canes arent that interested in Joker

I was wondering if they would be more so now that it looks like Pesce will be traded.

There isn't a rumoured Brodie buyout. That's just idiots on this site spouting nonsense

He's not he's re-signing and kevyn adams isnt trading up for a guy who may not sign with the team 4 years from now. Especially since there's a good chance he wont be GM

Leafs decline.

They just said in the toronto sun that there is absolutely no truth in the Brodie buyout.

Nope. And I think Pesce gets extended in Carolina.

That’s okay for the Avs, moving down 12 spots is acceptable for another second plus Olofsson, but we’d prefer 2 seconds in ‘23.

corresction: Canes aren't interested in getting fleeced!

The buyout rumor's from Frank Seraspaghetti.
Also as an Ontarian The Sun is one of the biggest media jokes on the planet lol I would trust my dog for news before them

He should be extended. I just didn't think it was going that way.

A Brodie buyout makes absolutely zero sense. It's a terrible idea. Craig Button is just bitter he lost his job in Calgary to Treliving and he's trying to make him bad.

No one reliable has come out and said he's being traded. Just that it's possible should a deal not get done. I think that's just the usual public posturing. But so far sentiments lean towards a deal getting done. We go through this drama every year. Remember Malkin and Letang last year? Business as usual. Most do re-sign.

So 22yo D (former 11OA) + 6OA + 69OA for 13OA + 30OA + '24 high teens/low 20s - AZ passes with extreme prejudice.

True but also, who the hell is Frank Seraspaghetti? My guess some internet blogger. And his report is just made up speculation.

Im gonna start cutting and pasting this into ACGMs trying to dump Olofsson.

He is a terrible two way player, who's goal scoring does not offset the fact he is a complete defensive liability.

Looking at last years stats, His +/- was -23, 31st overall on the team. Digging deeper, his Offensive Point Share was 7th on the team at 3.6, but his Defensive Point Share was 22nd at 0.2, 15 total blocks on the year and 16 hits. Corsi relative was -2.0 (19th) and his Fenwick was 48.3 (20th). He had a favorable Oz start at 52% so that stats suggest he was getting slightly sheltered and/or PP time, where His GF/60 on the PP was 4.9 vs 2.7 at ES.

For comparison, constant fan least favorite Kurtis MacDermid has a DPS of 0.7. The Avs worst regular was Alex Newhook at 1.3. I'm not saying DPS is the end all be all, but it is a good barometer and it is clear that Oloffson is just a bad defensive player. The Avs do not target these types of players in trades.

Generally agree that COL doesn't target this type of player. The only thing is that COL's 2023 first is not terribly valuable to them unless it nets 1) a big-time 2C rental or 2) a decent 2C/2nd line forward at a decent price and extra pieces. In this case, I think Avs take a serious look if this were on the table.

the buyout rumor was fake

Seravalle. He works for TSN or Sportsnet I forget lol

He doesn't work for either now and is just a speculation guy. Nothing he says has any truth to it. He's like eklund.

I keep stumping for a trade down with someone like Chicago...grab 2 seconds and use one / trade one for a Yegor or Foegele (with a little retention) type of player. I genuinely think that with all the top end talent, finding harder to play against players to create a balance is going to be a priority.
