Thread: Nutso for Nico
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Burnout</b></div><div>Are you high? A 22 year oldwork-in-progress D with high draft pedigree, 2 likely late 1sts, an ok prospect and a cap dump is not going to get you a young 70-80 point Selke caliber center on a great contract. Especially since New Jersey doesn't need a Byram-type D at all.</div></div>

Ah yeah the guy that devalues everybody else’s assets and inflates his team. Byram top 4 dman on a cup contender that dominated in the cup run. First round picks are first round picks, they are only more valuable contrary to what you think, that’s why there are protections on them, and purely for funsies Byram is worth 2 1st rd picks by himself, Behrens is an NHL ready dman that was a 2nd rd pick so you think the equivalent of 4 1st rd picks and a 2nd is not quality. You my friend are a silly silly person.

Thread: DNVR Does C - Mac have balls
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>macca2119</b></div><div>(Pulls pin on Grenade) - I Love the whole Sabres don't need Byram argument. I get the righty/lefty thing, but statistically, that D core is terrible. Dude immediately becomes the second best D on that team (that's not hyperbole, check the stats, counting and fancy), likely leads the team in 5v5 time and, checks notes, has won a cup, so maybe he can be a positive force on a team that has done bupkis over the last 13 years. Maybe take on the talent and jettison the pieces that are not working.</div></div>

The pieces that aren't working are someone that played through what ended up being a season ending injury, a 2nd year 21 year old, and a 100 year old RD man that brings down all of his line mates. They don't need to trade Mittelstadt so they aren't just going to throw him away for a random player in hopes he's a slight upgrade, in a position they're already deep in, they're going to go after a position of need

Thread: Trading Up
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>macca2119</b></div><div>Im gonna start cutting and pasting this into ACGMs trying to dump Olofsson.

He is a terrible two way player, who's goal scoring does not offset the fact he is a complete defensive liability.

Looking at last years stats, His +/- was -23, 31st overall on the team. Digging deeper, his Offensive Point Share was 7th on the team at 3.6, but his Defensive Point Share was 22nd at 0.2, 15 total blocks on the year and 16 hits. Corsi relative was -2.0 (19th) and his Fenwick was 48.3 (20th). He had a favorable Oz start at 52% so that stats suggest he was getting slightly sheltered and/or PP time, where His GF/60 on the PP was 4.9 vs 2.7 at ES.

For comparison, constant fan least favorite Kurtis MacDermid has a DPS of 0.7. The Avs worst regular was Alex Newhook at 1.3. I'm not saying DPS is the end all be all, but it is a good barometer and it is clear that Oloffson is just a bad defensive player. The Avs do not target these types of players in trades.</div></div>

Generally agree that COL doesn't target this type of player. The only thing is that COL's 2023 first is not terribly valuable to them unless it nets 1) a big-time 2C rental or 2) a decent 2C/2nd line forward at a decent price and extra pieces. In this case, I think Avs take a serious look if this were on the table.

Thread: Trade Toews Get Yegor
this is one of my fav Avs ACGMs in a minute and is pretty similar to one I've been tinkering with. I hate hate HATE losing Toews, so I've been trying to find alternatives but the rest is similar.

I think Hathaway would be great, but it seems like an almost guarantee that Kovalenko will come and play with the Avs in the playoffs in a bottom-6 role. The Avs could easily use that spot on JLF and Olausson who are waivers exempt, or a waiver wire pickup. That's an extra million in the bank.

I like Eller but he shouldn't step up to 3C. If the avs don't feel comfortable with Meyers at 4C, Eller should be your option.

I have no feelings about Sharangovich, and I would be happy with him as an Av, but if the Avs were going to call all 31 other teams with that as their trade block, I think the Avs could probably do better.
