Thread: More Jackets and Avs "rumors" lol
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BreKel</b></div><div><i>Alex4avs .... Nice post, because I understood the sarcasm to a "T".

Sorry Jackets, but Hartnell + your junk isn't getting you Rantanen AND Barrie. No matter how good you think Hartnell is, his contract, NMC and age is an albatross. You'll be lucky to get a 2nd for him. Retain on his contract at 25-50% and maybe the Jackets get a decent piece for it. Nothing on the levels of a Rantanen or Barrie, and nevermind them both.

Like Marco said in the other thread, this is probably an Eklund rumor...Or one he saw on twitter from one of the million BS "insiders" who claim they have sources around the league, but the only source they have is their ass when they fart.

If it looks like ****, smells like ****, and tastes like ****...It's ****. These rumors are ****. Move along, Jacket. <strong>NO ONE WANTS HARTNELL</strong>.</i></div></div>

You are wayyyyy too high on Hartnell bud.
He is 35
His contract sucks
He has little value
RIP</i></div></div>

Jacketsman thinks Hartnell is the hottest thing since sliced bread, and tries to pawn him off on teams as such. Hartnell + junk for their best assets. Laughable. No real understanding of the rest of the league, how trades works, and how teams don't want overpaid, old junk for their young assets. Sorry, not sorry.</i></div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Peterman</b></div><div><i>But Barrie scores more than Jones. If the Avs re-sign all RFAs as you suggest, there's realistically only room for one mid tier UFA. Also, Roy likes to roll w 8 D and 13 F. You also have to allow about $1.3M space for callups, because players that are injured short term still count against the cap</i></div></div>

I understand Barrie scores more, but they are two different types of defensemen.
Jones is more of a physical, shut down defensemen and Barrie is more of a puck moving, offensive defensemen.
Although an offensive defensemen may score more points than a shutdown defensemen doesn't 100% mean that he should get more money (I simply used Jones as a comparable for what the market is paying as of June 29th. I cant imagine a fair deal isn't too far off of 5.4mil).

I understand Roy likes to roll 13 F and 8 D, I simply went with who I knew received offers and what my best guess would be on the dollar amount. As for who that outstanding D man will be, your guess is as good as mine.

If Kapanen is your first line winger, you are in trouble.

Lines don't mean anything. It's about player chemistry. Although trading Pokka is a bad idea in my opinion.</i></div></div>

I wasn't aware of the chemistry between Toews and Panik HAHAAH please explain lmao</i></div></div>

Did you watch the first round of the playoffs? I know your team didn't make it again so maybe there wasn't much incentive to but if you did in fact watch the playoffs you would know that Panik was one of the best forwards on the Hawks that round.</i></div></div>
HAHAHA no one got to see much of the Hawks cuz they didn't make it out of the first round!!! hahaha

The goal is to win the cup not to make it to the playoffs and have your arse handed to you in the first round.
Avs are not in a position to compete in a Stanley Cup final right now and at the end of the day, ill happily take the 10th overall pick instead of a first round playoff knockout out lmao.

Its simple.
10th overall pick &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; getting knocked out in the FIRST round of the playoffs.
