Thread: Lindy City

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Highlife</b></div><div>Why is Calgary doing the Avalanche the favor of taking Johansen?

A Late 1st and B prospect for Lindholm alone is already on the light end.. Let alone clearing 4M in capspace next year. Oh ya, and then Calgary' is also retaining.

Pretty terrible offer.</div></div>

Lindholm has been playing worse and worse since he and the rest of the Flames broke out a couple of years ago. The only one from that team that has played well since is Tkachuk in Florida. Not saying he couldn't rebound with a better team, Colorado is not going to give up prospects or picks for a rental. And dont think he is the player they will want to extend after not looking all that great lately.

Thread: Where will EJ go

Colorado most def will not trade for EJ. He overspent his tenure here the first time by 3 years.

Thread: Av fans

Dylan Strome would fit in nicely as a #2 center here in Denver and is locked up. Also, we would want Lindgren as we need a backup to Georgie to lessen his load.

Thread: I did it again Oops

last thing Colorado needs is another winger before a legit #2 Center. And LOL at the Avs signing Drouin for 6 AAV when all he is worth right now is a PTO or 1 year minimum prove it deal like Big Val signed

Thread: Avs 2024

I think the Avs will strongly consider trading Towes this offseason as he has more value than Girard despite only having 1 year left on his deal and the Avs will be in no place resign him. So instead of losing "Girard" and Towes we will just trade the soon to be FA. A top 4 of : Makar, Byram, Girard, Manson is good.. They can upgrade on Manson the following year

They absolutely need to get more depth in the middle 6 and bottom 6.

Thread: Landy Missing Next Season Makes Other Things Possible

No more of Newhook at 2C he looked completely lost this year and even failed when he was on the 3rd and 4th line. Im sure he will be packaged with a defender to bring in a real 2 Center.

Thread: SJ Land Carlsson Trade for Nylander Murray if Leafs Lose 3 Straight

That is a pretty crappy offer for a 40 goal scorer and ppg player the last 2 years. Recently DeBrincat was traded for the 7th overall , 2nd and 3rd rd picks.

Forum: Armchair-GMDec. 29, 2022 at 7:41 a.m.

Thread: Colorado Next Year

I for one will be disappointed if that is what our team is next year. That bottom 6 is not very good. Newhook has shown he is a better winger than he is center and if he cant be the #2 center he will be traded probably along with Girard to get a #2 center

Thread: Colorado Next Year

Byram will be closer to 3 million than 1.5 million.

Thread: Im Mr Meseeks look at me

Thats horrible. If the Avs wanted a 2C at age 31 signed long term they would have just resigned Kadri and looked to trade a Dman afterwards.

Thread: DNVR TDL

This is ridiculous. Sakic wont trade Helleson and Barron it will be one or the other. Probably Helleson as he may not even sign. We are not going to get Chychrun either and that offer wont land him. We will be trading the 2023 pick as other teams going ALL IN will be gettin players. No way we dont trade it to upgrade. Murray will go other other way as he has been a lost cause this year and makes 2 million.

Thread: Hertl UFA

I am sure Compher and EJ will not be on the team by 22/23 season. Both will have 1 year remaining on their deals and we can do small retentions on both and free up like 7 of the 9.5 million which would be put to good use.

Forum: Armchair-GMSep. 3, 2021 at 12:00 p.m.

Thread: One can dream

So you wanna pay a soon to be 36 year old free agent 8.5 million for 3 years? WHY? Sakic didnt even wanna pay 7 million to our Captain at 28 years old. And I agree if Bowen Bryam and Newhook are only getting 2 million bridge deals that means that busted out. And Mack will get the full 8 years cause he is Mack and does things only Mack does. But I still think he will take less than 12 million

Forum: Armchair-GMJul. 21, 2021 at 5:21 p.m.

Thread: Avs2021-22

There is no way Jost is getting anything close to 2 million.
Doubt Sakic trades LOC after using him as a protected slot along with Foudy who is like our only legit center prospect after Newhook and is also right handed. Something we have nothing of
I dont see Makar getting 1 million more AAV than Heiskanen. I think Makar will top off at 9 million.

Still think Sakic will try to trade EJ at 50% retainage so we only eat 3 million next 2 years than 2 million the next 4 when we really need cap room.

Would rather go after Reinhart from Buffalo and get him locked up than get a player with only 1 year to go on his deal.

Thread: sabers enter another rebuild this is return and signings they make

Doubt anyone in the later part of their career will be signing with BUffalo like Krejci unless they are being way overpaid

Thread: Seattle Expansion

Considering they are signing Dreidger to a 3 year deal this already needs to be updated.

Butcher is a bust. Dont see them wasting cap space on JOhansen at 8 AAV. If Landeskog would sign in Seattle for 8 he would sign in COlorado for 7 as he said he would take less. Problem is he is looking for 9-10 million with full term

Thread: Matthew Tkachuk to Avs

if the Avs resign Saad it will be in the 4-4.5 AAV range. He wont be back if he wants to keep his current salary.

Forum: Armchair-GMJun. 15, 2021 at 1:22 p.m.

Thread: Why does poeple whant to trade sammy

its not they want to trade Girard its that he has a ton of value and we have great depth on the left side. To get a real 2nd line center a piece like Girard will have to get shipped out. We still have Towes and Byram on the left side with Makar / Timmins on the right side.

Forum: Armchair-GMMay 20, 2021 at 12:29 p.m.

Thread: what would these players cost

Graves can be had from Colorado before the Expansion draft as he will be left exposed. Timmins will be resigned as he is a good 5/6 defender that can also play in the top 4 due to injuries. Our other RHD prospects are still a year or 2 away from making the team.

I could also see Sakic using Graves along with other pieces to upgrade the 2 center spot as Kadri has been MIA all season long

Thread: Karmanos has fun

I highly doubt to see that many UFAs choose Buffalo over other more desirable situations unless its an utter overpay on Buffalo's part

Thread: Offseason

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>I’ll tackle the signings since others covered Hertl. Helleson and Weiss are going back to college. $8.5 on an 8 yr deal for Makar is wishful thinking, Chabot got $8M and Makar is significantly better particularly offensively. Travis Barron isn’t getting a contract Justin Barron is. There is zero need for Perrault with their young guys. What about Newhook?</div></div>

Just cause so and so got this doesnt mean our players wont take less to keep a great team together. Also Makar hasnt shown he can actually stay healthy. 2 years in the league and injured both years.

Thread: Turcotte for Byram

If the Avalanche wanted Turcotte they would have drafted him.. They chose Byram over him. Id much rather have Byram with Newhook starting out at the 3C

You can never have enough defense in the NHL. If they were to trade Byram it would be for a proven player and part of a bigger package like for Eichel

Thread: Next Year

Seattle isnt taking Kerfoot. THere will be better options than him.

Forum: Armchair-GMJan. 25, 2021 at 11:45 a.m.

Thread: next year Ava

First No way Grubauer signs for same exact salary as he is getting paid now. If he stays healthy he will get what Vegas gave their goalie. 5 years 5mil AAV. 2nd I think Makar will take less to keep the team together 7 years for 8 million. Landeskog wont get that much. And I think Joe has learned from the EJ contract not to give 7 year deals to older vets. Landy will get a 5 year deal with a 6.5 AAV at most. He too wanted to say when they were at the lowest and will take less. But with a flat market I dont see teams willing to give him a 7 year deal with a 7.5 aav.

Barron wont get traded as he is EJ's replacement on the rightside.

I do agree that JTC is gone after this year if not by the TDL. Also Donskoi is gone if we can find a taker for his salary. Way too much money for 3rd liners that play like 4th liners most nights. Time for avs to build a real 3rd line defensive group. We got Nich. Need to go get Johan Larsson from Buffalo and Zach Aston-Reese from Pittsburgh. They would be dynamic shutting down other teams scoring lines.

I can also see Newhook playing on the wing to start his career just like Tanguay, mackinnon, ROR did at their early parts of their careers.

Forum: Armchair-GMJan. 21, 2021 at 2:24 p.m.

Thread: Id like to see this defensive matchup line

I would rather go target Gibson and Rakell from Anaheim to give us goalie protection since no one can stay healthy :) Rakell would be the 3rd line center at 3.75 million. I also see Makar being like Mack and taking a team friendly deal. Signs for 8 million or less for 7 years. s
