If the futures aspect of the deal are high (A- or B+ prospect and a 1st) can we accept a mid range active roster player? or is Joe looking at it in reverse?
Yeah I'm familiar with that false narrative, thanks.
You’re welcome. Let’s just say most people weren’t overly pleased with the 6.5 M price tag he was loafing around on the ice before Mack arrived. Like it or not it’s not revisionist history. He had a couple rough years

In Cobra's defense kingslayer talked about something that Friedman would have said concerning Duchene running out of patience (??) without providing any detail and seconds later AVS_19 hinted about Kypreos who would have said something about a possible Duchene trade for Juolevi and a 1st? Without providing any detail as well.
So yeah, I'm with Cobra here. If you hear that on TV at least provide some details/context and don't assume that everyone is watching? Thanks.
I was watching the CBC segment, to summarize:
1. Sakic wants multiple pieces still.
2. Duchene is likely mad and expected to be traded. Probably had an understanding
3. Avs decent start makes it unlikely that Sakic is in a rush
4. No one is stepping up for Duchene
5. Vancouver is an interesting destination.
6. Sakic wants a defense-man like Sergachev
7. Juolevi is from the same draft as Sergachev.
8. Juolevi isn't as far along as Sergachev (kinda phrased like it would be Juolevi would be the basis and doesn't hold that much value compared to Sergachev)
9. Duchene has a family member in Vancouver organization.
Even I can post a tweet now. No excuse if my tech ignorant ass can do it.
I was about to make fun of you and then I read your post again. Hope she's better now.
I'd do Juolevi and a 1st.
I haven't heard it first hand but sounds like to me insiders just picked a new team the talk about that hasn't been flogged to death already.
Juolevi would be ok with me if it includes +++ the Nucks built up some prospect assets over the last year
Are we? We need to wait a few years to see how the 2015 and 2016 drafts turn out. For all we know we killed it with Jost and Rants and they end up the best players available at their draft positions.
2016: Tyson Jost. Passed over: Charlie McAvoy
2015: Mikko Rantanen. Passed over: Thomas Chabot
2014: Connor Bleackley. Passed over: David Pastrnak
2013: Nate MacKinnon. Passed over: Sasha Barkov, Seth Jones, etc
2012: (pick traded for Varlamov)
2011: Gabe Landeskog, Duncan Siemens. Passed over: Mark Scheifele, Nikita Kucherov, Johnny Gaudreau.
Basically, every person responsible for Avs drafting should be fired and possibly jailed. 25 to life.
Nashville and Calgary. There are some other teams with better prospect pools but they aren't at the point where they should be trading them for a player who is a UFA in 18 months.
Tolvanen + Girard/Fabbro or Valimaki + Parsons + something else are my favorite proposals whether we're talking all futures or not.
Sure he was overpaid, but not invisible. At worst he was a decent 50pt two-way player. He got a lot of unfair blame because he couldn't carry a talentless roster. I think a lot of people overlooked and underrated him because he wasn't a flashy player. He made his living making short and smart passes down low that are easy to overlook because of how simple they look.
That was his worst season. You missed out on one of the best players the have had in the last decade.My first year following the Avs was Sacco's last year here. I wasn't on these message boards or didn't talk to anyone about the Avs really. I had no idea about "Casper". That summer was when I joined an Avs board and one of the first posts I ever made was grading the players'. I gave Stastny a C and literally said it was because he was invisible.
With the way Sergachev is playing so far, they might not have to kick themselves for very long.I bet Tampa is still kicking themselves for drafting Drouin over Jones.

They also lost Suter for nothing. Ridiculous defensePisses me off how Nashville can trade a Seth Jones and dont lose a beat. We lose Cody Mcleod and cant replace him.

Me too. But I think he takes a pay cut to stay in St. Louis. He seems to like it there and St. Louis doesn't have a ton of center options.I love Stastny, I'd welcome him back here if he wanted to come.
