Thread: Can it be done
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>leafs101</b></div><div>Open to suggestions on it, but I think a rental 2nd pair D + starting goalie + 3C + 1st + 2nd would be close to fair. What if the 2nd round pick is removed?</div></div>

Try removing the 1st and Jenner....

Honestly there’s no trade between Columbus and Toronto. All leaf fans want Korpisalo, Anderson or Jenner and Savard or Jones. Then you ask for all 3 of them just for 1 player.... said player would be Columbus’s 2nd line center..... Columbus isn’t making that deal, there’s other players who would do just as good for a heck of a lot less. As I’ve said, at this point there is no trade between Columbus and Toronto, maybe closer to the deadline if Savard won’t resign, you can get him as a rental.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Trevor31lv</b></div><div>I think there's 2 things I tend to do when evaluating this team's future.

A) Over stress about the 2022 offseason and worrying about having everyone resigned and fitting it into the cap.
B) Undervalue internal improvement. While I expect players to get better, I basically haven't had any thought about things such as PLD developing into a star or PPG player, Tex rounding out his game to be a REAL 1st line winger that could play Robin, Bemstrom becoming a real threat (almost counting him out at this point cause he seems to struggle in this system. Though the same happened to Bjorky and look at him now). Obviously not all these young guys are gonna turn into stars, but I'm kinda discounting how high the ceiling for some of them is.</div></div>

2) some options will have to be made. I think players like Savard, Murray, Folingo and Nash will have to either take a discount to stay or will get moved. We will also have to decide, Korpisalo or Merzlinkins and go with a cheaper backup. Also if that’s the contract Anderson wants he can go, no need to overpay him (tbh I bet he’s gone anyways) all of that will open up a good amount of cap space for players.

B) players will develop, torts has a structured defence and the go to is the dump and chase, but he also lets players run with it if they have the skating lanes. I think with a little more confidence players will tend to hold onto the puck more through the neutral zone, they won’t just dump and forcheck. With adding the 2nd line center we can move Jenner down to the correct line for him, instead of putting him as the 2nd line center.

C) the only thing I’d be concerned about is the PP it’s been so bad, we really need to get a better puck mover out there, I was hoping Nyquist would be that but he hasn’t been.

A) Columbus has a chance to be a good team in a few years. It will all depend on the development of young players lien Texier, Foudy, Bremstrom, Peeke. I’m guessing we could be a 90-100 point team.

B) yes, there is a chance of it. We were one of the youngest teams in the bubble. If we add an offensive minded 2nd line center would could very easily become a contender. Adding a player like Cirelli who could be a 1a/1b with PLD would be a huge step forward.

C) Yes. They just need to figure out a consistent 2nd line center who can put up points. We have solid depth and a 1st line who’s starting to look like a 1st line.

Tbh I think you’re trying to put this team in a category of being a contender today. We aren’t a true contender today, we also have one of the youngest teams in the league. Let’s see some development in them and what some of the prospects can bring.

Also a player if love to see get a shot at 2nd line center is Stenlund. He was good on the 4th line and with his size he could be a decent 2nd line center with players like Atkinson and Foudy on his wings.

Thread: Avalanche Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Trevor31lv</b></div><div>Haha, basically all the feedback I've gotten has been Kamanev to Russia, Not liking Z to division rival, Nieto costing too much, and slight adjustment to Burakovsky's contract. All that stuff makes sense to me. I might redo this after playoffs with that stuff considered plus some other changes.

I thing I'd really like as a move for them would be signing Hall to a 1 year deal. It'd give them an extra boost for this year while they still have cap flexibility before paying guys, Hall would benefit statistically which would help him get a better deal next offseason, and he could go for a cup. Seems like a 1 year. 8-9 million deal for him would be a perfect fit for both sides imo, but i don't think it's realistic cause stuff like that just doesn't happen.</div></div>

Yeah I agree, I think a guy like Toffoli is on their radar. I also wouldn’t put it past Sakic to sell high on Graves and package him for someone like Domi or Rackell. The nicest part about being an Avs fan now is they literally don’t have to make a move and can expect to get better from internal growth.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Trevor31lv</b></div><div>Good feedback. I got the same said to me about Burakovsky when I posted the deals in a discord server. I think I'm just overvaluing him cause I really like him as a player. What you said about Zadorov should be a given, the division thing just didn't come to mind since the teams aren't big rivals.

As for the other 2, I like the Avs cause they're fun as hell to watch, but I'm not too knowledgeable with those guy's situations. It just felt like Namesnikov was a rental to me even if they've got some extra cap space. Wasn't aware of the Kamenev situation. What's up with that? Thought he was supposed to be a pretty decent prospect. Is he not developing/needs to more or is there just not room on the team for him to crack the top 12?</div></div>

Kamenev has had some fluke injuries the past couple years which disrupted his development a lot. Now that the Avs are contenders I dont think theres a spot in the starting roster for him to prove himself and get back on track anymore. Hes probably better off going to Russia to get more ice time and could come back to the NHL in a few years
