Fantilli is rated a 93
Bedards highest (5 reports) is an 83
“Generational talent” is even written in the reports.

The tool seems pointless.

Thread: 2025

i'm sure they'd go their usual route of getting a good back up and making him into a starter over paying geo 6 mil and letting byram go. The return would have to a major over pay for them to move byram at this point and i don't think anyone is willing to give up that much. There's other ways to make this work over letting a top 2 guy go

At 7.7 there's room for Toews. They move Manson or Girard instead.

Thread: Possible Nylander Deal

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>UpsideDownQue</b></div><div>Agreed - I'd also be interested in bringing Timmins back if the leafs want to move him anyway. Combining the first 2 trades to be Beaucage + 4th (or even 3rd) for Lafferty + Timmins would be nice for the Avs imo</div></div>

Timmins really flourished here in Toronto with the proper icetime its a shame we don't have room for him but he should be traded to a place where he has an opportunity to crack a fulltime NHL lineup.

Avs accept I think. Not sure I love the extra cap hit but Beaucage has no value

Thread: Possible Nylander Deal

Avs totally accept. A decent 3rd liner, not too expensive (and probably close to what we spend on a ufa for that spot), and traded for a prospect that we can easily replace!

Thread: Toews 4C

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>UpsideDownQue</b></div><div>If he's healthy I think he could be a good 3C or even 2C in a pinch but having him on the 4th line just shows the depth of the Cs.

Gotcha. I had him at 2C in one of mine. Not because I think he'd be a better 2C than RyJo, but because I liked how the middle six looked.

Lehk, Toews, Nichushkin (shutdown line)
Wood, Colton, RyJo

In any case, I really like the addition. It opens a lot of possibilities.

So they buy out oel, do not qualify bear or dermott, let Burroughs walk…and they just acquired Hronek after trading Schenn…and they’re taking offers on Myers appearently…

So it’s Quinn Hughes as the … lone standing 1 year survivor of a teams entire defense? Their time zone makes following them difficult for me.

This is not normal. They should probably stop doing this. I dunno.</div></div>

You want them to run it back with the worst defense core in the NHL? Canucks fans are glad we are blowing up the defense, just as long as we don’t sign equally bad contracts as replacements. Hronek is already significantly better than every other guy not named Hughes. Losing OEL and Myers is basically addition by subtraction

Thread: If Sharangovich Is Traded

Yegor to the Avs makes a lot of sense, but I'm not sure about giving up a first for him. I just did one where the Avs send a 2nd and Beaucage to NJ. I think that's more in line with what Colorado would pay. Or something around Olausson (him and a 3rd maybe).

Thread: Luke

I tend to think the odds are that the Avs can actually afford Toews next year, bc, as much as I hate to say it, the chances of Landy coming back are not that high. If I were the avs, i'd roll that dice.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>UpsideDownQue</b></div><div>You forgot to sign Newhook lol</div></div>

No matter as the trade wouldn't happen anyway. Value aside, the Avs can't afford to be trading Newhook & the '23 1st with no 2C in play.

That's a no from me for the Avs too. I'd rather they went after someone else if it's at the cost of a 1st.

Thread: CBJ Slow and Steady

The Avs need more of a sure thing than a roll of the dice. If he's really cheap, then maybe. But if it costs a 1st, even with a pick coming back, it's a no imo.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Anus_McLeod</b></div><div>A little too complicated on the Colorado trade imo. Maybe a 1st, 3rd, and Olausson? Might get beat, but I'd start there.</div></div>

If the Avs are spending big capital, I'd rather start with PLD - he's a lot younger than Lindholm. I do have a feeling Calgary is going to wait and see what happens with their new coach before they make big moves. If they are out of the hunt by the TDL, look for them to sell off pieces like Lindholm unless he re-signs before then.

Thread: Long Term 2C

Just here to drool over PLD in Colorado. Really the perfect fit behind MacK for the rest of our window.

Just give me MacK, Rantanen, PLD, Val, Makar, Toews, Byram, and Georgiev for the next 5-6 years and see how many cups we can win. Healthy Landy is just a bonus at that point.

Thread: Long Term 2C

I don't think it's too much for PLD at all, especially if it's for a rumoured sign & trade for 8Y that was reported. I would even counter with Olausson for Beaucage.

That AAV looks a bit light for what his rumoured ask is, but it was also reported he'd take less if the team was an immediate Cup contender, so who knows.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WPGSK</b></div><div>Still not enough for PLD. Yes, WPG would insist on the 2023 1st. But even then, still not enough.

Referencing... "Value is based on Reinhart (late 1st + Levi) and Fiala (mid 1st + Faber) trades"

PLD's upside is SIGNIFICANTLY higher than both Reinhart and Fiala.</div></div>

He's in his prime years and has barely been cracking 60 points when do you think hes gonna be getting better?
