Rumor: 2020-21 Trade Rumours and FA Part XII: Dietary Discourse

That format sucks, of course.

LOL Leafs fans can continue to stress like the rest of us

We never stood a chance against COVID, when we have guys like this who intensely rub their eyes after catching fish all day every day.

NHL Network is randomly showing game 3 of the flames/Avs series from 04/15/19. Paying close attention to Landeskog. He makes the top line so much better. If the reported asking price of 8+ million is true, then Joe is correct to let him go. But I would be devastated and the team would be worse (barring a Sakic miracle). Some on here underestimate his value. He would be a huge loss.

Watch games 1-6 against Las Vegas in 2021

Ah yes from the Toronto Maple Leafs the Seattle will select Alex Horsefoot.

I think 8 year term is fine if the AAV is fair. I wouldn't worry about Landeskog not aging well because in 8 years Avs probably won't be contenders anymore.

That's actually a fair point. Though I think if Landy doesn't age well with a big 8 year contract, that could have something to do with not being able to build a contender.

Also I wonder if Sakic would be willing to go 8 years if he only gives Landy a NMC the first three, and then no restrictions after?

And if Landy would be willing to accept that in return for more term/security? Might be a last ditch effort to compromise on a deal.

Count me in for Kessel retained.

He’s been there and done that, ate the doughnuts to prove it. Totally laid back character, keeps everybody chill.

The guy produces points in his sleep. Fantastic secondary scoring option.

Guy shows up come playoff time, too.

And he showed in Pittsburgh if you really want to try it, he can play on a "checking" line the way he did with Hagelin and Bonino.

They still might be a very good team in 8 years. Makar and Byram could be #1Dmen among other things.

One thing is for sure, make bad long-term decisions without a care in the world and you definitely won't be that good 8 years from now.

I'd love to have Phil

How is that a way of thinking for a GM ? Of course they will want to contend as long as possible, they will never tell I don’t care we will have to rebuild in 5 years.

What Landy should think about, is the fact that if he declines the last 3 years of his 8 years contract, he will be bought out.

He better sign a 7,5 5 years contract and then takes a 3 years contract at the value he will be.

He will be too slow for the top line by year 3, and then spend the next 5 years putting up 35-45 points. I guarantee it.

Already suggested that. Hate anything guaranteed over 5 years. Give him a NMC for up to 5 years on a 7-8 year term. But AAV should be lower and it gives him some certainty. If he wants to chase the $ then he can.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Can they just give Landy like 8 years x 4 million and give him a share of Wal Mart.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

I’m already a little shocked that there’s been no media talk of an analytics driven team like Seattle having interest in JMac but now this definitely concerns me that other NHL teams might be. A team like Tampa for example would absolutely love to have JMac on that league min contract as a 7th D who can play when needed.

 

[avsfan09]

I wonder if teams can use Seattle to pick players from rivals that don't give them cap relief. Like if Seattle is planning on JTC and the stars don't want us to have cap, maybe they go after a guy like Jmac. Just an example, not really a fully thought out one either.

 

[AvsCOL]

Does the trade market open up after Seattle’s roster is submitted, or after the televised draft tonight?

Drafting Jost cost Sakic his friendship with Patrick Roy. Jost is going to be on this team as long as Sakic is running things.

I thought it was Radulov who cost their friendship ?? I was under the impression that Roy wanted Radu with the Avs at all cost and Joe said no .

 

[RoyIsALegend]

I thought it was Radulov who cost their friendship ?? I was under the impression that Roy wanted Radu with the Avs at all cost and Joe said no .

The 3 things Roy wanted in draft/free agency week that tipped him over…

- Radulov signed
- Barrie traded instead of extended
- 1st round pick(Jost) traded for help

He didn’t want to rebuild and wanted Barrie traded for a different type of defenseman(more physical and defensive).

 

[Frenchy]

Maybe as a 13th forward in case someone gets hurt but my hope is that the Avs have learned their lesson from recent years. A bunch of 5-11 depth forwards who can skate and PK pretty well but don't hit or play a physical game don't really help you much in the playoffs.

Players like Jordan Martinook and Carter Rowney (if healthy and fully recovered) should definitely be looked at for the 4th line as should Luke Glendering to replace Bellemare as 4th line C. (faceoffs)

If we keep adding players who are easy to play against, we'll never go anywhere in the post season. Our top guys are who they are but the bottom part of the roster needs to be a pain in the ass to play against.

This, this and so much this , Thank you my friend

And if that 1st wasn’t traded, he wanted Chychrun

 

[Ararana]

As much as I hated Roy's philosophy, he was right on that one.

And from what I read Roy was one of the biggest driving factors behind the MacKinnon pick. So not all of his decisions were bad.
