Thread: bye Saad
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ArakinSkywalker</b></div><div>You have to think Sakic has a deal in the works or something. This lineup probily isn't far off of the actual roster coming into next season right now and it's very underwhelming, much weaker that last season</div></div>
I think so too. I’d have to imagine Sakic wants to bring in somebody to replace Saad (though Saad’s playoff impact is irreplaceable within the current free agent class that is remaining) and his production so to me it’s either Tatar (though he sucks in the playoffs which might be a deterrent for Sakic), Kase, or very unlikely Palmieri. I also think he will be hesitant to putting either Newhook (he’s too young and unproven) or Compher (lack of production) on the 2nd line.

Thread: Bye Grubi
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>moli92</b></div><div>It wouldve been nice to keep him - I like your trade better than the real one. At least the Avs have enough RHD prospects that its not the end of the world. Barron had good numbers in his AHL games last year and Helleson is looking decent too</div></div>
Agreed. I believe Sakic got MacDermid in case of the scenario that played out today: Getting a replacement for Timmons in case Grubauer signed elsewhere since his negotiations were reportedly not going well and having Timmons as trade bait (+More grit). I think Barron is going to replace Timmons role in the the next two years and I think the Avs prospects are going bring the team back up to the point where they were last year over a period of 3 years or so. I hope Sakic works it out, it would suck if we came out of this great period without a cup (or even a finals appearance).
