Thread: Avs pull a Kucherov and LTIR Landeskog

The team does expect Landeskog back during the season, so they won't be Kuching any Ovs this year.

I do think Toews is a possibility for them though. It's just complicated, as they'd need double retention. AA is likely off the table due to lack of an effective 200 foot game.

Thread: avs fans thoughts

Take out Foudy and I don't hate it. However, adding anyone with that type of salary most likely means Colorado has to move someone out. And I don't think they'll be willing to do that.

This is why I think they go after a Toews or Monahan. They'll be cheaper to acquire, and there's a chance they extend at a reasonable number, which would allow the team to keep their main pieces intact.

Thread: Trades and tanking

At least this Monahan to Colorado trade is a 2024 1st and not 2023. Still not close, but it's progress!

Thread: DeBrincat

I like the pieces coming to Colorado, but I can't see the Avs moving Johnson. He's just too big a part of the team, even if he's not what he used to be.

I'm also not sure how they make the cap work next season, unless they're willing to move on from Girard or Toews (and I'm not sure they are).

Thread: A Little Shakeup For The Wakeup

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>turtlemountain</b></div><div>The price on Toews is reported as a 2nd or 3rd. Jack Johnson doesn’t have much value at all, so let’s call that a 6th.

Sam Girard is significantly more valuable than a 2nd + 6th.</div></div>

Which is why I said they won't be offering Girard, lol.

I heard a 2nd and a 3rd, but please correct me if I got that wrong. Plus the Avs will need double retention, which is another asset to a third team.

It gets kinda expensive, but if they think Toews might stick around another yearvor two on the cheap, could be worth it. I like the fit, personally, but I know others think he's done.

Thread: A Little Shakeup For The Wakeup

I wouldn't be surprised if Colorado ended up getting both those guys, but they won't offer up Girard as part of the return. Maybe Olausson and the 2nd or something like that, which I think some Avs Fans would still hate.

Gotta go with Coga here. No chance either of those guys are on the table for Bjugstad. Fwiw, the Avs won't be able to offer up a fight on a new deal for him. Yotes can still sign him after the year.

I agree that it's a bit light, but I also think a 2nd is too high. Could add a mediocre prospect or make it the 2025 3rd, but that's really all the Avs can realistically do, seeing as how they're pretty slim on picks.

Thread: deadline

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LafayetteAvsFan</b></div><div>I like Bjugstad filling Helm's spot as 4C if Helm's done but I haven't seen him enough to know if he can PK like Helm. Can he?
I know JP has untapped talent. Worth a shot if the price is low enough. But if McDavid and Drai couldn't unlock it, I wouldn't hold my breath.</div></div>

Bjugstad PKs in AZ. He leads all their forwards in TOI . Is he as good as Helm? Idk. But he's certainly an option for the role, which is important.

In terms of JP over AA, I'm a believer in bottom six forwards being defensively responsible. JP is a very good even strength defender. AA is really bad. Even if you convince me the latter may bring more points, which I personally think is possible but certainly not guaranteed, I'd still be more in favor of the former.

Thread: deadline

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ArakinSkywalker</b></div><div>I don't know what the pricetag is on puljujarvi, plus AA is a rental here, where i think we'd want to keep puljujarvi and i donno what the money will be like next season.

Chicago isn't bringing out the best in anyone right now. I think AA is deep enough in his career where he knows he would be a role player and accept the role he gets on this team where younger guys like puljajarvi still want to show they can be top 6 players, plus his speed i think would work well with our 3rd line.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NMAvsFan</b></div><div>Agree about both players - Bjugstad would be a good depth addition but AA is a defensive black hole

How much would Edmonton as for JP? I know they've soured on him but he still has that 1st-round pedigree. If they'd do a "change-of-scenery" swap for someone like Kaut, that would be cool.</div></div>

I don't think the price for JP is very high. There have been. Rumblings that Edmonton went from thinking they'd need to attach an asset or retain on him to optimism they'll get something in return without retention. So my guess is Kaut or a 4th or something like that. My speculation (with nothing to back it) is that they may want to send him to the East though.

In any case, he does have some untapped skill, and I like him in a third line role more than AA. To me, AA is a top six guy who isn't good enough to be in the top 6. One of those no man's land players.

Thread: deadline

I can get behind Bjugstad, but I don't think Athanasiou is a guy I'd go after. He's fast but otherwise I don't see him as a worthwhile add.

How would you feel about targeting Puljujarvi for that spot? I think his skillset would mesh better with Compher and Newhook.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HKY101</b></div><div>As an Avs fan I would give up Newhook for Horvat even only for 1 year ( Cup or bust)</div></div>

As an Avs fan, I'm glad that you're also just an Avs fan and not the GM, lol. Newhook is not a guy you give up for a rental, and especially for a team that has no prospects that can replace him or his role going forward.

Swap him out in favor of Olausson and then maybe it's more realistic. I personally don't think Colorado will meet the asking price for a trade or his next deal. Horvat picked a nice time to have an outlier of a season.

He won't retire mid-season in the last year of his deal. He can just go on LTIR.

Thread: We Love Bruce and Bo

Come on now. You can maybe get one of those pieces for Horvat plus some other lesser assets, but all three is straight ridiculous.

Also, the Avs won't be trading Newhook at all unless it's some crazy, off the wall deal for a young, cost controlled 2C that no one has thought of.

Refreshing take. I have long said that people tend to focus too much on winning every trade and not enough on icing the best team you possibly can. At some point, you gotta break some eggs to make the omelet.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>Yeah. It really isn't bad at all. There are really only three guys I absolutely would not change on COL, and they are the obvious ones, Makar, Mack, and Rant.</div></div>

I think Landeskog is in there too. He's our Toews. The other guys just aren't the type of leader that a Cup team needs, and I don't think Huberdeau is either.

Thread: If the Avs drafted the other guy instead

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>Some of them probably make the team better, but overall I think COL drafted right.</div></div>

Yeah there are a couple whiffs (Bleakley over Pasta or even McCann being the biggest). But generally they seemed to hit when good players were available. JT Miller over Siemens would have been nice too, but I think the team really wanted that big D in that draft, so I went Oleksiak.

Anyway, obviously this played a large role in bringing the team a Cup, so I wasn't expecting it to be bad. Just wanted to see the roster in an alternate universe I guess. It's surprisingly good on paper.

Yes but maybe not this year. Especially since Landy and Nuke have been out so much. Hard to develop into a 2C when the other two thirds of a second line are out too.

I'm not really interested in those guys. I'm after someone like Turcotte or McMichael that is kinda buried and needs an out. Maybe Madden, but only if it's cheap.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MNKingsFan</b></div><div>I think as the previous person noted, this wouldn’t work for LA for the same reason CO would not want to trade Byram for a package of assets. Turcotte may have injury history but his upside is still high.</div></div>

But Colorado has room for Byram. Does LA have room for Turcotte? Personally I think he ends up being traded. My guess is that it will be for a bigger fish though.

Still, worth checking into to see what the thoughts may be.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>McSorley</b></div><div>Kings would consider trading Turcotte in a package for Byram, but not someone who is unproven at the NHL level.</div></div>

Byram certainly isn't happening. Aside from injuries, he's shown himself to be pretty much untouchable (unless you ask the Vancouver media, lol).

Personally I think Turcotte should be playing in Mullett Arena by now (having been traded for Chychrun), but it hasn't happened yet. But the main point is that I see where you're coming from by wanting to make a bigger add where he's one of the main pieces.
