Ummm...things got a little different the last time. So, let's talk hockey?
I demand a trade for Pageau!

You guys are going to be so disappointed when all that happens is our regular AHL for AHL player trade and Sakic says "I like what we have in the room already".
"Colin Wilson is essentially our rental addition."
I mean, who else gets to add a literal reanimated corpse to their team at the deadline? You have to admit it's an advantage.
They are in a strange place. The Avalanche are at least a year ahead of schedule on the rebuild and are counting on assets joining the team starting next season that before going all in for a title. Sakic has to have his cake and eat it too on the trade front this year.I mean, who else gets to add a literal reanimated corpse to their team at the deadline? You have to admit it's an advantage.
It's funny though because everyone is doing their exact best to prevent what type of injury he has/had. Every single quote - both on television and articles - which mentions injured Avs, only say that "Wilson has successfully had surgery ̶t̶o̶ ̶o̶v̶e̶r̶c̶o̶m̶e̶ ̶d̶e̶a̶t̶h̶ on a lower-body injury". No word on if it's a hip flexor or groin or the black plague...we don't know if he's out for the entire year..."Colin Wilson is essentially our rental addition."
Wilson would be a welcome addition over Jost and probably Nieto and Kamenev.
I like Kamanev's game this year. He is growing into a nice looking center for us and has flashed some offensive upside. He definitely offers more than Jost. Nieto plays a nice game on the 4th line too. We need his energy.
I know it would probably include Byram, but I think Hertl's contract situation is something to keep our eye on. Sure he's signed, but him being Duchene 2.0 is going to come quite fast and he might not want to re-sign, especially in two years Sharks could realistically be a re-tooling club.There is no reason for San Jose to trade Meier or Hertl, unfortunately...those are literally their two young stars. Why would an aging team trade one of it's two best young players...? Not happening.

I’m just hoping they get desperate and stupid, similar to when the Caps traded Forsberg
We need Byram more.Probably opening another can of worms here... But Timo Meier is on the short list of players I would move Byram for.

Go all for broke! Use our two 1st's, 2nd, Toronto's 3rd, Newhook and Timmins to aquire Pageau, Kreider and Hertl. Our picks and prospect poll will be in shambles, but we might get a cup.
