You name your roster "Big Z", and I'm thinking "bold move, signing Chara".

Then you show you traded for Nikita Zadorov.

I'm disappointed. There is only one Big Z.

Even though Dermott's only 23 & has upside...what if it was a 3rd instead of a/both 4ths?

No, Avs do not accept this.

Why would we help Toronto out in their cap situation by sending them a goalie who's just as good if not better but $1.7m cheaper, and younger? At best that trade is a wash, and Zadorov + 5th for a mid 2nd isn't that great.

I have no clue why people think Leafs desperately trying to get rid of Anderson is going to solve the Avs goalie issue.
Grubauer is good. but cant stay healthy...Anderson is old and over 4 years was has been awful in must win games for the Leafs in the playoffs....Hutchinson has better must win game numbers than Anderson.

Avs need to figure out their goaltending going forward, but a 31 year old playoff underpreformer who 1 year away from UFA is not a solution, its a gift to the leafs

gru would be just as good if he can stay healthy. he hasn't proven he can handle the workload of starter, not to mention multiple playoff series on top of that.

zadorov for a 2020 2nd is good value in my book. his q.o. is way to high for what he is.

You seem to have a really short memory. Grubauer was awesome down the stretch last year and was the biggest reason why we snuck into the 2nd wildcard spot. He was then lights out against Calgary (remember that ridiculous elevated pad save?!). He's also been solid against San Jose and Arizona in the playoffs. One injury doesn't change that.

If Zadorov's QO is too high why do I keep seeing AGM's with people resigning him to $4.5m+ deals, like this AGM? If he's worth that money to resign he's easily worth more than just a 2nd.

avs biggest issue for goalies in health. andersen's averaging 60+ games over the last 4 seasons plus all his playoff games. over the same time period andersen is a .916 sv in the playoffs compared to gru's .914 sv.

none of what you said contracts my point that gru can't stay healthy and hasn't proven he can handle the workload of starter plus the playoff games. The season you're talking about gru only played 49 games total.

you have major reading comprehension issues. I said Anderson has been awful in must win games in the playoffs...do you know what the means, its not his career averages.
Record of 0-8 GAA of 3.49, Sv% .877....that is what Freddie has been providing the leafs over the past 4 years. He cant close in the playoffs, plus hes 31, hes not goign to get magically better either, aging curves exist and over time hes goign to decline even more.

SO you want to trade for a more expensive goalie who is 1 year away from UFA, then have to resign to even more than you are paying for now and who has a terrible track record over the 4 years in the playoffs

This is why you have no clue what you are talking about

i've watched the leafs enough to know that the loses aren't on him. andersen doesn't have to be better he just has to be healthy. gru as a ton of talent but it's useless on the ir.

so we are going to go with your eyes are smarter than facts and stats to back up how poorly he has consistently played in big games...maybe use logic to understand that is why Leafs fans are desperate to get rid of him, hes declining and cant get the job done.

Use your head for once and stop trying to be edgy going against what 99% of avs fans have been saying

I guessed at his contract, flat cap has me thinking most guys won't get as much as last year but Leafs could go higher say same as Muzzin
& Freddie is very good. The Leafs just hang him out to dry most of the time, he's top 5 in games played, shots faced & saves. I'm only trading him because he's popping up in rumors but I'd happily keep him. So how much just for Zadorov?

the problem is your stats are based on team performance and are a small sample size. leafs fans also wanted to get rid of kadri too. wonder how that worked out.

if the avs had andersen this playoffs instead of gru they'd probably be in the conference finals right now. having to go to francouz killed this team. all because gru blew out his groin on a routine save in game 1 of that series.

It's small and nitpicky, but Holl isn't going to get back a 3rd, and certainly not from a team like Ottawa who has no real use for him due to their crowded, younger blueline.

You could probably resign Zadorov for around $3.5m - 3.75m x 4 years. He's also team controlled for another 2 years so you can also QO him at $3.2m x 1 year if you want (his 1st season in Colorado he only played 22 games so he's only accrued 5 NHL seasons towards UFA, hence 2 years remaining of team control).

As for his price, other fanbases like NJ, Winnipeg, and LAK have agreed to trades involving a 2nd + 3rd package for him. Your 2020 2nd would definitely have to be included. Given that it's a reasonably high 2nd (#44) in this years draft I'd probably ok with an early 4th coming back instead of a 3rd if there was also tiny add to make up the difference (like swapping a 7th for 6th)

Zadorov
COL 2020 7th

for

TOR 2020 2nd
TOR 2020 4th
COL 2020 6th
