Thread: PLD trade

So instead of Newhooks elc in 2 yrs you’re having to sign PLD to an extension coming off of a $5M contract. PLD to the Avs is just not a fit long term imo and you sure are trading Newhook for a 2 yrs of PLD.

But the point stands even if one says 50 games</div></div>

And not a one of them won a cup starting 60 in the season. Also of those 33 3 goalies Bob, Dubnyk and Jones represent 9 of those seasons, I don’t know about you but I’m not betting the farm on those 3. I understand where you are coming from but I think there is a fundamental philosophy change occurring with goal tending in the NHL.

Nobody is starting 60 anymore unless there are a ton of injuries or the team sucks. Gibson has done it once in his career ever.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Richard88</b></div><div>Just playing with the idea of what a Dubois-to-Colorado trade would look like.

Compher + Newhook + 1st + Foudy for Dubois?</div></div>

Sakic isnt trading Newhook unless Barkov or Eichel is coming back, imo he is 70pt player in the making at 2C especially behind MacK. PLD hasn’t come close to 70pts. I really like PLD but I just don’t love him. He is going to be do another contract in 2 yrs and if he is still a 50pt player what do you pay him. I’ve said it before Newhook’s projected development dovetails so nicely with Kadri’s contract it doesn’t make a lot of sense to mess with. But as always I like your creativity

Thread: Eichel

It begins with Lafrienere and start adding including multiple 1st rd picks. You don’t get a top 5 C signed for 6 yrs giving up anything except a premium package, and a package that has Strome a 2nd and Kravtsov isn’t a premium package from the Rangers.

Thread: Columbus blockbuster

That’s a massive over pay by the Avs. In the short term you could easily argue Kadri is better than PLD especially in the 2C role for the Avs, and Newhook has every bit of future promise as PLD and is cheaper. I wouldn’t do Newhook Kadri for PLD and I sure wouldn’t do Compher and a 1st for Jenner.

Thread: Pateryn trade

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Richard88</b></div><div>It saves the Avs $1.2m in capspace with a marginal downgrade of their 8th Dman. That capspace will allow them to roll with a 22 or 23 man active roster at times when needed. $1.2m also accrues to around $6m in capspace at the deadline which is HUGE. Sakic is setting himself up to be a big shopper at the deadline.</div></div>

And they can bury another $1M of his contract in the AHL when they start playing which is where I expect him to be.

Idk, they have Compher, Jost and PEB as bottom 6 C’s. Personally I think Compher plays better on the wing so maybe.

They have the pieces yes, but besides being a name is PLD really what the Avs need? No. Just because you can make a trade doesn’t mean you should. Guys like Newhook, Byram, and Baron are the next wave of high end talent that will be on ELC’s as guys like Makar and Landeskog get extensions.

I don’t think they mess around with Newhook in the bottom 6 but I don’t disagree with the rest. Plus maybe a guy like Kovalenko can make the jump straight from the KHL, regardless Jost is one of the guys with the most to prove and gain this year, again.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DirtyDangle</b></div><div>thats the idea. compher and donskoi now become the next best option and both are easily replaceable. avs clear almost 7m in cap and clear some term, while still recouping a 2nd and 3rd.</div></div>
That’s not a bad idea but that would be dependent on guys like Jost, Bowers and Kaut taking a significant step forward. Though imo Seattle will be looking long and hard at Compher because of the anticipated depth of D man likely available in the XD.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DirtyDangle</b></div><div>i would. better than losing him for nothing.</div></div>

Then you lose another player for nothing? I think Sakic is trying manipulate the Seattle pick the best he can so they pick Graves, Compher or Donskoi. You lose one it’s not the end of the world and in the case of Graves by far the easiest to replace. Don’t get into the nonsense MIN and FLA did with VGK accept you are losing a guy and move on.

Totally agree. The Avs big moves will be young guys joining the team because 1 they are good and 2 they will be cheap.

Pretty spot on in my opinion any changes I would make would be cosmetic and not of significant nature like I’d expect Byram and Makar to be a pairing but with the Avs it is often blender combinations

That’s not what happened at all you are making things up. He was tied for team lead in playoff goal scoring with MacKinnon which was tied for 6th in the league, led the playoffs in power play goals, he had 10 penalty minutes in 15 games. Literally you are making **** up.

Literally this is make believe. The only reason COL lost in the playoffs last year was injuries to the goal tenders, and unless Kadri all the sudden is a goalie I’ve never heard a single Avs fan say it was Kadri’s fault. As for last night the Avs d played like 3 new pairings which it was that hung Grub out to dry.

That’s a crazy trade for the Avs creating a massive hole at 2C for at best a minimal improvement in goal.
