As a ~Plan J, I'd look into buying low on Nolan Patrick in the near future. Might be a little pressure on Chuck to right his ship in a hurry.

Understood as plan j. I like the idea was just curious. At this moment I really am not gonna fear a young prospect who has potential at our biggest need.It does, but that's where the "buying low" comes in. If it can be done, I think it'd be worth the risk. If it had to expand to include something like Dumba for whatever reason, I'd be a lot more hesitant/unwilling.
I'd rather take a shot at it, even if it fails, than trot Rask/Bjugstad/Bonino out there again.
And again, it's something to kick around after a handful of other things don't come to fruition first.
I suggested that in the past on here; flyers fans said they’d prob like to keep him. Maybe things have changed since their collapse though.As a ~Plan J, I'd look into buying low on Nolan Patrick in the near future. Might be a little pressure on Chuck to right his ship in a hurry.
Patrick will be 23 yo RFA starting next season, has a terrible injury history, terrible production, and hasn't been playing Center in the NHL. The only thing he has going for him was that he was drafted highly. He would have to be cheap as hell for us to have any interest. I wouldn't pay Beckman, or ROR....maybe Khovanov, but I'd just as soon gamble on him.

Laughton...he'd be an ok 3C. He will be a UFA. How much do you want to pay for a guy like that, and how much do you want to re-sign for? He'd be an improvement over Bonino, Rask, Bjugstad, for sure. Do you want to pay him open market price? 3-4M for 3-4 years? I wouldn't want to pay a 1st for him as a rental. Maybe a 3rd and Firstov?
Why don't you read what I wrote before you criticize me?Hes is also 22 not 23 jeesh.
Do you check easily available stats before posting or do you just go with what sounds right in your head lol

Avs are stacked so it’s gonna be tough for the next decadeI mean I'm fine staying put and betting on our group of Ek, Rossi, Khovanov, Khusnusdinov and potentially 2021 1st rounder.
Mostly this, but I would like him to go out and get a middle six C in trade(Monahan?) or FA(Danault?) for next season. Bjugstad and Bonino will be gone, and hopefully Rask bought out. Sturm and Hartman can be 4C's. JEE, and maybe Rossi will be the other middle six C's, until someone is able to step up and become a #1.I mean I'm fine staying put and betting on our group of Ek, Rossi, Khovanov, Khusnusdinov and potentially 2021 1st rounder.
This is the one option that is completely unacceptable.I mean I'm fine staying put and betting on our group of Ek, Rossi, Khovanov, Khusnusdinov and potentially 2021 1st rounder.
Kaprizovs prime is certainly longer than 2 or so years. He's got a good 8 to 10 years left barring anything serious.If your goal is to finish 2nd to Colorado and take your chances in the playoffs then fine but if you want to swing for the fences and try to maximize success while Kaprizov is in his prime then they are going to have to be more aggressive than sitting back and waiting to see what this young center group looks like in 3-4 years. I'm starting to like the idea of taking a chance on a guy like Monahan.
Care to elaborate?This is the one option that is completely unacceptable.
