Is this trolling Kevin Adams? I like the title anyway, and it would be nice if Okie could go on a cup run before he retires. He couldn't possibly have the avacado's to bring the same team back but younger a 4th time.

Avs decline (can't afford to re-sign Mitts for starters) and Byram simply isn't very good on the right so BUF would be foolish to do that.

That’s fat no from COL not only on value but you know the cap exists too.

If landy ends up on LTIR for whatever reason I would trade Byram in offseason for this Package

If they used Byram to get Mittlestadt I would be beyond disappointed, like way beyond. Okposo and Jokiharu have zero interest as players unless you are into collecting over priced low output low end players.

Byram is due for an extension and mittelstadt would solve the avs 2C problem for years. Either that or move manson somehow and give byram Mansons cap hit extension.

Byram’s ceiling is so much higher than Mittlestadt who just seems to be one of those guys that look ok on paper but his team never wins. I’d rather pay a lower price and get Frost from PHI.

Aw now frost would be awesome but what's the asking price. I saw trade on here for Laughton with retention and frost for behrens and 2 1st rds.

That’s ridiculous, for me Frost price is a 1st and kicker prospect not named Ritchie, Gulyayev or Behrens. Laughton imo you only trade for him if you are committed to Colton at 2C

So I think frost would be at 2nd line center. And Laughton on 3rd or 4th line. Most of my rosters I do on here I see from other people.

Colton has been awesome at 3C dumb to move him off if he isn’t move up and Laughton would be to expensive a piece to play at 4C, regardless PHI would be dumb to move either if they have a shot at the playoffs.

He might be expensive for 4th line. But 4th line needs upgraded

If that trade did happen the bottom six would be

Wood colton kovalenko
LOC Laughton cogs

Only people your swapping out is olofsson and kirivanta, but at least. It's upgraded.

Of course 2nd line center is a priority but they could also make colton 2nd line. Then avs just got find a middle six center. And upgrade the 4th line and backup goaltending.

Not when it plays 8 minutes a night, and as an organization if you are spending significant assets on the 4th line you failed. If they got healthy ever you can run 2 quality middle 6 lines because of all the wingers they have. I’d put priorities of what needs to be addressed as G, a 2 or 3C get one though, then the need drops way off but 4C particularly a good face off 4C, and a RD

I would say trenin and McLeod from devils would.be good for 3rd and 4th line center if they moved colton to 2nd line.

I like McLeod, Trenin is ok but doesn’t he play more wing.

He probably plays wing and center. But armchair has him marked as center so I went off of that.
