he can do it or not.

See no reason for this other than money from Buffalo side

I don't have Facebook. What does the trade proposal say?

George + 2nd + 4th round pick for UPL+ 7th round pick

I'd do that in a flash

 

[TruePowerSlave]

George + 2nd + 4th round pick for UPL+ 7th round pick

Make it happen immediately

 

[Bensch88]

Make it happen immediately

I'm on board

 

[Richard88]

What are UPL's arb numbers look like? Could be an interesting move from a cap perspective of UPL would come in at a lower caphit than Georgiev.

 

[hockeyfish]

Oddly specific rumor.

 

[missionAvs]

George + 2nd + 4th round pick for UPL+ 7th round pick

Ummm yes. Where do we sign?

Give him 2x3, then get him long-term later..

 

[Richard88]

2 years walks him straight to UFA

 

[BobRossColton]

2 years walks him straight to UFA

So 1 or 3+ years

 

[LOFIN]

I'd do that in a flash

Obviously, but I don't see why Buffalo would be doing this other than the fact that they fear UPL might get a heavy paycheck from arbitration. Georgiev would be cost controlled this year.

Georgiev + Colton (if he would waive for Buffalo lol) to UPL + McLeod.

Ah yes. NHLtraderumors.com the most legit rumor sourcing website out there.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Wait, why we rate UPL so high?

 

[missionAvs]

Wait, why we rate UPL so high?

We're all suffering from end stage 4giev syndrome.

 

[UncleRisto]

I haven't watched enough to know some of these guys but what is the difference between Miles Wood and say Kelly Parker or Chase Bradley? Is the difference in play equal to the difference in pay?

It's actually Bradley Chase.

Colton Ross. Son of Diana.

 

[AslanRH]

that does not sound like a good trade. tis the season though

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Wait, why we rate UPL so high?

He's 6'5", 24 and just put up a .910 save percentage on a team that wasn't really known for their defense. It's the hope that he will continue to develop off of that and you acquire him right before the boom.

Hope he progresses like Swayman..

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

God, I'd love Swayman on this team, guy seems like he'd be a perfect fit.

Historically speaking, it also seems like a real Avs move. They've used other teams as their development team for their goalies for a while, Anderson, Varly, Gru and even now with George.

 

[henchman21]

UPL is better than George and would have a year or two longer at a similar cap hit. I see the appeal. I wouldn't pretend that UPL is a star goalie or anything though.
