True but they did have Broberg who has played both sides and would be a fine fill in


I don't see Broberg being apart of Edmonton's team once this TD is over. He'll be part of a bigger trade IMO

Are they gonna go for Allen 75% retention? Or Dreidger?


I hope its Kahkonen over Allen. Chrona is getting the start tonight over Kahkonen (probably benched for trade-purposes). There are other guys I like more: Lindgren, even Driedger with some retention over Allen would be preferred.

Stecher and a 7th to EDM from ARIZ for a 4th


2027 4th haha makes sense. We have a lot of picks in the meantime, and it's easier to pry away a pick four drafts away.

Aren't they in a bit of a pickle with the 50 contract and 90 reserve limit also?

I don't think it's that big of a pickle. A bunch of guys have contracts dropping off. Some being traded. Picks traded to add young players like they have done with Durzi, McBain, Smith.
Picks are the easiest currency to carry and trade. No cap hit involved. No emotional attachment to a selection yet. Can trade them for players or other picks. No-one ever does not want more picks.
When the reserve list gets tight they can trade picks and prospects for players or more picks.

I say he does it. San Jose is yet to discover what a RHD looks like post Burns and Karlsson, and they can flip him to either Seattle or Anaheim next year.

Wouldn't be surprised if he came to AZ either. He likes it here, and the staff love his motor.

Well actually, it cost the Avs newly signed Hanzel. They did get Graham Sward back as well, but I really like Hanzel. So basically, Nashville gets Hanzel and a 3rd and Colorado gets Trenin and Sward.

Again, I really like Trenin in Colorado, but Nashville wins. Also, what is Nashville doing? Buying or selling?

Yes.

Really the bottom of the west is wide open. Calgary added players, so they can persist, but each case was a downgrade with an expiring ufa going out. They’re kind of the only threat for the last slot. It seems stl, Seattle, wild are either selling or chilling. I think stl welcomes the time to play Bolduc, and snuggerud if they can sign him, and see what they can expect for next season.

We liked Hanzal too; but we needed depth for this year's playoff run. I did not expect us to go in on Trenin so this is a pleasant surprise; he might be the 4C we need or allow O'Connor to move into that role. Avs fans/insiders are suspecting that there must have been an injury or two that is more serious than initially thought otherwise the pressbox will be full of good forwards that are HS

Avs are basically going with 2 elite scoring lines and 2 very good forechecking/hitting lines and a highly active defense core.

This will really help them in road matchups, where we struggled to get any production beyond the top line and have an average record.

Drouin-MacKinnon-Rantanen (or Nichushkin)
Lehkonen-Mittelstadt-Nichushkin (or Rantanen)
Wood-Colton-O'Connor (or Trenin)
Cogliano (or Kiviranta)-Trenin (or LOC)-Duhaime

Toews-Makar
Girard-Manson
Johnson (or Jones)-Walker

I saw and now I’m really freaked out. I guess I need to take back the mean things I said about Kakko.
