Big and fast, the Colorado bottom 6 is going to be a nightmare to deal with
We?I'll gladly take a 3rd for Duhaime. UFA that clearly was tapped out as a physical 4th-line winger. Easily replaceable.
No only if we have some veteran scorers on tradeable contracts.
Good luck getting an NHL 4th liner with that 3rd!I'll gladly take a 3rd for Duhaime. UFA that clearly was tapped out as a physical 4th-line winger. Easily replaceable.

A 2026 3rd who will be a NHL 4th liner probably draft plus 4. So in 2030, you might have a nhl 3/4th liner, when mack is like 34 years old.Good luck getting an NHL 4th liner with that 3rd!
More appropriate from me than others.
Considering Duhaime was a 4th, I'll take the upgrade.Good luck getting an NHL 4th liner with that 3rd!
Yup, it's pretty easy to check this out. Just got to Hockey Reference, or some site like that, click on 3rd rounders, see how many pan out, and when they pan out. A 3rd is nothing.A 2026 3rd who will be a NHL 4th liner probably draft plus 4. So in 2030, you might have a nhl 3/4th liner, when mack is like 34 years old.
Its a win-win. Better for minny to get a pick than lose him for nothing in UFA. Better for the Avs to have any player who is playable in the NHL playoffs than a 3rd round pick. Duhaime is at least playable in the playoffs and can also allow LoC/Parise/wood to rest in the rest of the regular season.Yup, it's pretty easy to check this out.

Energy guys tend to burn out during a long season so its never a bad thing to have kiviranta as a 14th.He'll be fine as a depth energy guy with some physicality. Pushes Kiviranta down to like 14th which isn't a bad thing.
Only if he wants to play for a winner for a change.Damn, i like duhaime. Seems weird that Guerin has no spot for him, as he should be a cheap re-sign, given his stats, and no replacement in the system plays with his physicality, speed, and toughness.
Happy for him that he has a chance for a Cup, not happy that it's CO, but he doesn't have to re-sign there, does he?
Especially since the Canucks are contenders.Given the price I'm fine with not making this move
We still have our 2024 1st lolI didn't realize Colorado had picks left to trade
3rd rounders can be used to move up in the 2nd too. Could be the difference between trading for a player in 2025, or not.Good luck getting an NHL 4th liner with that 3rd!
Not sure about your second point. I dont think a super far out 3rd has ever been the deal breaker in a significant trade.3rd rounders can be used to move up in the 2nd too. Could be the difference between trading for a player in 2025, or not.
I'll take the currency over a below average 4th liner.
It won't be super far out in 2025. Just saying that it's extra ammo for a possible trade when we're no longer handcuffed by the buyouts.Cmac is tramatized by the beaucage and the steinbergs of the world that the Avs scouting staff banged the table for. Good thing most of them have been fired.

I mean he’s a 4th liner, if he was special, he wouldn’t be a 4th liner.It won't be super far out in 2025. Just saying that it's extra ammo for a possible trade when we're no longer handcuffed by the buyouts.
Maybe a trade opportunity presents itself where a 1st + 2 3rds gets it done when a 1st + 3rd doesn't. Or 1st + 3rd + 4th doesn't. Never know.
I appreciate how he made it to the NHL, but he's one of the definitions of "nothing special".
You can still be "special" within the role you're asked to play.I mean he’s a 4th liner, if he was special, he wouldn’t be a 4th liner.
As long as he knows his role and does it well for his ~10 minutes a game while contributing with a point every once in a while, that’s all that the Avs should need out of him.
I doubt those are significant enough where you can't switch it with a prospect. A prospect whose developed decently is more desirable than a 3rd. Its not good to just give those away if you dont have a player like mack in his prime.It won't be super far out in 2025.
