Rumor: 2021-22 Trade Rumors and Free Agency Part 13: there giroux

[Avsboy]

If you're "all in" and Frosberg is available, don't you at least have to call Nashville?

I'm sure Sakic called

Lekhonen > Crouse IMO. He’s a play driver like Nuke. I would pay a lot for him and sign him too. What are you all seeing in Crouse that I’m missing? I know he’s big but he’s not that physical

He's always been a very good defensive winger. He PKs. He's got an underrated wrister and a heavy slapper. Big body that drives the net which the Avs could use. Decent speed for a big body. And he's having his best offensive season on pace for 26 goals and 44 points.

Also he hits a lot and very hard. Though he'd probably hit less in Colorado.

Hits

Crouse - 174

EJ - 134
Landy - 94
NAK - 91
Helm - 82
LOC - 75
MacDermid - 73
Makar - 72
JJ - 71

Forsberg will be moved attached to an 8 year deal IMO, just like Lindholm.

And we can't afford another 8M+ player.

Yeah I was thinking as well that I guess if they pulled a Florida they could do it.

But I don't think Joe is willing to completely sell the future like that.


Personally I'd do it. You're getting two guys that help for likely the next 3 runs anyway.

I agree that Sakic probably wouldn't dream of doing that. He'd probably see it like he's burning into MacFarland's future asset pool when he takes over as GM. Now is the time though, and both players would have plenty of term. I'd probably prefer Lehkonen over Crouse though personally, but I would be ok with moving a 1st for Crouse.
