Rumor: 2020-21 Trade Rumours and FA Part VI: Pre-Deadline Addition

[BaconNater]

If Hall does come to Colorado hope he brings his Hart trophy with so Nate can rightfully take back what is his

 

[BobRossColton]

I've always wanted hertl.
Nuke-hertl-donskoi

 

[Metallo]

If Sakic wants a depth forward I could see him kicking tires on Lehkonen. The price might be cheaper than Janmark due to Montreal being motivated for cap reasons, and Lehkonen has term as an RFA as well.

Why? He’s not really good and not a center.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I've always wanted hertl.
Nuke-hertl-donskoi

I’d love Hertl, think he’d fit in great on the Avs. Also don’t think he’d be available

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

If Foligno lands a 1st and two 4ths, you gotta think Hall is going for at least a 1st.

 

[BobRossColton]

I’d love Hertl, think he’d fit in great on the Avs. Also don’t think he’d be available

Yeah he'd be expensive, roster+pick+prospect. That would also be a pricy third line.

 

[Avs_19]

If Foligno lands a 1st and two 4ths, you gotta think Hall is going for at least a 1st.

We'll see but supposedly not.

Lets hope Parnass and the analytics staff, who almost can't miss right now, are pounding the table for Hall.

 

[Foppa2118]

If Foligno lands a 1st and two 4ths, you gotta think Hall is going for at least a 1st.

Yeah, but Toronto paid that price to only pay 25% of Foligno's salary.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

We'll see but supposedly not.

Lets hope Parnass and the analytics staff, who almost can't miss right now, are pounding the table for Hall.

Yeah, I don’t see the risk in picking up Hall. Let’s say he plays at his low end, you can just put him on the 3rd line.

The only question is how much is Sakic willing to pay for a rental? T-bay and Toronto obviously feel like going all-in.

 

[LostInMosEisley]

I'd like to see something around J.T. Compher and Vlad Namestnikov. Avs probably have to add an asset like a pick or mid level prospect.

 

[Iceberg]

That would be quite bad value. What we need is a 3C anyway.

If it's true that we were in on Foligno, it means Sakic isn't necessarily looking for a center. And Bennett can play center as well.

More importantly is that Bennett brings a physical game that we need, has performed really well in the playoffs and would be more than just a rental.

 

[AvsWraith]

I just want another hustle player with speed like Nuke.

 

[Avs_19]

The perfect fit for this Avs team/system. Likely a great fit next to Kadri. Very available and might not even cost a 1st rd pick.

Foligno plays more center than Bennett who barely does it. Let’s get a real center.

 

[Metallo]

Why his this guy pumping Hall’s tires so much?

 

[letsgoavs1921]

I don't even want Hall, but I don't know how the Avs don't take a flyer on him for less than a 1st.

They could easily be getting a highly motivated former Hart trophy winner ready to light it up on a contender, for super cheap.

If the Sabres would take Compher back, that seems like a no brainer to me.

Don’t do it. Everywhere he goes they lose. I live in Phoenix , and everyone was happy when they got him last year. They were in first place. I told them it was a bad move and they tanked.

Maybe that's true, but I think the Coyotes tanked because they were a supremely overrated team waiting to crash back to earth.

Same with the Sabres for that matter. Both those franchises are dumpster fires.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

The perfect fit for this Avs team/system. Likely a great fit next to Kadri. Very available and might not even cost a 1st rd pick.

Agreed. I’d bump Saad down to the 4th line and slot my left wing depth like this:

Landeskog
Hall
Nichushkin
Saad

You could also move Saad to 3rd line right wing if Donskoi goes on a prolonged cold streak.

Do we know for sure the Avs were in on Foligno? It was reported to the media but not from Colorado. Teams and agents leak erroneous information to the media all the time in order to manipulate the situation.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Bob bombs are the best. I don’t know why Carter to Pit excites me so much. He’s old and average. They’re old and average. But yet nothing gets me going like a player being traded who nobody knew was available.

 

[The Abusement Park]

I'd still try to get Bennett for our 1st.

For a 1st? Oof.

 

[Iceberg]

For a 1st? Oof.

Tampa Bay style.
