Trade Rumours and Proposals: Part XXXIV

[Do Make Say Think]

the first cup did and not the second... but lets say u are right... WHAT HAS THE SENATORS DONE IN THAT TIME PERIOD???? and i will even go out on a limb and say the "WELL RUN" senators will not win the cup for the next 5 years. after that five years i will add another five.... They will lwys be good and " WELL RUN" but not good enough.... if you think the goalie trade was not a good one, then u have not been watching the avs

You current team traded Craig Anderson for Brian Elliott because something happened and Anderson did not want to play for your organization anymore.

Something stinks in Colorado and it's too bad; don't ignore it. And falling back on past cup on our forum just makes you look like a reject from the Maple Leafs board.

The Colorado Avalanche are not good. They haven't been good for nearly 10 years. Their one good year was on the back of Craig Anderson.

So sorry that Sherman has ran your team into the ground but that's your problem not ours.

And it was not a good goalie trade because it was a trade you never had to make in the first place. You nickel-and-dimed a legitimate starter in Craig Anderson and parlayed him into a nothing asset called Brian Elliott who you let walk for nothing in return. You then traded a top 10 pick, which a rebuilding team grossly needs, for an unproven and oft-injured goalie that wasn't going to be capable enough to steal games for you and keep you out of lottery contention.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Erik Johnson for Chris Stewart and Kevin Shattenkirk. That is all.

 

[ChocolateLeclaire]

This guy mad.

I like how he created an HF Profile just to defend the stinky Avalanche on our board.

 

[Beville]

Well if that's the case lets compare senators and avs over the last 20 years;
Avs- 2 Stanley cups, senators 0
Avs 2 conf titles, senators 1
Avs 9 div titles, senators 4
Avs 13 playoffs, senators 13
Avs longest sellout (487) streak in history (lasted 11 years)

Yes the avs have been struggling the last few years, but they are working on it and have a plan. Until the senators actually win the cup, I would stop throwing stones at teams that actually have.... ONE OF THE WORST RUN

You mad bro?

I, for one, have been convinced by this eloquent and cogent argument.

Might as well pack in the towels gentlemen.

It's been a fine run, but it's time to dismantle the Ottawa franchise.

I'd be very interested at the price of a 5th or later.

 

[Ouroboros]

So apparently Murray has spoken to Tampa about Marc-Andre Bergeron?

Let me be the first to ask: why?

 

[jabubenice]

You mad bro?

Like I said, the avs have not done well the last few years, but if the senators are so well run, what have they won?? U ask am I mad, u serious?? I gave u the stats of both org and the avs have accomplished far more than u have. Do they have major issues, yes they do. But to say they are one of the worst run org based on the goalie and ej trade( which have worked well for them) is a little weak. As you can see I'm not calling anyone mad or crazy or any names. If the senators are the better org, show me the stats, unless of course winning is not the yardstick used to measure sports org...

MAB can't play D.

EK can't play D.

MAB = EK?

That would be the waste of whoever / whatever goes back even if it's a 7th.

 

[CB Joe]

Yes, they are CURRENTLY one of the worst run franchises in the NHL. Their GM and coach are considered sub-par by NHL standards and their ability to make trades has been questionable to laughable. Or do you think swapping Elliott for Anderson then trading a high 1st round and 2nd round pick for Semyon Varlamov is good asset management?

The Avs great run came off the backs of the Nordiques. Since they had to move past the Joe Sakic era, they've done nothing of note since.

Going to have to disagree. Sherman has been a very good GM for the Avs. His trades are usually good, and he does a good job at getting affordable contracts as well. I will agree with you on Sacco. He should not be coach at this point.

Anderson was never anything more than a stop gap for the Avs. By the time the Avs core matured to where they would be a contender Anderson would not be a good option. Anderson had one good year and wanted to be paid on long term for that one good year, that is why he was let go. Varlamov looks like he is going to be an excellent goalie, far exceeding the talent level of Anderson once he and the Avs future defense core mature.

The butthurt is strong in this one.

 

[HSF]

cant see us giving weir and zibby

i wouldnt be surprised to see someone like Ceci moved before weir

weir +zibby plus a bit more is what you move for someone like Nash ie more proven talent

 

[CB Joe]

Anderson is a good goalie, but he just doesn't have the raw talent Varlamov does. Only time will tell if Varlamov puts it all together though.

 

[metalfoot]

Mathieu Darche for conditional 7th rounder? He's at least as good an option as what we have coming up from the A at the moment...

 

[jabubenice]

Aah reinforcements have arrived.....will read your arguements and catch up with you guys tomorrow, its 1am here in Europe (Barcelona)... Good nite fellows!

He just retired earlier today.

Goalies are notoriously guilty of never living up to their potential.

I'll take the guy who is playing at an elite level since he arrived.

 

[metalfoot]

I know. He retired because he didn't have a job. Give him a job and i'm sure he'd unretire.

They're completely different style goaltenders.

Varly rely's on his athletic and agility where as Andy is all about angling. Hard to compare the 2 styles.

I'm not a fan of athletic goalies.

They're much more inconsistent.

We've had our fair share, that's for sure.

Anderson is probably the better fit for Ottawa since they are ready to compete at a higher level then the Avs. The Avs need time and Varlamov is a better option for them.
