There's no way in hell Sakic would even consider ROR. This board is really living in a fantasy world when it comes to bringing back former AVS players.
Joe Pavelski
Wayne Simmonds
Anders Lee
Jordan Eberle
Yanni Gourde
Derick Brassard
Mats Zuccarello
Jakob Silfverberg
We're ~8 games in around the league - there are no rumours this early - and I'm hardy an insider privy to what GMs are thinking. But quality players moving at some point in a season is hardly unheard of, it happens every year. The Avs need their equivalent of what the Kings did with Richards / Carter. I'm not suggesting two adds or something of that sort, or specifically that calibre of player, but I'm not sure why suggesting that - at some point this year - Sakic should be looking to address secondary scoring and add a quality top six forward is such a contentious issue for you.

No Skinner is terrible , Kerfoot is better . Have you watched Skinner lately, he is hardly an NHL player.Lol. Skinner is a much better player than Kerfoot. How can you even compare the two?
Also, I doubt Pavelski leaves San Jose. Same goes for Lee in New York. Panarin has already apparently made it clear it's either L.A/NYR/CHI/TB/FLA if (when) he doesn't re-sign in Columbus.
So, what's left? 31 year old Wayne Simmonds, 32 year old Derrick Brassard, 32 year old Mats Zuccarello, Jordan Eberle, Yanni Gourde, and Jakob Silfverberg.
And that's assuming all of those players leave their teams for free agency. I don't see Zuccarello leaving the Rangers, and if the Islanders offer Eberle good enough money I can't see him leaving, either.
I'd be happy with Silfverberg but that's a long shot competing with so many teams for his services, including the Ducks.
He got a hat trick last nightNo Skinner is terrible , Kerfoot is better . Have you watched Skinner lately, he is hardly an NHL player.
True enough, but I mean he's struggling badly. So I think just a simple switch to the wing could be good for him.Give Jost more time. There is no need to be impatient now. The Avs are doing well. The big line is on fire and the goaltending has been great.

I mean something has to give. We can't have 3 lines that provide almost 0 offensive punch.
Give me bread man or give me deathPanarin.
I fast-forwarded the Canes game at times, but after reading some of their GDT they mentioned that Avs' broadcasting team said that the Avs wanted Slavin in the Duchene trade. Makes perfect sense why they declined that offer and why Avs still managed to get a HMS Titanic load of pieces.
I feel like that would have been about worth it for Canes if Duchene re-signed with them. But that is a big if.

I'm about 99% certain you don't know who Jeff Skinner is.No Skinner is terrible , Kerfoot is better . Have you watched Skinner lately, he is hardly an NHL player.

I mean he's basically a meme at this point, I don't see why people keep responding to his posts. Sometimes he makes decent points but most of the time....Why bother? Just ignore him.
