Thread: Tkachuk for fun

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LafayetteAvsFan</b></div><div>I know Tkachuk is special but why would you possibly trade Rantanen, who is fairly equal and already has chemistry with the rest of the Avs. This makes no sense.</div></div>

Tkachuk would bring so much more intangibles during playoff runs. Rantanan puts up numbers, but he can't battle in a corner without falling down. Guys like Landeskog, Kadri, Lehkonen & Nichushkin (Wilson, Oshie, Marchand, OReilly to name a few others) with grit to win a cup. Imagine having a top 6 with everyone that can dominate with skill and grit. They can adjust to play any style they need to win.

I would agree with that.

If Byram stays healthy and would continue how he started the season, losing makar wouldn't be as tough to swallow

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>moli92</b></div><div>I remember the Avs put him on the wing for a couple games years ago</div></div>

Yup, right before he cracked the roster and stayed.. he's a defensive liability but has great chemistry with mackinnon. Win/win.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheBoyDuddus</b></div><div>Think I'd pass on Compher at that price. 3.5m is a little pricey for what he brings, dont see much of a fit either.</div></div>

JT has a points per 60 only behind some guys named McDavid and Draisaitl. Am I saying he is that good, absolutely not. He is just buried on a good team. He has the work ethic to get .4-.5 pts a game if given the chance.

Thread: Back up goalie options

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>moli92</b></div><div>Bernier, Rittich, and Raanta would be my top 3 targets. I wouldn't give up much more than a 3rd for one of them though. Anyone with more term or RFA expiry doesn't make sense due to the expansion draft so I'd really only be looking at rental Gs</div></div>

Raanta is honestly who I'd like to see most. But since the yokes are still in a position to make the playoffs, I'm not sure they'd let him go. Especially with Darcy injured.

Bernier seems to be injury prone, otherwise he'd be a perfect puck up.

Thread: Back up goalie options

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>fedorov91</b></div><div>Bernier for a 3rd this year and a 4th next year</div></div>

He needs to get healthy before that can happen. I'd love to see him back with the Avs. Plus a fourth maybe a little high, have it conditional. If he plays x many games or win the cup, ect..

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Devil1122</b></div><div>You did not just say Blackwood is a back up goalie</div></div>

To Grubauer absolutely. He has decent numbers on a small sample size. He may be a star on the devils, but look where their at.

Thread: Back up goalie options

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gmonwy</b></div><div>Demko and Allen aren't for trade IMO. Demko is the future starter and Allen is playing amazing and could be useful for a cup run</div></div>

My fault on demko. I thought I read holtby had a no movement clause, he has a modified no trade clause. So I was thinking they would be losing demko for nothing in the expansion draft.

Allen, like I stated depends where the team may be at at the deadline

Thread: cant wait to see how this team turns out

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Foppa21</b></div><div>Losing players in UFA is a concern for every team. Trading young cornerstone defensemen for unproven centers isn't. We're not in a situation like Nashville and Columbus where they traded Jones and Johansen, and until we are, this doesn't make sense. If you want to talk trading Helleson, Timmins, or Barron? Sure, why not. But Byram isn't going anywhere.</div></div>

Like I stated though, they need to see more out of Turcotte first. It may be an option trading for a forward the same caliber and age.

Thread: cant wait to see how this team turns out

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Foppa21</b></div><div>No it doesn't. Avs have Newhook coming, so there's literally no need for Turcotte.

Avs need to see more out of turcotte first, then i can see it. They have newhook coming yeah but they will be loosing Kadri and Saad, maybe even burakovski within 2 years. 2 young promising prospects would be a nice replacement. And with Helleson, Barron, Timmons being possible replacements with in 2-3 years... makes it a little easier to let go of Byram.</div></div>

Keep goligoski, send Crouse. Crouse is a pain in the ass to play against. I'd like to see him the Avs bottom 6. Trade looks good though, call up Joe tell em what's up.

It's a cap dump for someone they can buy out in the off-season. And they get a 1st rounder for it basically.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AustonMatthews3443</b></div><div>Agreed.

Neither would the leafs, unless they are clearing cap space to make another trade. They aren't going to trade roster players for draft picks.</div></div>

Thats what I was going for... it was rumored they wanted to make a move to clear up space for a potential trade.

I like it. Kane comes into add scoring and veteran leadership. Chicago i think gets fair package back. I'd rather see kadri+prospect go instead of Burakovsky.

Thread: Swapping stars

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Richard88</b></div><div>Put Kadri at 3C.

Mackinnon - Eichel down the middle would be awesome, I would do this trade value-wise. That said, it might not be a good look to trade a guy you recently extended long-term as an RFA when Buffalo is where you're burying them.</div></div>

I couldn't put myself to put Kadri on the 3rd line again ha! If we got an elite center, I would be a lot easier loosing compher and Kadri to make cap space. Plus knowing Newhook is coming soon to fill in that 3C role. They way Jost has been playing, 3C would be a deserving role.

As for moving Rantanen. It's business, he proved that himself holding out last year for a payday.
