Trades and UFA’s - Trade Deadline Edition

[All Mod Cons]

Is it safe to say Brodie, Timmins, Robertson, Niemela, Steeves, Abruzzeze and Minten don't have much value around the league?

Sometimes you have to take a risk and buy low and go some relaxing rejuvination massag

He isn’t worth the risk. He is so bad 1 team is paying him 4m a season not to play for them. Another with serious cup aspirations and a major hole at C just treated him like a cap dump. And a 3rd had put him on waivers.

 

[Scion]

Jarncock - RyJo - Marner

Johansen is a cap dump... Why on earth would you pickup that cap hit?

 

[dubplatepressure]

I don't think Robertson is good enough to play in the top six on a good team and I think he's useless in the bottom six. He's what the Leafs don't need, a non-physical forward who offers absolutely nothing to the team when the puck isn't on his stick.

As for Parayko, the term on his contract is an enormous plus, not a negative. He would be an incredible addition and would hugely improve the team now, and for the next several years.

So you simultaneously see the glass half empty for Robertson and full for Parayko... can't say I agree with you there - I actually see it as the opposite

Minten does but the rest is zilch probably

 

[Rubyblue]

Until the leadership grows a set or starts to hate to lose, no trade will help. Please no to Parayko.

If he had decent skating, then it would've been a huge maybe at like 1M-2M

But dude is Jason Allison without the hands.

 

[FerrisRox]

This is what makes Sakic great. He doesn't get too attached to guys and his goal is to always make the team better and not get stuck in bad contracts or ruin the team's cap or flexibility to make moves. Guy is always thinking multiple steps ahead.

Chris MacFarland is the General Manager of the Colorado Avalanche.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Tampa is involved too lmao

Chris MacFarland is the General Manager of the Colorado Avalanche.

Seth's family sure is talented

 

[hamzarocks]

Avs got some big moves done

Mittlestadt and Walker does improve their team for the playoffs

 

[rumman]

Johansen is a problem child, why would Philly want h8m back? Guy wears out his welcome wherever he lands…….

 

[1specter]

Chris MacFarland is the General Manager of the Colorado Avalanche.

I'm aware Mr Habs fan. Sakic is still the guy in charge and the one who has the vision for the team and built the Cup winning nucleus. Very similar to a Masai Ujiri and Bobby Webster situation.

 

[jfc64]

Ca-sey!!

Can Avs afford this next season?

Lehkonen - MacKinnon - Rantanen
Landeskog - Mittelstadt - Nichushkin
Wood - Colton - O'Connor
Tufte - Foudy - Kovalenko

Toews - Makar
Girard - Manson
Behrens -
Middleton - Malinski

Georgiev
Annunen

So you simultaneously see the glass half empty for Robertson and full for Parayko... can't say I agree with you there - I actually see it as the opposite

So you think Nick Robertson is a solid NHL veteran that dramatically improves any team he is on and Colton Parayko as a soft, one dimensional player who doesn't belong on the top six of a contending lineup?

Why, out of curiosity, do you think Robertson gets healthy scratched if that is the case?

Horny for the firstrounder. Imagine people drafting for members of the opposite sex!

 

[Fogelhund]

Why, out of curiosity, do you think Robertson gets healthy scratched if that is the case?

He's the only guy who is waiver eligible... pretty much the only reason he isn't in the lineup right now.

Brodie at 50% retained probably gets mid round pick

Robertson same

The others are probably the 3rd piece in a trade including a 1st + another good piece to grab something useful

 

[francis246]

Dream about a world without the salary cap?

Robertson, Brodie and Liljegren for Parayko 50% retained would leave the leafs with $44,000 in cap space.

A doable trade

 

[rumman]

Jarncock - RyJo - Marner

God please no……

 

[TheDoldrums]

Robertson, Brodie and Liljegren for Parayko 50% retained would leave the leafs with $44,000 in cap space.

A doable trade

The Blues are not retaining 50% on a long term deal. And the post I quoted had Kyrou as well.

 

[Kurtz]

Robertson, Brodie and Liljegren for Parayko 50% retained would leave the leafs with $44,000 in cap space.

A doable trade

Parayko only makes $1.5m more than Brodie against the cap, I think we have that much cap room right now even with a full roster. If not, we can always go down to 21 guys instead of the 23 we're carrying now. Retention isn't needed and wouldn't happen anyway.

They likely aren't getting that 1st round pick otherwise.
