Thread: Claim Bjornfot and slash or Raanta
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PuckLuck_77</b></div><div>I'm 98% certain LA will. Similar to the ****emo situation earlier, they will get him if only to place him straight down to Ontario (if no one else puts in a claim) for LD depth, which they are sorely lacking right now. Plus they're trying to make Ontario a team that can compete for a Calder.</div></div>

Lol on the censoring of a guy's name. How silly.

Didn't he clear again in Vegas though? I know he played games for their AHL team. If so, then I don't think LA can just claim him and stash him in the AHL.

I could be wrong here. I'd need to look at the transactions and the rules. I thought that was where things stood though.

Edit: He played AHL games for Vegas but no waivers were listed. Maybe it was conditioning or something. Regardless, my point of posting was that the team should put in a claim. If it works out, then great. If someone else takes him before it gets to Colorado, then it is what it is.

Thread: THE REAL OFF BOARD AVS DEADLINE DEAL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>eltica3</b></div><div>as an avs fan I dont think the avs do this, but this trade is more based on the fact that people keep saying mcfarland liks guys with term and is gonna go off board. that being said I wasnt sure if the caps would demand compensation for the retention. and I dont think swapping kuzy for ryjo makes the avs worse.</div></div>

You don't get compensated for retention on a guy who is overpaid and still will be after eating half his salary. It's why Colorado got Johansen for free.

A straight swap makes some sense. I have thrown it out there in the past. Maybe it can he plan d or e or whatever. It's certainly not plan a though, and there should be no add from the Avs for the retention.

Thread: sid and jake to the avs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Subbanator7667</b></div><div>And Behrens 2nd round pick and Olaousson former 1st round pick. Both aren't worth their draft position anymore but I'd still say combined is a 1st for sure</div></div>

Definitely agree that Olausson's value has dropped. Behrens has probably maintained his worth. Kovalenko has certainly exceeded his draft spot and should be worth a fair amount now that he's under contract.

Regardless of what those three combined are in terms of picks, it's a monster price.

Honestly, if Crosby to Colorado were to happen (I don't think it will), I would expect the price to be a lot lower than what his actual value is. I assume he'd be flexing his NMC heavily, and that Pittsburgh would first and foremost look to do right by him. They'd get some good assets but not full value.

All that said, I'm not gonna think too much about it until there's an actual reason to do so. He's not moving by the tdl, so we have all offseason for these.

Thread: Trying something different
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Marked_Difference</b></div><div>Why not go hard at AZ for both Dumba and Bjugstad? it will cost because AZ does not want to part with Bjugstad but the two players fill the need and don't break the cap. Boogy has 1 more year on his contract so there is that to consider.

Same overall package just add Bjugstad and the COL 24 1st. gives the needed cap relief an extra year of a quality middle six center and the minute munching, right shot, toughness on the blue line that Colorado is in need of.

Breakdown
Dumba &amp; Bjugstad = COL 24 1st and Olausson
Johansen 8MM cap relief = 25 3rd

Dumba and Bjugstad / for/ 24 1st, 25 3rd, Olausson, and Johansen</div></div>

I don't see Bjugstad as the best fit for Colorado. Like the player but I just think he'd either be playing out of position (i.e. too high in the lineup) force someone like Colton into the same. That's just me though. I know some folks feel differently.

Thread: avs looking to reacquire kerfoot per dater
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jded</b></div><div>I’m an ANA fan. I had the same initial reaction to seeing Ritchie for Henrique.

That said, if the price is Henrique for a first (very reasonable considering the Lindholm/Monahan deals), is last year’s late 1st round pick all that much different from just offering this year’s late first rounder? Especially if a second is going back in return for the former? Wondering if it’s just the endowment effect for the reaction we both had, because Calum likely shouldn’t be seen as that much more valuable that a ‘24 1st right?</div></div>

Button has Ritchie as a AA prospect and one of the best affiliated prospects in the entire league. You can make an argument he's too high on Ritchie, but it illustrates that he is more valuable than the 2024 1st, and probably by a lot tbh.

In my opinion, Ritchie is completely untouchable for a rental. He would only be made available a young and proven 2C. You guys have a bunch of those, but I don't think you want (or have and reason) to move them.
