Rumor: 2019-2020 Trade Rumours and Free Agent Discussion Part 2

[Cousin Eddie]

If any scouts or GM’s are tuning into Avalanche games to check out Tyson Jost in probably means they come away not wanting Tyson Jost.

Truth... they will go back to the amateur scouts who a pound the table and say "check your f***ing eyes."

They might just fire whoever brought up acquiring Jost.

 

[Ararana]

ah crap. I don't want to go through another bout of trade speculation with Buffalo fans...

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Jesus Christ I would too lol

we'd certainly have to add.


But I do think Risto is an excellent fit on this team, especially if we are looking at trading Zadorov away.

 

[UncleRisto]

They're thinking about swapping Jost for Johan Larsson and we're just here like "I like Montour".

 

[Perratrooper]

If we trade Zadorov we better go out and get someone else who can punish opposing teams. The last thing we need is making it to playoffs only to watch our stars pull a Calgary due to being assaulted by unskilled goons.

 

[Hornstar]

Yeah let's trade z. I think the idea of thachuck, evander, and half the golden knights goon squads taking liberties with Girard, makar, hell even Mack will really slow down once he's gone.
Z over graves, Barb, Cole and I would even say ej. For me it's not close

Jost looks like a much better athlete this year (i.e. more explosive skating, more consistent energy), but his hockey sense is just trash. It feels like every shot he takes gets deflected out of play.

On the plus side, he’s now 9/34 in the face off circle, improving to 26.5%...

 

[Bubba Thudd]

Jost is waiting for Z to be traded, then he'll show his true worth...as our enforcer!

 

[Patagonia]

Jost needs to be sent down. Kamenev needs an opportunity after being scratched every game this season.

Hopefully, Jost is just in so he can be showcased to a potential trade partner.
Of course, he's pretty much killed any chance of anyone wanting to trade anything of any value for him.
Even Kerfoot put on better displays.

And that's because Kerf is a far better player.

Yeah as much as I don’t like Kerf, he’s an infinitely better hockey player than Jost.

 

[henchman21]

I'd agree with that. At this point Kerfoot is a better hockey player.

 

[Pokecheque]

I'd agree with that. At this point Kerfoot is a better hockey player.

I don't think its erroneous to say it's likely going to stay that way. However, it's obvious who the better player at the collegiate level was.

 

[Vaslof]

Kerfoot and Jost both debuted the same year for their first full NHL season, BUT Jost is 4 years younger. Kerfoot might be better now but Jost can still break out.

I can see this too. It would be a mistake to trade him IMO, unless its for a big piece.

 

[UncleRisto]

Jost has no reason to be in the minors. He's an NHLer. He isn't a good NHLer but he is an NHLer.

 

[Foppa2118]

I don't think its erroneous to say it's likely going to stay that way. However, it's obvious who the better player at the collegiate level was.

That may end up being the case, but it's not a fair comparison to make right now. Jost is still two years younger than Kerfoot was as a rookie with the Avalanche.

 

[henchman21]

I don't think its erroneous to say it's likely going to stay that way. However, it's obvious who the better player at the collegiate level was.

Hard to say, but you could be right. Kerfoot is a complimentary middle 6 guy and Jost is a complimentary bottom 6 guy. Jost has to improve and show a lot more versatility to be better than Kerfoot.

I get people have different standards and see things differently, but I simply don’t see any skating improvement with Jost. He’s not a terrible skater, he’s average and at his size he needs to be a lot better that that. I think people hear the complaints and expect him to be David Koci bad, but he’s just average.

 

[Pokecheque]

You can go ahead and continue to hold out hope for that but I think we've seen enough to know that ain't happenin'.

 

[Pokecheque]

Enough of this. We know what Jost's shortcomings are and we know he hasn't displayed anything to truly suggest he's going to overcome them. We are talking about Year Three and there's been virtually no sustained progress whatsoever. People can slag Kerf all they want but he has one thing Jost doesn't--skating ability.

And it's not just speed, it's strength on his skates and it's also maneuverability that Jost lacks, that's yet another reason he's absolutely worthless battling for the puck along the boards. Even Steven frickin' Reinprecht (who I thought was a reasonably good NHL center but atrocious as a winger) was worlds better than Jost.
