Thread: Could Mayfield Get a 1st

Been wondering what NYI would want for him. I have been doing a few unpublished ACGMs getting him on the Avs because I think he'd be great with Girard. I've been trading Gross, Murray and this year's 3rd for Mayfield. Also interesting to see a number of Avs fans commenting. Maybe I'm not the only one thinking it'd be a good idea. Toews would be there to help him get acclimatized to the team.

Thread: Jakob Chychrun to LA

If they need an LD, Girard's name was on the block for the Eichel trade. Now he's playing really well and on a pretty good contract so his value might be pretty decent right now too.

Thread: Eichel

This is why I think the Rangers really are the front runners for Eichel. They can afford to give up what the Sabres are looking for in value. How many other teams have some pretty empty cupboards if they give this up? Rangers give this up and are pretty much unharmed for the future. Plus I just think Eichel would be stoked to be a Ranger.

I kinda see it the other way actually haha! I mean after 3 days of 'not sleeping' and many nose touches during his "EPIC" interview, I think playoff leader Kucherov proved that kind of thing may NOT be a problem. Not like we're talking Kostitsyn brothers here.

EDIT: I don't think it's going to be his last line wherever he goes...

Thread: How do Vegas fans feel about this proposed Kuznetsov trade

With the high end talent on their back end, I think Johansen as a bottom pair D man would be really helpful.

As for people saying is it a good idea? Kuzy on a team high on the list of teams to win the cup is probably different than Kuzy on a team that's aging and fizzling out. Between Patches and Stone, it'd be hard to see him not be a 70 pt guy regularly again. Also, I bet being a professional millionaire athlete employed in Las Vegas is fun.

Really? I mean I know it's been a tricky year for scouting but the guy often touted as going 1st overall isn't projected to be elite? Why is he touted as going 1st overall? Where are the elite defensemen in this draft?

Guys like Dahlin, Makar and Power need their own team to truly grow and be dominant. They need the ice time and power play time to excel. Having two of them on the same team will limit them.</div></div>

Not a bad point. But since Eichel is probably out this year, I could see them picking Beniers or Eklund if that's the case.

Thread: Jack Avs

Patient Joe is not giving up that many futures for Eichel. Doubt he is even THAT interested in him. Kadri won't waive his NTC for Buffalo. Avs need Byram, Newhook and two 1st rounders more than Eichel.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>Makar isnt signing that,

And that Eichel deal makes 0 sense</div></div>

Agreed! The lowest a Makar bridge could be is 6-6.5. As much as 1 -2 punch with Mack and Eichel would be insane, and as much as I could see Buffalo wanting that value for him, overall this trade hinders the Avs in terms of depth and cap space. Both will be huge in the next few years.

Thread: Colin White for a Tyson Jost package deal plus other trades and signings

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ArakinSkywalker</b></div><div>I just don't see us giving up on jost after he finally found a home as our 3C. Odds are Graves or donny are taken in the expansion.

Soda's in Sweden! I totally missed that! That makes sense. I traded Graves to get something for him and I think it'd be worth it for Buffalo to protect him as McCabe is still injured / might walk in UFA. I see them protecting Joki, Dahlin and Graves. Just because Risto is sounding like a cap dump to get rid of and Miller has declined but that could be the Buffalo effect. So I think the Sabres don't mind watching either of those two go for nothing. They have the 1st overall pick + picks, prospects and cap space galore even with Skinner.

If the avs wait until after the Exp draft to sign Landy, they can protect Donskoi and Jost. So I assumed Seattle would take the cheaper contract between Compher and MacDonald.

I'm happy to keep Jost as the Avs 3C, it'd be nice to see Newhook there too I think he slots well between Val and Donny. I've felt Jost's time was limited once they drafted Newhook.

Honestly, not a bad call! Probably would cost more than what I'm looking to give up for White. Would be worth it though. Zona selling him at all?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>Give me Donskoi</div></div>

But how is that fair? Donskoi has over 60 pts in his last 110 or so games. White has 40 in his last 100. That's only 10 less games with 20 less points. Donskoi is bigger with the cheaper contract. Plus Donskoi and Erik Johnson are kinda salary cap placeholders for the Mack & Makar raises of 2023.

Thread: Re-Signed Dougie and OEL Trade

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockyluv21</b></div><div>Skjei's play really rebounded with Pesce, especially on the penalty kill, where he was elite all season before the Tampa + Kucherov monster ate up the entire team.

Fair enough, if Skjei is a sturdy Top 4 D + Bokk develops into a middle to top 6 player + one of those 2nd rounders turns into a player that contributes significantly over a few seasons (be it via trading the pick or drafting someone) then I'd say it'd be worth it. I think OEL is gonna be on the upswing on whatever new team takes him. (Especially a place like Carolina.) So I can see people declaring Zona the losers of any OEL trade 1 year from now.

Thread: Re-Signed Dougie and OEL Trade

Dougie's gotta REALLY like Carolina to take 1.4mil less than Pietrangelo did. I don't think you're signing Coleman because Dougie's gonna bug you to add at least half of that to his cap hit.

The OEL trade is tricky. In a way it does check off a lot of what ARI needs, multiple Dmen who can play now, a prospect from the 1st round and a couple of decent draft picks. On top of that, a lot of people see OEL's stock to have taken a sharp hit. So I'd say it's fair valuewise, but I'HATE that return if I was trading OEL.

No ones STOKED about Gardiner or Skjei (maybe Skjei), 2nd round picks are meh when trading your team's 8mil defenseman and another trade for Bokk seems likely to have a detrimental effect on his development and confidence.

Thread: Oel23

Don't know if it's an unpopular opinion but I don't see OEL's drop in defensive numbers as a result of being past his prime. I see it way more as just general unhappiness in Arizona. Only two years removed from prime Corsi & Fenwick #s. If anyone has a chance at a career turn around / refreshing it's him.

He needs to play in a new system, Zona's system has ran it's course and people are just flying past a system they've all long figured out and one that where really only Barry Trotz can bring through multiple rounds in the playoffs (with his own stylistic spin on it obviously). Could be wrong because like a lot of others, I don't watch Zona that much. Last year in the playoffs vs the Avs though, they were pylons.

Also, I do like the double Larsson pairing.
