We need forwards. We are thin there. But sure lets take there very average defenseman back for Kreider

Burakovsky would be perfect for us. A 1st and him for Kreider is win/win for both teams. It's actually so perfect that it likely will never happen tho...lol
It'll be Jost off their roster if we trade with the Avs. Don't overthink it.

Considering how loaded Colorado is, I could definitively see a 1st and Jost being something Sakic would certainly think long and hard about. I personally would rather Burakovsky but if it was Jost instead, I'd be fine with that seeing he's still real young and has quite a bit of upside himself and very much fits into the rebuild and the kinds of players we want going forward.

Maybe Gorton surprises everyone and brings the prodigal son Ryan Graves back home

If Tony D is traded then it needs to be a hockey trade. For a LD of similar worth or a young forward. Can't trade him for parts and futures IMO.

Fast doesn't move the needle enough IMO for them to include both Burakovsky and Jost. Now you want to add Compher who is actually a nice complimentary piece and a 1st? Not a chance in the world.
Dude, that would be a fantastic deal for us but no way on gods green earth would Sakic do that. Let's not get greedy here. We'd be fortunate and we should thank our lucky stars if Sakic would do either Burakovsky or Jost and a 1st for Kreider.
I forgot Buchnevich lmfao.. Kreider Buchnevich, Fast for Compher, Burakovsky, Jost, 1st

Doesnt make much sense at all for the Avs. They are basically losing the same offensive production they are bringing in, and then giving away their first also. Jost makes sense, Bura doesnt.

You wouldn’t want someone like that on our team? An average player isn’t near best in the league in any category, which he undoubtedly is. He’s a superb skater as well & great character who’s a lockerroom favorite everywhere he goes. I think he’d be a great piece to balance out our undersized offensive-minded blueline.
A young defenseman of high draft pedigree who can skate and is one of the best hitters in the league and a 1st is a pretty fair return for Kreider. I’d much rather have that than a 1st & a prospect who’s not likely to pan out or a 2nd. If what we’re returning in this deal is a dman, we’re drafting a forward with that pick and seeking forwards through our other moves. We have a lot of D prospects sure but it’s still our worst position on our roster

Kreider is a totally different type of player than Burakovsky is tho. His physicality and speed and his willingness to get down and dirty in the scoring areas is the opposite of Burakovsky and is exactly what the Avalanche would need in the playoffs.
I hear ya about the points being similar but that's not always the tell all. I was thinking Kreiders intangibles would be quite attractive to Sakic to possibly pull the trigger.
I do agree with you that Jost would likely be on paper an easier player than Burakovsky to give up plus the 1st from an Avalanche point of view.

Can we have separate threads for legitimate, verifiable rumors And discussion vs this throw-anything-at-the-wall thatll never happen in a billion years stuff I’m forced to scroll through here?
Burakovsky would be Buchnevich here. Unless he was guaranteed to ride shotgun with Zib or Panarin and had some chemistry he’d be a fast guy with all the tools who can go on hot streaks. I like him a lot, but I don’t think he’d be much different from Buch here.
I’m very happy the Devils made the Hall trade in December. Right now there are 7-8 teams that think they can win the Stanley Cup and it seems every one of them needs a scoring winger.
It does not appear that the Rangers have made Kreider available at this time. Of course that could change at a moments notice.
You all know that I would prefer to see Kreider signed and not traded but if he is made available to other teams, the bidding will be very heated. He would bring back more than Nash.

And a first though. You’re not going to get a first and a player better than Zadorov

I still don't think Sakic even considers that as it would be too many moving parts. If Colorado is going to make a move, it would be simply bringing in a Kreider alone and that's about it.
They don't need much as like I said, they are loaded and ready to make a Cup run. Kreider would help them alot especially because they are going to have to get past the Blues and probably the Stars in order to get out of the West.

There are people here talking about getting Bryam & Newhook back for Kreider & Georgiev, but thinking Zadorov & a 1st for a rental is a fair return is “video game garbage”?

Why would we be trading for a defenseman when our minor system is full of them and thin on forwards

Because Kreider has no place in our future top 6 and paying him Skjei money to play till he’s 35 on the third line is a bad idea.
They are just so few...
Gorton is keeping all doors open on Kreider.
Gorton is listening on Geo, but it’s going to take a lot. Maybe even Kapanen isn’t enough.
Gorton tried to get Puljujärvi for Lias before the December deadline for Puljs.
Gorton is trying to trade Lias but won’t be in a hurry.
Don’t think you have anything more?
Maybe it could be a 1st post in thread thing? Basically I think we could just staple @RangerBoy ’s posts on each other to get all rumors.
