Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread: “I’d buy that for a dollar!!!” Edition

Man screw Vegas, can we even move past Colorado??

Skinner > Georgiev

and I'll take my chances if they get to the WCF again

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Holy hell that team is going to be good.

The Sabres? Yeah that blueline is going to be amazing. If they can crest that hill from "building" to competitive.

Byram is a absolute stud I’m so shocked Avs traded him, they really going to miss him

Very injury prone though.

I'm frustrated that in an all in year we land on plan C



LAME

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Well yeah, and he is part of the ducks so could be part of the reason?

One has to assume, otherwise we might have to see what the player does first.

 

[Jet Walters]

Pittsburgh was said to be looking for prospects as opposed to picks for Guentzel, so I don’t think the door is closed there yet. A Ceci upgrade would be nice, but that player just might not be available this year.

How is getting one of the best C's available and a strong 4C plan C? Especially since we have more to come

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Gagner cleared.

No wonder the site's going so slow, Sam is pulling it.

Avs got a 2rd , 2c, got rid of Johansen's contract...God I wish we had a GM with their smarts. Byram has not improved since he got in the league, they sold high.

Ya they did sell high on him. Avs fans complain about him here and there

You have to have your plan and just go with it. They feel selling high on him is the right call

 

[Shanahanigans]

Byram has not been good for Colorado- small, injury prone, unable to find his footing on the 2nd pair even after they cleared out Erik Johnson and gave him that spot. Middlestat is a much better player at this point in their careers. What a tidy afternoon for the Avs.

COL scares me much more than Vegas, even before the moves.

They are PP darlings too lol

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Guess I'm in the minority but I hate that move for Buffalo?

Byram is overrated and the Sabres have no forwards.

why? Buffalo's defense is pretty stacked now and these types of d-men are hard to find

Middlestadt has been "meh" forever in Buffalo

As badly as I want an upgrade on Ceci right now, I think bringing in two defensively responsible forwards who also fill area's of great need will help with the D by committee, which is something this team has severely lacked for a while.

We still have Broberg, Foegle, and whatever other picks over the next 2 years if we can manage to find a D upgrade, but I think the forwards added are significantly better playoff pickups than the one dimensional scorers that have been floating around in rumors.

If there is more to come I am all for it! I believe there is nothing more to come than a lame duck 7/8 D

That is why

You can call anything “Plan C” when your preferred plans as a fan are completely unrealistic.

I'd be stunned if they're not in the WCF.

Plan C is really Plan A, the “C” stands for “Center”.

 

[WaitingForUser]

Like us they will go as far as goaltending will take them.

Byram doesn't make anything stacked. He's a band-aid that was drowning in Colorado's top 4 behind Makar and Toews.

Buffalo already has 2 really good defensemen and they just traded away their only forward of significance to bring in a guy who is nothing but question marks in terms of his ability to play against tough competition.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Gagner cleared.

Shocker…

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Colorado's already won with average goaltending. No reason they can't do it again.

 

[Da McBomb]

Vegas cheating again? Undisclosed injury lol

What are you talking about. I knew they were in on a few others and this was the fall back. I am the realistic one here

[SupremeTeam16]

I’m perfectly fine with a western conference rival getting worse defensively.

They’re going to miss Byram.
