Thread: Central Division In Depth Analysis and Predictions

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheFlamingC</b></div><div>Thoughts? Apologies for the semi-mass ping but if you get a ping here, I just wanted your opinion on the breakdown of your team. Don't expect you to read it all though.</div></div>
I’d say:
Colorado
Winnipeg
St.Louis
Minnesota? (If they have Kirill)
Dallas
Chicago
Nashville
Arizona
Overall tho pretty solid

Thread: Columbus Blue Jackets signed Andrew Peeke (2 Years / $787,500 AAV)

Been a massive fan of his, hopefully he can get consistent NHL time this year.

Thread: I dont like Girard

Lol.
Yes Girard had a very tough time against Vegas, he wasn’t the only one. He’s not getting traded also, so if don’t want to get grilled like a steak I would recommend stop trading him in your ACGM’s.

Thread: Palmieri discount to chase a cup

Please.
However I don’t know about his fit on the second line with naz and burky. Burky is a sniper and naz at his best is a good finisher. So it would make sense to have a good playmaker there. And Palmeri while being a good player doesn’t really fit that mold.
Still would really like the add but I think he’s definitely going back to Long Island.

I’d love this for the Avalanche.

Thread: Alternate Universe

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Richard88</b></div><div>It would cost more than a 1st+3rd to move Johnson.

If EJ and Kuemper are healthy this year (BIG If's) and if Newhook can replace the production of Donskoi then I think what we have could be marginally better. Some offense will be lost from Saad not being replaced, but with a better defense (all the young guys improving + EJ + Kuemper) the team should still be competitive. I also like the 4th line of Helm -- Maltsev -- O'Connor/Compher, their energy will be a boost compared to the 4th line we ran in the playoffs (eg. Ranta-Soderberg-whatever)

If Sakic could replace Saad with a top 6 forward making <$4m then we'd be looking pretty strong.</div></div>

Yes there are a lot of big if’s when it comes to injures especially in net, and like you said with Newhook as well. You could even through Maltsev into the category has “risks”. But as you get closer and closer to the cap and you have to plan for big contracts to expire you have to take risks on players.

Thread: Alternate Universe

Yes I think this team is better than the team we have now, I am not saying the team we have now is bad it’s still good but a decrease from what we had.

Forum: Armchair-GMJul 30 at 7:32

Thread: Couple adds

I would really like Kase, I think he would be a great fit. Idk about Gudbranson though, especially at that cap hit we could probably get someone better.
Or because all of the D options are slowly fading maybe Joe has a trade in mind to round out the D core

Thread: Colorado Avalanche signed Tyson Jost (2 Years / $2,000,000 AAV)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>Does this mean we have to see him being traded in like every AVS ACGM for the next 2 years?</div></div>
Only outlandish ACGM’s will. But this contract is good and won’t be an issue at all. (Fingers crossed)

Forum: Armchair-GMJul 30 at 3:11

Thread: All but done

No, we aren’t done. We need another forward. Weather it is a top 6 or middle 6.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Florida_Man_Maroon</b></div><div>Kinda wished we didn’t sign him but clearly he wanted to play in Tampa and was willing to take a significant pay cut to do so. I think he’ll stick around for at least this year</div></div>

Just trade perry.

Thread: Finishing Up the Roster With 1 UFA Forward and 1 UFA D Man

If we could get that compher trade great.

Ryan Murray would be a great add if he can stay healthy, but the problem with adding him and Kuemper creates a pretty injury prone lineup which was our downfall two years ago. Just something to think about but if they both stay healthy two really solid adds.

Thread: Colorado Avalanche signed Darren Helm (1 Year / $1,000,000 AAV)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bestgoalie33</b></div><div>I mean, ok, but we should be using this money for someone to replace Saader...</div></div>
We still have some space to do that, if we don’t Sakic must be confident that Newhook or someone else within can.

Thread: Helm

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>moli92</b></div><div>I like it. 4C + PK time for cheap. Ive been signing Zajac in some of my AGMs but Helm fills the same role</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>he is a good replacement for the 4th line and PK. Maltsev Helm LOC works as a unit IMO</div></div>
Yeah I like this signing good value player.

Thread: Lindholm is the perfect fit in COL

He is a great fit but considering what we gave up for Kuemper we would have to give up Colorado’s entire population for Lindholm. It just wouldn’t be worth it

Forum: Armchair-GMJul 29 at 11:38

Thread: last moves

Personally as an avs fan I would absolutely LOVE if we got Kase. I understand his production has been down over the last couple years but maybe he could come into Colorado play on a line with Nuke and Jost and what revive his career because he still good upside.

Forum: Armchair-GMJul 29 at 10:19

Thread: more little additions

If we could have done that compher trade we would have done it a long time ago, Arizona definitely would do that.

However I really do like the addition of Hakanpaa he could be really good for the Avalanche.

InSakicWeTrust. Amen. Let’s hope he can add some good pieces.

Thread: Kuemper

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>Should’ve at least dumped Compher with him</div></div>
Definitely would have been nice, but I don’t know if that was ever on the table

Thread: Kuemper

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>For 1 year of Kuemper, that’s a big overpay</div></div>
It is. Joe was clearly desperate and Timmins and a first is a big price to pay. I was hoping maybe Kaut or Bowers could have gotten moved instead. Also maybe there is an extension coming.

Thread: Kuemper

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>moli92</b></div><div>You still have 5.7M to use</div></div>
Yes I am aware this was just my prediction with no moves, but it’s very likely the avs go and spend that

Thread: Where do the Avs go from here

I just hope we can get Saad back he was very helpful for us this year. Kuemper would be a good replacement however the injuries could be a big problem
