Thread: Barrie on RW if Makar and Timmins are ready next year
Sorry man, someone needs to be the voice of reason/experience here. My assumption is that you are a huge fan who has never played the sport, or maybe you started playing as an adult, and that’s awesome if so. The problem is that a great puck moving defenseman does not make a great second-line RW. It doesn’t work like that. It would be nice if it did, as that would be much easier solution. I promise Joe Sakic (and every other GM) would figure out this solution for their team if it were realistic. Matt Nieto would be a better second-line winger than Barrie, and he barely makes the roster. Barrie will likely be the RD who will be moved for a true second-line winger at some point. He’s got enormous value to the team, as a trade chip or RD, but not a RW.

Thread: HUGE MOVES
If I'm the Avs I don't want RyJo on the team earning more than MacKinnon for the next several years, especially given that MacKinnon is a far more dynamic player. Also, if Nashville is having to shed salary to go after Tavares then why would Colorado give up so many assets to help facilitate this? Colorado doesn't need to do anything at this point in their life cycle. There will be far more beneficial moves they could make to get to the cap floor that do not involve losing Jost, Meloche, and a 1st. That trade really doesn't fit what Colorado or Nashville are trying to do right now unless the Preds intend to flip Jost, Meloche and the 1st for another high end asset. If so I get that for Nashville, but I still don't like it for Colorado.

Yak and Siemens won't be in the NHL next year imho.

Thread: Colorado Playoff Push
These trades are all pretty bad for one side or the other imho, but the trade with Edmonton is so far in Edmonton's favor that it is hard to take any of this seriously. Tyson Jost is likely to be the best player in the entire trade. The other prospects are all high quality prospects, including JC Beaudin. Your trade mentions Meloche, although he is not shown in the trade. Including him would be insane. You also give Edmonton the better picks. All of this for RNH and Patrick Maroon? Colorado needs to stick with their youth movement. If they were wanting to make a playoff push these are not the trades that would get them there. The quantity of trades would leave the entire organization shell shocked for the next three-months. Perhaps a reasonable trade for Evander Kane would yield some benefits, but the end result here is a team that isn't any better, with a decimated prospect pipeline, and a lack of picks to help rebuild when all is said and done.
