Speculation: 2021 Offseason Trade/Free Agency Thread - Episode IV : A New Hope

[Arthuros]

I get the whole sunk cost thing, but we've already drafted McTavish - might as well see what he can do.

I'd prefer not to mess around with Eichel at this point no matter the package. Someone else can break the bank if they want.

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

I’ve seen enough of this Eichel soap opera that I’ve lost interest completely. Either we get him or we don’t.

I wouldn’t want to part with next years first either. We could potentially get Wright, Lambert (!) or Savoie. Next years draft is potentially looking wonderful.

 

[duxfan1101]

If the Avs really do lose Landeskog (can't believe that's a legitimate possibility), I wonder if they go after Eichel at all. They are for sure going to use that cap space.

Would have been happy with adding Buchnevich or even Reinhart, and after the returns they got, kinda annoyed Bob didn't make a push for them. They were both very affordable. Heck, Buch didn't even get a 1st round pick return.

 

[duxfan1101]

This will bring them right up to the cap.

That's a good point, they can for sure put together a good package, plus they are a West team. Newhook, their 2022 1st is a solid start + they can add Timmins, Jost, others. Would make sense for both sides, imo.

I really really like next years draft class. 3 very high end talents with Wright being Eichel level ?
For 2023 we only hear about Bedard and Michkov but the odds of the Ducks getting a top2 pick is less than getting a top3 pick.
I would be incredibly happy even with the #3 Savoie !

MacKinnon and Eichel down the middle.......and having Makar as their #1D.
They could do Newhook + Erik Johnson + Byram since they don't have a top pick and then just sign Hoffman with the freed cap space of moving Johnson.

 

[duxfan1101]

I wouldn’t mind taking on Reilly Smith for a year, especially if Vegas pays us to do so.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Yeah, Colorado's definitely a team to watch for Eichel

So is our gameplan to #washoutforwright? #loseforlambert? what's our tank tag this year.

We almost traded for Virtanen past season and now he will be bought out. Depending on the contract size, I think Bob will go after him.

I'm somewhat worried but I don't know if Virtanen is gonna get signed any time soon by anyone.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

Would rather bring back Ritchie or Kase after 1 of them is not qualified by Boston than Virtanen.

 

[DavidBL]

What do people think of Teresanko?

 

[terranraida]

I loved Kase but I think letting him go was the right move. dudes just got too many concussion injuries, but I am very thankful to have witnessed his hat trick in person a few years ago in the Dallas comeback game.

Bob has been interested in him more than once before (including very recently). At the end of the year, Bob complained about this team not playing hard enough and not going to the dirty areas.
Not sure when he will be signed but when it happens, I wouldn't be surprised if it's us.

Isn't there some sex offender case filed against him? I don't think anyone's gonna sign him until that's settled and after that depending on the outcome.

yeah I see us taking a flyer on him for cheap. I won’t hate it either

 

[Static]

Virtanen has a sexual assault case pending. No way anyone touches him until that is resolved and no way I want any part of him after it is.

 

[Mr Rogers]

#DestroyForSavoie

Is that how he pronounces it? Lol

 

[Static]

Could see us taking a flyer

If it isn't we can just add a little French flourish at the end of detroy.

Destr-ouah
