Thread: 2021 and 2022 drafts could end up being combined

In my opinion they should just push it back a year. Give them another year to develop before they are getting drafted. How many players play the first year anyways, 2 from this class are currently playing. Last year there was 3. There could be a lot of change in one year as well. I bet people are kicking themselves for letting zegras drop to 9, stutzle looked a lot better than byfield this year. One year can change a lot and most them of would be 18 entering the league then hopefully having a little more weight and causing less injury

Thread: Why everyone wanna trade graves

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Richard88</b></div><div>Lol, this Graves drama is pretty funny. He's not really on the block or anything, it's just that he (or Timmins) would likely be the guy moved if Avs want to make a change in their middle 6, given that we have 7 good Dmen.

As for this Jenner-Graves swap, Avs would accept, real nice trade that. It gets Avs a good 3C which is our biggest need.

I doubt Columbus would do this though, because they're thin up the middle now that Dubois is gone. They'd also have to expose Graves in the Expansion Draft unless they expose Gavrikov or go 4+4.</div></div>

I agree.

I don't think colorado is in any rush to trade graves. He doesn't look that good to start the season so far but with it being byram and timmins first year i think it is nice to have that extra depth guy who can play top4 if someone goes down with injury.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DirtyDangle</b></div><div>i wouldn't bet against hughes</div></div>

I've watched him and he's looking much better than his rookie year. But in a cap crunch he's going to get an 8 mil deal. Which is my main point with expiring contracts in two years they could have afforded him and the team would be fine

how so? Hughes isn't going to be demanding a major contract unless something drastically changes with his play

Thread: Kadri Needs To Go

i thought Byram looked good. You have to remember he's only ever played against maybe 19 year olds if they're overage in the WHL. He took a penalty early on because the first guy he had to defend against in his career was kopitar. That's not easy for seasoned defense. After that though he was smooth skating, jumping in the play. When he was out there with the big line they moved the puck effortlessly and he didn't look out of place at all.
But as for Kadri he looks very sluggish to start the season and with burky down that 2nd line has dissappeared. I think it might be time to think about breaking up rants and mack if burky i gonna be out for a while. The 2nd line needs something

Well i think in this scenario you'd let kadri walk. Plus imo dubois is a better player than newhook and it's not like dubios is old, he is only 22

Thread: Navigating expansion

this doesn't make much sense. The only reason you would make a package for them to take donny would be to protect the core 4 D of toews girard makar and graves. By trading graves the other 3 can be protected and there's no reason to give a 1st and kaut, which is a major over payment, to them to take donny. Odds are they'll take him anyways.

Thread: 2022 Outlook after Dubois trade

I was wondering how this could play out at the deadline this year. If there was a way to create a package that included donny over kadri it might be doalbe for next year. I think the main piece would still be newhook for sure and most likely a first with donny and maybe a B prospect?

clears 1.2 of space that's alright, gives us over 2mil of cap space for a 3c rental

Cole was such a dud i'm surprised someone wanted him. The guy had done his job and mentored the d core for the past 2 years. He was terrible in playoffs last year and has looked even slower this year

Let’s see the retention. If they end up retaining like a $1 million then it doesn’t make any sense</div></div>

i donno, even if we only save a mil that's a mil more to spend on a rental at the deadline, plus cole is a slug out there. Sakic is all about quick transitions and cole is not that. I don't know if Pateryn was playing in minny much but he is about to get burried here. 6th D mins max

Thread: Cole vs Pateryn

it's just moving a player out to make room for timmins and Byram. EJ is back so now it was getting crammed with him there. Hopefully we only retain the mil so we cleared a little space for an upgrade at 3C

I'd be all for trading for jenner but i don't like giving away graves at the moment. We have solid depth for defense right now and after trading zads i think we need graves size on the back end. If we could send a trade for donny somehow i'd be all for that but i doubt columbus wants that unless we really sweeten it

pump the breaks there bud. if you think they were contenders for the past 3 years you're a goof. Last year i'd say they were for sure, the two prior they barely made the playoffs 8th seed both years. Your comments just sound sour now trying to bash a team that has done a rebuild pretty well and is 'now' a top contender

That would be a deadly 1 2 punch if you had him 2C. Colorado definately has to add i think as you're pretty much giving two cap dumps in cole and belly
