Value of: Your goaler to the Avs

[lilidk]

Lyon is cheap and excellent back up, capable playing 40+ games, been very good last couple of seasons

 

[Peter Griffin]

I love a good delusional bern thread.

 

[IWantSakicAsMyGM]

Some of these proposals are just silly. Like there's no world where the Avs are paying a 1st for an unproven or subpar goalie. And there's no world where they are trading one of their superstars for a goalie either. The Avs will take the Vegas approach and go for medium goaltending with a strong blue line

I'd rather have average goaltending. A goalie who can get distracted talking to ghosts n the middle of the game seems like just asking for trouble...

I love a good delusional bern thread.

It’s a very random thread for this to happen in but once bern shows up, you can be certain things will go wildly off-tangent with astonishing speed.

Hussos' bags are all packed

 

[bernmeister]

Colorado isn’t trading mackinnon.
The kings and leafs say no to those deals also.

Agree Avs NOT trading MacK
Leafs and Kings lean yes

TOR must do something bold, cannot repeat
hi price for hi reward
still have 'nuf firepower w/Matthews +

Kings take a big hit at young pivot but are sufficiently strong at C, and Zib is inconsistent w/Kreider but not a bum and while lower upside to Byfield, helps now;
given Shesty way upgrades their whole squad they likely do this deal

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Filip Gustavsson would be a nice grab, what would be the base of the trade though?

Was thinking yesterday how he would be a perfect fit. Would Wild trade him to a divisional rival?

Kings aren’t moving their 22 year old future 1 center. Also Anderson is very good dman on a great contract.

Leafs just extended Nylander and have Marner and Tavares going to free agency. Also throwing in another top 6 winger.

Shesterkin is great but he’s getting close to any of these returns. Zib also has a NMC why would he waive?

I think Minnesota is about to rebuild, after this season they'll be out of the expensive buyouts.

Really don’t see Minnie going for a rebuild. All indications are they will looking to spend this upcoming offseason to try and keep Kaprizov long term.

I guess retool since the expensive portion of buyouts will be done. It'll allow them to spend and deal more freely.

I explained da bold multiple times

as to rest of it we agree to disagree

 

[Breakers]

The year is 2035

John Gibson is still talked about in trade rumors

 

[SEALBound]

I think one situation to keep your eye on is the Penguins. Blomqvist has done pretty good in his two games. If he can keep it up and they look to him over Jarry, either Jarry or Nedeljkovich could come available. Jarry may be a little tougher to work out but is likely the cheaper and more available goalie.

 

[Marlowe Syn]

I see the Wild's goalie situation becoming more trouble than it's worth. Like everybody else in the hockey world not name Bill Guerin. It's already starting with early injuries and call up needs. I am somewhat hopeful Gustavsson is traded well before the TDL because this three goalie jazz cannot be beneficial for anyone involved, especially Wallstedt. Something has to give..

So far Gus is looking to be in good goalie form. Albeit tiny sample size. Any trade offer. even quarters to dollars value are hopefully considered, but then who know what hell Billy G is thinking anyway throughout this.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

bold: Thank you for making this distinction.
underline: you are entitled to yr opinion, but he is gonna be available as either
-- Rs trade him now
-- sign him and trade him later
we are not gonna let him walk for nothing

Multiple suitors = price being driven UP not down
he obv IS elite
elite or as close as possible to elite will be required

for the record, I see Kings and Leafs as real suitors, not Avs

Leafs have Matthews. Maybe Marner if he signs a sweetheart deal could get a trade done. What does LA have though? No 3 assets they have is even close to 1/3 of what it would take.

This may be insulting to Aves fans and Rangers may not have a need. But Makar could be the right price.

Aves already have a 7 million dollars contract for Toews. And Manson and Girard each on pretty big contracts. What is the use without and elite goaler?

The price seems fair to me but NYRs have Fox already who is arguably even to Makar. Fox more defensive than power player but both are top defense.

So, next year that would leave the Wild with Wallstedt, an untried NHL goalie, and...?
