Thread: Incomplete maybe need Avs or Ducks fans help
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DavidNola985</b></div><div>Look at his minutes play per game it's low. He is mainly used on PP and when the need to win a faceoff. He is just too slow to keep up with the speed the Avalanche wings play with even on 4Th line with Cogs and Parise... If he had wings that were slower he would be fine IMHO. No way Avs going to retain they would give a team a pick to take him worse case and that is likely what happens.</div></div>

Fair enough mate. Right linemates could make a difference, or right role. Has he been tried as a net front guy with two skilled puck moving wingers (who can also shoot)? If he's too slow to keep up with the pace of the game, it is what it is, but perhaps he can be utilized properly with the right guys.

Anaheim sends Adam Henrique to Detroit (retaining 50%), then Detroit retains 25% (50% of remaining) and ships him to Colorado, along with James Reimer (50% retained) in exchange for Ivan Prosvetov and a 2026 2nd round pick (normally retention garners a 4th, maybe a 3rd, but retaining on two players earns a 2nd plus return goalie depth.)

For getting Henrique at 25% of his hit, Colorado sends Anaheim a 2025 1st round pick (better than a 2024, I think, as Anaheim lacks a 2025 2nd round pick so far, spread the picks around a bit) ... the part I am questioning is if there is anything needed to entice Verbeek further to make this trade. Ducks fans, is a 2025 1st enough? Avs fans, is there an unsigned college player of the B grade variety that could be added to sweeten it for Anaheim?

Col:

Georgiev - Reimer

Toews - Makar
Girard - Manson
Byram - Johnson

Drouin - MacKinnon - Rantanen
Lehkonen - Henrique - Nichushkin
Parise - Colton - O'Connor
Wood - Johansen - Cogliano

Detroit runs with Lyon and Husso the rest of the year, gets the 2nd round pick, and Prosvetov to ride the AHL. Might make it some year as a backup, never know.
