Swap Ritchie for a 1st

I think if that was the offer Calgary would look at other potential partners because Behrens is just not that appealing of a prospect and there is another year of RJ's salary they are eating.

I would say swap Behrens for a 1st

Obviously I would love that but unless they are for sure resigning Lindholm I think that that might be a little too pricey for Colorado!

No way. The Avs aren't giving up Ritchie at all. Not for a one year rental. But if I'm wrong and they do, I can pretty much guarantee there won't be a first on top of it.

As much as I enjoy antagonizing the Leafies, they aren't going to consider buying until the TDL and they need a 3C, a couple defense and possibly a goalie. They can't afford to pay a 1st for Tanev.

Don’t think the Avs want to move Ritchie for a rental.

Behrens has top 4 potential, and RyJo is still on pace for 20 goals he is still a decent middle 6 guy as long as you aren’t looking to play at a pace like the Avs. I wouldn’t be opposed to Ritchie if somehow COL could re-sign Lindholm.

Close enough to get talks going but light on both trades.



No swap Behrens for a 1st.



Then the Avs won't be getting Lindholm.

Never said the Avs would be getting him. In fact, I have said they wouldn't be acquiring Lindholm many times on both this site and others. Some team will most likely offer more than Colorado will.

Would you give up your organizations top prospect, who happens to also project to fill their biggest position of need, for a one year rental? Not to mention add a draft pick on top, which basically ensures you can't replace such prospect any time soon? It doesn't make sense, and I don't see it happening.

For a proven 1st line center I know I can extend I certainly would give up a prospect comparable to Ritchie + more. And no it doesn't matter if Lindholm would be behind McKinnon in Colorado he's still a proven very effective 2 way center. On top of which he's a good 1st line RW too. I don't need to replace that prospect anytime soon if I have 2 1st line capable centers already.

I would too. However, that's not the situation in Colorado. They know with 100% certainty that they cannot extend him. That changes the game in a way where Lindholm to Colorado falls apart (unless the price is lower).

Thanks for saying it man, I’ve been banned for the last month and it’s been painful seeing all these firsts going for Tanev, now I’ve seen a fair share of awful trades for Tanev too but regardless I’m back to tell them if it’s an overpay or flames decline

Lol, I just got back from a ban too.

Oh man that sucks, cap friendly seems to be very sensitive can pretty much just say “team” declines or “team” accepts without getting a ban these days

I think you have to get flagged by someone for the mods to step in. And the rules are so wide sweeping they can ban you for saying pretty much anything.

The problem is too many people can't pass the "South Park Test".

The South Park Test - Can you laugh off the blatantly offensive, and extract someones true intent.

Really? I guess that makes sense just I’ve been banned a couple times and it’s hard to believe I’ve been reported each time but maybe
