Rumor: Avs closing in on deal

[Meeqs]

I thought the Avs had two goalies under contract for next season, with the intention of resigning Bernier.

Varlamov and Francouz

Francouz could be NHL or AHL, no way to know until he plays. Its looking unlikely Bernier returns

 

[Echo Roku]

Negotiations with Bernier not going well.

Can't be bad enough to warrant trading for a goalie over signing one. Unless its a cheap trade.

If they're trading for a goalie, its more likely a future move than to fill the backup role

 

[Hasbro]

One thing about Anderson, is the possibility of ensuring even worse goaltending for the Senators next year. That has some value.

 

[Yatzhee]

an hour and a half to snuff out details?

 

[Pucker77]

Im not gonna believe it until I see it. Dater has been out of the loop since he was released from the newspaper in Denver.

Last year at the draft he made it sound guaranteed that the Avs had traded Landeskog.

And if the Avs just end up trading picks I still wont believe him, but if something decent involving players happens I will give him credit.

Zero recollection of that so I doubt it's true.

adrian dater is not a reliable source

He can be. Both of the BSN guys tweeted we were close to a deal so I would assume it’s true, but the Avs media is pretty trash compared to most teams.

 

[BigRig4]

McGuire saying Skinner is headed to a team in the West, could be the Avs?

 

[hockeykicker]

seems like he isnt the only one

 

[Mighty Makar]

I’m thinking the Kings.

adrian dater is not a reliable source

For Avs-specific news, he usually is. He may have lost his job by being a creep towards women, but he didn't lose his contacts.

 

[Grigowski]

I’m thinking the Kings.

Kings are waiting on Kovalchuk to make a decision...

I think it could be Anaheim...

 

[Hivemind]

Kings are waiting on Kovalchuk to make a decision...

I've seen this movie before

 

[Hasbro]

Dater said on the BSN podcast he'd be in New Hampshire for the draft so who the hell knows how reliable this is.

I may have had the timing mixed up, but I am 90% sure that it happened at some point last year. I remember people were going crazy on twitter because of it.

It was either the draft or around the trade deadline. Im pretty sure it was last year, because people were "doubting Landeskog's ability to lead." However, it may have been the year before that.

I'll try to find it.

During our disaster year a Landy trade was very very close to happening. That wasn’t BS, but supposedly Landy came to Sakic and said he wanted to stay and be part of the solution for the Avs so I’m assuming that is probably why the trade didn’t go through.

 

[PromisedLand]

What’s going on with Ottawa’s pick?
Are they keeping it or sending it to Colorado?
If Colorado gets Ottawa’s pick, then i could easily see the Avs doing 16th for Grub.

Good point. I would also like to know this. How long does Ottawa have to decide? When is Ottawa suppose to tell Avs which 1st rounder (this draft or next) are they getting.

There were a shitload of rumours of Landy to the Bruins for a few minutes last season at the time Sakic and Sweeney were seen talking to eachother. Also speculation of the Kings. At some point last season there were just as many rumours of Landy as Dutch going, but then Landy showed himself as the Captain he is and Duchene as the douche he is and, well, that was that...

I think Dater was the main one doubting Landeskogs ability to lead, so that probably had a lot to do with it.

When their pick is on the clock. It's all moot though, the Sens are keeping this years' pick, as they should. So that's one atleast one good decision made by the Sens the last 9 months.

BSN broke the Matt Duchene trade.

I don't know man if waiting to decide whether to trade this years or next years 1st rounder to the avs until their pick is on the clock is wise that is some mighty LOL right there.

Ottawa traded Hoffman though; so it looks like at least 2 good decisions

Responding to the "when is Ottawa supposed to tell the Avs...", pretty sure they decided to keep it a looong time ago. But yeah, you're right, the Hoffman-trade makes it two
