So he could go for a LHD. Could someone give me a list of 5 d-men that would make sense value wise.
(ignoring the other team's needs. just assume that they could clone that player and trade him for all I care)
I think his skill is undeniable, but that doesn't mean that he's gonna get you that home run player.
A lot of Oil fans suggested that Hall would only be traded for an established #1 d-man despite being a winger and then he was traded for Larsson, whom many people thought to be a #3/#4 and despite that he's played like a #1/#2 for Edmonton this year.
I know how bad it sucks to suck. Look at me Oil4Life. That's been me through the thick and the thin.
If I were an Avs fan I would pray to whatever deity I believe in every night for Sakic to get fired and then for Mac (if he's actually getting traded) to be traded to either the Nucks or the Stars for their first rounder plus at least a useful middle six forward/ bottom pairing d-man and maybe another minor asset.
I really don't understand what Avs fans could hope to acquire in a 1 for 1 trade or what people from other fanbases would expect, but I'd really like to know. (Thanks!)
Out of curiosity, why do you believe Sakic needs to be fired? Is it that he took over a team with maybe 5 NHL caliber players (including a pending UFA in Stastny and a severely disgruntled player in ROR) and 0 organizational depth, and hasn't turned them into a contender in 4 years as GM? Or is it simply that the team imploded this year after their coach rage quit in August and 1/2 of the team didn't want to try to win games?
