Thread: Colorado shocks NHL at TDL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FilthyMitts05</b></div><div>I mean if things go smoothly its a fair deal. But Byrams concussion history is scary and Newhooks production is a small concern too. What about Byram, Girard, EJ6 and a 23 first for Garland no retention, Myers 50%, and Petterson? Some smaller peices could be added if I got the value wrong to even things out.</div></div>
Byram isn’t out with a concussion it’s an LBI. Newhook has been playing all year with a blender of linemates and Bednar went on the record and said he wanted to play Newhook with Landeskog and Nichushkin. And MacKinnon hates Garlands guts it goes back to Shattucks and was part of the reason he launched his helmet at his head, and there isn’t any planet where any team trades half of their d-corp. COL will gladly roll along and get healthy before they do a bunch of stupid moves.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>still can, Malgin can eat hot dogs in the press box and Meyers who has looked a lot better of late is shown he could fit into a bottom C role in time.
Feel like there is more pressure off the avs to pick up a depth guy at the deadline now paying an up price bc thats just how deadlines go.

But if they do pick up a Henrique for example. and they activate Landy.
That makes Newhook Compher Erod Nieto Cogs and LOC as their bottom 6. No complaints with that mix

They can be more strategic and target guys</div></div>

I also wonder what they have planned for Merkley. I’d fully expect him to spend the season in Loveland, be the #1 guy but his skating, transition game and that he is right handed creates some depth and options.
