Thread: DNVR Choke Me A Little Fam
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>M96N29</b></div><div>Could be surprised, but I agree that the Avs aren't likely to move roster players. Most moves just end up creating a hole elsewhere. If I were COL, I'd want to have a pretty good understanding of their shot at extending both Byram and Toews before I thought about moving Girard. Maybe they already feel confident about that, but I just don't see us moving a D-man. The Johansen trade allows us to add forward depth now at reasonable cost. Likely COL's FO is viewing the 2023 first and maybe a prospect as the most movable assets if another trade is needed.</div></div>

I don't disagree that moving roster players will be hard, it just gets tight if you sign Byram to the 6x6 i did here. You'd have to real cheap on a 2LW (or however you think of it) to make it all work with that contract in there.

Thread: Buras In now what
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WellIDK</b></div><div>Hopefully they go after a left wing to play on the 2nd line (like Ehlers, Gusev). I know Sakic said that they felt comfortable with Jost playing 2C the upcoming season, and that he'll likely move to the wing after adding Kadri. But I think it's best if Jost can play centre for his development, so 3C makes sense imo.

Kadri had his best seasons playing with Marner as 2C. With Jost and Bura on the wing, you have 2 pretty unproven players with Kadri, which probably result in disappointing production from the 2nd line. (I know Gusev hasn't proven himself at the NHL too, but I think he'll likely has a better chance at reaching 50 points next season.)

Barberio won't be traded until later this season. I expect Graves to start at the Eagles (signed a 2-way contract for a reason). Either Byram or Rosen will start on that 3rd pair with Connauton or Barberio because two unproven players is a bit too risky. Barberio and/or Connauton will likely be traded when Cole is back Byram/Rosen have proven themselves in the NHL and Graves will be recalled</div></div>

Totally agree, what do you think it takes to land either?
