Thread: Going All in
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Will27</b></div><div>Troll post. Jenner has never had more then 50 points, I get he means a lot to CBJ but no team is trading a 1st, a recent 1st, and Bowen Byram for him. Like how out to lunch are you?</div></div>

Um, no. Jenner is definitely a 2C and signed to a great contract for multiple years, unlike Lindholm. That 2nd line of Lehky-Jenner-Nuke would shutdown any teams 1st line.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Will27</b></div><div>Avs decline first. A recent first, a recent second, and an additional second is already a hearty overpay. Add in that RYJO is out scoring Bjugstad, plus a 5th? Thanks but no thanks avs don’t even consider this.</div></div>

Ryjo is a capdump, Bjugstad is a capable 4C making 2m less. And that isn't even the main piece of the trade. Ingram and his contact of under 2m to back-up Georgiev whose been shaking is the main course.

Thread: Cup Contenders and Room for Toews Next Year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Avsfantrumpetman</b></div><div>Except we don't have a reserve Forward on this team. Also, that cap space goes down to 3 mill if Landeskog returns. A lot of unknowns for next season.</div></div>

Avs usually only carry 21 skaters. Macdermid fills in forward or defense in a pinch if on the road. While at home, the Eagles are just down the highway.

Landeskog returning could be a curveball, might be why the Avs haven't re-signed Toews yet, want to see how Landy's recovery goes the first couple months here after surgery. I personally think he's done sadly. Lonzo Ball had the same surgery months before Landeskog and he can barely complete basic tasks without pain. There's been reports that his team's management don't think Lonzo will ever play again.

Thread: Something Like This to Fill out Roster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>That’s definitely not the answer. Girard’s value using Hronek at the very least not to mention what Newhook just got is at least a 1st and 2nd, Olausson is a recent 1st so you want to trade the equivalent of 4 1st rd picks and a 2nd for a winger and a 3C? Yeah I’d rather not do that at all.</div></div>

Gotta give to get. Konecky is a 30-30 guy, and Laughton at 3 years for 3m is good for a 3C who can PK well. Both were 1-2 in TOI among Philly forwards last year. But also below reply...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sk540</b></div><div>Is that not a huge overpay on COL's side? I'd accept that in a heartbeat if I'm the Flyers just for Olausson and the 2 firsts. MacDermid's an expiring and Ill take Girard now with Provy and maybe Sanheim gone.</div></div>

Maybe Philly retains some on Konecky or you take out a 1st/OO, but the main idea is there. Neither of those changes would affect the layout of the roster for this coming year.

Thread: Trading everyone fun not serious
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Aaron_Dell_Pickle</b></div><div>Dach played is best hockey at C this season, and at 3.362 for the next 3 years thats really good value for a lower end 2c who could develop in a 1c.

His progression curve in one season is actually insane, and if he keeps improving like he did last season he could end up as a high end 2c at the end of next season.</div></div>

Played his best hockey at C? Dude was 6th on the habs in face-offs taken. Monahan and Drouin took more in less or equal games. Heck even some guy named Alex Belzile only took 22 face-offs less than Dach, and he played in 27 less games. Not to mention Dach was a pathetic 38.3% on face-offs, which ranks 4th lowest in the league among players who took at least 225 face-offs (out of 167 players).

And if he could end up a high end 2C like you claim (or even develop into a 1C like you claim), why would the Habs trade him? Answer, they wouldn't trade him.

If Dach is your "centre" piece for Byram, 30 other teams outbid you.
