Not near enough for Sturm. Grier himself said it would take a special offer to get Nico out of San Jose and Grier isn't using a retention spot on a 2mil/year player.

Ok what have you heard and where did you hear it?

If they aren't close to an extension come deadline time maybe.

All three teams decline. SJ seem high on Sturm (too high to trade him bar an overpay) but he was pretty poor at times to at best average imo for the Avs so can't see them wanting him back, and definitely not enough to give up on Meyers yet. Bottom 6'ers just aren't getting that kind of return. Detroit will want a massive overpay for Larkin and even if they'd accept that the Avs wouldn't do it as Larkin would be a rental.

I don't pay much attention to Colorado. How does Newhook look?

Yeah well according to Khan, They're close to a deal. And it should happen within the next 2 weeks.

No because Wings insider Ansar Khan said that Detroit and Larkin are really close. And the deal could be done before they resume the 2nd half of the season.

He looks like he's starting to put things together and that's without having played with his intended wings this year.

If we had to move Larkin we could do a lot worse

Sturm is setting the culture for the young guys. He's also been very effective in all situations. He'll definitely wear an A next year.

Detroit isn't trading Larkin.

Good luck to him and the Sharks then but I certinly wouldn't be overly happy to see him back in an Avs uniform, especially at that price.
