Kadri is an underrated player, but what would Colorado gain by trading Barrie AND JTC for him? Nothing. I don't think I'd do Barrie straight up.Kadri for Barrie + Compher
Always thought Tyler Johnson would fit well in Colorado. Greer and a 2nd is about as much as I'd give right now, though. Jost still has a lot of the tools to become a 2C on this team. His skating ability and confidence are the only things that worry me.
He has 2 points so far. So not great.
Nope. You thinking of j.t. compher? Go look it up.3 goals 1 assist 4 points in 6 games entering today's game.

I was actually hoping someone would throw down a name we hadn't thought of too.
That’s what I made this for
I know! I was really interested to see if anything came out of it. Zibby is interesting, but I didn't figure the price would be reasonable. I'm not really ok with a Hayes rental either.
Carter's contract is an absolute no go too.
I fully know the ROR ship sailed away, but I can't help but be jealous of the price they paid.
I'm not sure there is a long term solution available through trade unless something changes for a team between now and the TDL. Kadri and Zibby are the only two names that are interesting.
No one has that Stepan, Staz, ROR, player available right now.
My dream add would be Trochek. But no way that happens.
I wouldn't expect this kind of clueless homerism even on the Avs play by play broadcast.
I think the Avs should go after a TDL C rental if they're still positioned the way they are. young 2C (so 50-55ish pts) as you're suggesting are guys like Schmaltz, RNH, Horvat, Zib etc. which I highly doubt are available from the opposing teams (maybe RNH, but it'll cost a valuable piece I would think)
I don't get why so many Avs fans are so impatient when it comes to letting our youngster develop. Jost is still only 20. Kerfoot is still only a 2nd year player, as is Compher. MacKinnon just turned 23. Rantanen is 22. On top of that, Sakic keeps talking about how he wants the youngsters to step up and grow into roles. What's the rush?
Yeah even if they blow that up he won't be one of the players they sell off.
OR you have that long term solution in the OTT pick potentially... trade lesser pieces to get a serviceable 2C for the POs/rental+1. Keep the OTT pick to draft one of Hughes/Cozens/Kakko/Dach to develop. Rental+1 (Avs have sufficient cap room next year, even after paying Rants) would be optimal as it will allow the newly drafted C a year to develop.Nah. The avs should save their ammo for a blockbuster that solves the situation long term.
What the team needs if they were to do anything, would be something like the Ottawa pick + Kaut or Kerfoot + Timmins, or Barrie + our pick + Andrighetto, for a young stud like Trochek or Draisaitl; should their teams end up in the tanking race once again this season.
Short of someone like that, who can anchor a line that punishes teams for the attention that the Bottle Kids require, it’s better to sit tight and wait for a trade like that to materialize...while taking our swing at an FA star like Stone, and hoping that the lotto gods grant us Hughes.

It’ll all be ok when Edmonton finally gives up Drae for Barrie, Sven and a top 10 (but not top 4) pick from Ottawa at the draft.
After blueball’ing me as fiercely as they did with Radu, it’s the least the hockey gods can do.
Why waste assets? Just draft Hughes, Cozens, or Dach with ottawa's pick.
That's some spot marketWith how Drai has been him straight up for Barrie just so Edm can get away from that cap could be a possibility. Keep in mind this is PC, he's not going to pull off a better deal than that.
Given the current standings, which can easily change these would be my top 5 picks:
Kevin Hayes
Frans Nielsen - Limited NTC
Brock Nelson
Matt Duchene -
Eric Staal - Modified NTC
I doubt Minnesota even if they were out of the picture would trade Staal to a division rival, and I doubt Ottawa would trade with Colorado after the original Duchene deal. I think there will be limited 2C options come trade deadline for sure. Not a lot of UFA power coming up, and the guys that could be moved aren't the high end 2C's. Serviceable, and very underrated like Nielsen but not the piece I think Colorado needs.
