@Russostrib why do I always feel like Fletcher has something up his sleeve?

@J_Ramas he usually does...No doubt he's involved in some things, but the prices on all these trades are steep. so may not do anything big

Okay, so Clowe's out. Who's left that might help us?

 

[Minnesota]

McBain

No such thing as small trade on deadline-eve. Dal + Colorado swap minor leaguers.Avs send C. Gaunce to Stars for T. Vincour. #tradecentre

McBain

Don't really see the fit that another 2/3 pairing RD gives us, since we've already got Spurgeon and Gilbert there. It is a big deal for a RD to play the left side and I wouldn't want to put that on any of them, nor do I see McBain as an upgrade on Clark/Falk as our #3LD. Better player? Certainly, but not a better #3LD.

Not expecting any moves since it appears "names" who aren't producing are still getting hefty returns so one can only imagine what players who actually are producing will fetch and we don't need depth players.

probably someone no one sees coming.

Erik Johnson anyone?

Erik Johnson anyone?

BN Erik Johnson*

Not at the price. Still think we'd pay a premium on the former #1 overall pick status.

MASSIVE 4-team trade

in a massive 4-team trade, the Minnesota Wild acquire:

Thomas Vanek
Phil Kessel
Blake Wheeler
&
Alex Goligoski


The entire state of Minnesota then instantly explodes.

I don't know. He has really fallen off.

Scandella + Bulmer + 2nd?

 

[Fel 96]

Not enough from an Avs POV.

 

[Minnesota]

Colorado's defense is paper-thin. No way they're trading Johnson.

 

[Fel 96]

Don't expect anything tonight from #CBJ, but one call can change all. #CBJ GM Jarmo Kekalainen: "I'm still attached to my cellphone."

I know we're not going to trade Zucker. What would they want? Stoner? Falk?

 

[Fel 96]

Speaking of the Jackets, looking forward to see if they will trade one of their 3 1st's.

I'm pretty sure they can get a very good player with one of them.

A defenseman that's for sure.

Either way, they really lack of good defensemen. Why'd they trade him?

 

[Haite]

EJ is still Avs' #1 D-man, they won't trade him for bits and pieces.

 

[Puhis]

I wonder if Umberger is available for something like Bouchard (cap dump)+Scandella+Phillips+pick?

 

[Bookman]

Stay the course - no need to trade Z. Michalek, R. Jones, or N. Leddy today.

Our draft and develop >>> our pro scouts.

Cap hit and most tradeable piece?

3.75 for EJ isn't half bad.
