Rumor: Avs closing in on deal

[BatVader]

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

So they’re keeping it...good.
I’m hoping the Habs trade down to get a Kotkaneimi and that Ottawa takes him first... would add to years of bad moves by Bergevin...lmao

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

They publicly announced a decision a long time ago. It just keeps coming up as an option because the only actual thing to officially, irreversibly make a decision is to use the pick.

I don’t recall anything about them deciding.
My bad.
Thanks for the info.

Alright, like I said earlier in this thread, I would not believe it until I saw it because of how unreliable I think Dater is.

But he deserves credit on this one. He called the deal an hour before it broke.

About 3 hours before actually I think, unless my time stamps are all wrong
