Can we add olofsson+Dermy to the RyJo+1st package as well?
It would make enough room for Zegras.

Olofsson was fine in the beginning of the year. I think most of his issues stem from his wingers. Cogs has been looking bad and Kivi skates hard, but doesn't really do anything. When Nuke comes back, that should help the 4th line by pushing a guy down. I'm not opposed to an upgrade, but we need to fix the gigantic 2C problem first and foremost. Fix 2C, then Backup goalie, fallowed by 3rd RHD, then upgrade the 4C.Can we add olofsson+Dermy to the RyJo+1st package as well?
The 4C issue is real though just not our most pressing need.If the Avs trade enough assets for 4Cs they’ll solve their 2C issue since one of them will have to play there! Pure genius!
#whataboutkuemperthoughAnd but let me just say this: it can't be Söderberg again.
In Olofsson's defense, his game started to fall off a cliff once he got saddled with MacDermid. He's played 111 minutes with MacDermid on the season now. Nobody looks good playing with MacDermid.The 4C issue is real though just not our most pressing need.
I really liked our 4th line of Cogliano-Olofsson-Kiviranta to start the season... it actually felt like we had a real 4th line for the first time in a long time.
Sadly, for the past 2 months Olofsson & Kiviranta are playing like they are on 5 year deals out there and while they are working hard, the results aren't great. Neither of these guys are particularly hard to play against.
Olofsson sucks on faceoffs and I don't think he's one of our best PKers. He's got 0 goals and 1 assist in his last 20 games...even for a 4th liner, that's pretty shitty.
For Kiviranta, he's not doing a hell of a lot out there either. He's just out there skating...not really physical...not really doing much of anything. He's got 0 goals and 2 assists in his last 26 games.
They are both right at the top of the Marc-Andre Cliche Scale of Uselessness ™ !!!
The Avs should have no concerns waiving either of these guys, they'll easily clear. Ideally they should be injury call-ups but they just aren't NHL quality players. If you're not going to produce, you gotta be strong on faceoffs or make your presence felt physically or be a great PKer or something.
It's a good thing we signed Parise. At least he's out there forechecking his ass off and has a scoring touch.
yeah tell about bad asset management lolIn Olofsson's defense, his game started to fall off a cliff once he got saddled with MacDermid. He's played 111 minutes with MacDermid on the season now. Nobody looks good playing with MacDermid.
You can always use an upgrade, but those calling for the Avs to trade a 1st round pick for Nic Dowd are out to lunch. You don't give up 1st round picks for 4th line centers lol.
It's gotta be Boone at 50%. It's the only one that lets us keep all the core and D together for this season.It's almost a catch 22, we need to fix the 2C problem, but we've also got have room to fix the problem first. Almost have to have simultaneous trades happen
Who cares?What 4Cs are available outside of Dowd?
So Evans scored tonight
And roslovic
And Jenner
And greig
Dowd had an apple
Mittelstadt had an apple
Pinto had an apple
And just to be ridiculous McDavid had 6 assists
The Mittelstadt line played great tonight. Pressure forecheck and led the way for the Sabres. Mitts isn't lighting the lamp like he was earlier but for most of Jan and Dec he was the Sabres best center.So what you're really saying is, Mittelstadt could only muster 1 assist on 7 Buffalo goals, while RyJo got the same 1 assist on only 6 Colorado goals???
Someone tell me why we're considering trading for this clown and why we're getting rid of RyJo? Dudes playing to a PPG pace over his last 1 game.

It's a shame Girgenson's hockey skill doesn't match the awesomeness of his name. Zemgus Girgensons is an all time name.He is according to MTL fans. Maybe we could double-dip with Anaheim and get Henrique + Carrick
Girgensons?
Sturm?
