<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Schuyler</b></div><div>Lehkonen and Colton are good players but to call Ritchie a super prospect is actually absurd its just not enough I can assure you that deal gets beat 100/100 times Kaprizov is very easily a top 10-15 forward in the NHL especially on a different team</div></div>

Well whatever gets him in an Avs sweater, I'm not one to worry about trade value bc its rarely what CF users think.

Plus, this is a response to last night's Avs victory where Kaprizov demands a trade to COL after

That's a way worse offer than mine. Build your own roster if you like!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Schuyler</b></div><div>imagine that was offered for Rantanen would you accept?</div></div>

Definitely have to think about it. Rantanen is expensive and needs a new contract soon & is getting older. Colton is a bit overpaid but still a solid middle six guy. Lehky is a board beast who can compliment a top six line. Ritchie is a super prospect; should have been top 10 & he's still playing in the playoffs for Oshawa & dominating. MIN should consider bc of the remaining buyout years still & no guarantee Kaprizov re-signs after. Ritchie aligns with the buyouts.

That would be amazing. CM has arbitration tho; I don't think GMCM wants to play with fire after trading away Bo Byram. A lot will depend on his performance in the playoffs. Ultimately that benefits the Avs.

Thread: New Third Pairing Next Year

Behrens is a priority for CMac & Malinski is basically a lock to start. I don't see a need to add any other starting D. I also think if anyone is traded, its one of the 2nd pair; CMac doesn't have a built-in rplc at 3C. However, he could prob get away with Kovalenko at 3C in a pinch. Whoever is moved doesn't have to be replaced right away; they could get picks to be swapped for a rental later. I think rentals are going to become a thing going forward for the Avs

Thread: 2024 Playoff Lines - Avalanche Edition

This is reasonable. Personally, I'm hoping Kovalenko gets a starting spot, but his injury makes it challenging. He was seen at practice today, which is great bc I thought he was going to be in Loveland for a while. Avs have him on a fast track to the NHL.

Thread: Hmmmmmmmmm thoughts

I'm excited to see Colton in the playoffs. I think he has the potential to be an impact guy & endear himself to the front office.

Mittelstadt will cost double that- it’s why the Sabres decided to trade him</div></div>

Right, but then its a simple Manson trade & then Jiricek makes much more sense. Next year trade G & Behrens is already there as backfill; you just UFA the 6th D.

All these great moves & then starting Samsonov? Marner is nice but Devils have solid F. Using $9M on Saros would be really fun!

We've seen this story play out with Naz. I think JD will be fine, not great, but just OK for the Sharks

Drouin at $800k: awesome; Drouin at $4M: hmmm. I'm def a Kovalenko fan & I think he takes that spot anyways. Maybe JD goes back to MTL to fill the Monahan vacancy

Thread: Shake it up

90s Avs would lose to the fLames, who were horrible, just like this scenario. Its fine & they'll still be contenders this post season. Maybe they went to the bar last night, or whatever. Much ado about nothing my friend.

Right, in this scenario they just got out from under Tyler Myers, but they're going right back to that well, lol. I love Z but he doesn't prioritize winning; I think he'd be happy getting paid by the Sharks to play big minutes bc they wouldn't mind losing.

Thread: Merzlikins solution

CLB best improvements need to be in the front office. If they can fix their leadership, everything else will fall into place. Carl Soderberg turned it around with Bednar, so its possible with Elvis too!

Thread: who is more likely to be scratched for the playoffs

Answer (Game 1): Kivi is 1st scratch, then prob NK51. Cogs might sit later tho. He has a 1yr deal & recall Bednar was gonna scratch EJ before JJ got hurt. Wood & his brand new 6yr deal are unlikely to be scratched IMO.

Ah yes, those pesky 'results' always getting in the way of perception.

As for the effort, during the intermission they asked him how to deal with the Avs speed. He said they just had to turn it up a notch. The next period they get totally destroyed up & down the ice. Way to turn it up.
