Rumor: 2021-22 Trade Rumors and Free Agency Part 13: there giroux

[Northern Avs Fan]

If we move our 1st for Domi or Copp that’s an L

Why?

 

[lionsDen]

Lehkonen - RFA
Texier - 2 years, then RFA
Crouse - RFA
Appleton - RFA

I was responding to your reply in the Dvorak and lek trade proposal. Where the poster had baron and our first in it.

 

[Alex Jones]

I dont think the Avs have the assets to pull it off, but getting Crouse + Gourde would nuts, that's how you can run 3 lines that can produce offense easily, a heavy forecheck line that wears teams down, and a defensive shut down line all in one go.

Pipe dream, but would be amazing.

 

[Richard88]

Dvorak will cost at least a 1st. MTL traded a 1st for him.

Not my favourite option but I wouldn't be against that. He's a 3C who can match up against opponents top lines and put up ~40 points, signed for 4 playoff runs at a manageable $4.45m caphit. Rather that than Copp as a rental.

The issue with Dvorak though would be that you'd have to find an extra ~$1.5m in capspace somewhere unless you use the LTIR loophole with Landeskog. So you're probably including one of Compher or Murray the other way as well.

 

[hughdreamz]

Our first isn't that valuable. I'd probably be unhappy if we still have it on Tuesday. Time to go all out and that first is a decent piece.

‘23 draft is DEEP. There’s a reason so many teams are valuing 2023 picks more than this year.

 

[lionsDen]

If we make more trades could it potentially throw our chemistry out of whack. Sakic and bednar have been known to comment on it

 

[Avs425]

Domi, Copp or who ever I don’t really care at this point. Only time will tell. The most important thing is that Joe is still looking to add and improve. Maybe he over pay? Maybe he swing’s
And misses? Who cares. We are in a position to win and he has to try with what’s available.

 

[Foppberg]

Go get Copp & Gourde.

Yup. Or Crouse and Copp. Even Crouse and Dvorak who have familiarity playing together.

Either way I want Crouse and a centre.

Great, sounds like we can get more value from that pick then. I'm not concerned about a pick that might turn into a player in 5 years, I want to win today.

Personally I don't want anything to do with Dvorak. I think he's utterly awful.



But some combination of 2 of Copp/Gourde/Crouse/Lehkonen would be great.

 

[Richard88]

The other top East teams are loading up and the Leafs might be going after Braun if they can’t land Giordano. That’s tough.

TML are getting left in the dust by Florida, Tampa, and Boston at this TDL

 

[hughdreamz]

Why?

Neither are worth it and ‘23 is a deep draft. Rather use the 1st on players with similar or higher value who are under contract or under control RFAs

 

[Foppberg]

Lindholm with an 8 year extension.

 

[Foppa2118]

Dvorak with Crouse is interesting in the sense that it could be cheaper and possibly doable.

 

[hughdreamz]

Lindholm with an 8 year extension.

Bruins gonna be the Sharks in 2 years

 

[Tralfamadore]

Let's face it ain't nothing else happening.

2023 1st + Barron for Gourde
2024 1st + Kaut/Ranta/Bowers/JTC/other picks for Crouse

 

[AvStock]

So what’s it gonna be on Monday guys? Sleepy Joe or Big Dick Joe?

 

[John Mandalorian]

I get the hard pass on Kessel part, hotdogs aren't for everyone.

... But Jost over Kessel?

It's no longer about Jost. Kessel is bestowed qualities as a SC passenger that don't apply to him. Yes he won a SC with Crosby and Malkin. But he's been ghastly (one might even say ghostly) since we've seen him several times as a Coyote. It's similar with Hall.

Crouse is a much better target. If you want one dimensional players, Clutterbuck is better. It's hard to score but not so hard for guys like Clutterbuck to do what they do.

Half awake, average size Joe

At least they're shooting their shot while they still have a chance. Good for them.
