Rumor: Avs Proposals/Rumors/Free Agents 18-19 part XVII| Are We Sellers?

[Avs_19]

The Wild save some money but that looks like a really bad trade for them.

 

[dahrougem2]

We could use size in our bottom 9 that’s for sure. Could be worth it but idk. I’d rather use Jost as part of a bigger trade.

I'm of the opinion that if we can see how bad Jost is, and how little upside there is, then other NHL GM's aren't going to want him as part of a larger package deal.

 

[Balthazar]

Wonder if they'll trade Coyle too. Nino and Coyle were 2 big time underperforming players for them this year. They won't trade him here but I'd like Coyle.

GM’s are dumb. I’m sure he could be the grigorenko of a trade.

Varly wasn't the reason we lost yesterday but he still finished with a SP .867. And this was one of his better games in the past 2 month. Anders ****ing Nilsson on the other hand had a .938.

You can blame Bednar all you want but goaltending and (for me at least) Special Teams are the main reasons we are losing most of the time.

What about the D infront of Varly specifically Barrie and Barberio?

That to me is a much bigger issue that Varlamov.

Coyle is such a tease. He infuriates me.

 

[Avs_19]

Jost for Puljujarvi looks like a pointless trade at this point unless you just want to swap disappointing and struggling high picks. Puljujarvi's physical tools are certainly more appealing compared to Jost but I don't see where it gets the Avs right now. Some people might feel this way about Jost too but Puljujarvi might have some issues that can't be fixed with some more development. Like the whole playing hard and knowing what to do on ice part of hockey. Puljujarvi's size is also irrelevant when even Jost plays a stronger game than he does.

 

[The Pwnerer]

Change of scenario type trade I like it. Now how about Varly for Bobrovsky?

 

[Avs_19]

Okay then. I didn't think they'd actually send Jost down. Let him play down there and hopefully something clicks.

 

[Papa Francouz]

Holy shit

 

[Foppberg]

Dayuuum. Didn't expect that. Good to see though.

For Jost. Graves should still be here.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Oh shit... man I hope this help. I think it’ll just destroy any ounce of confidence he has.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Daaaaaamn


That's a pretty significant "wake up" move IMO.

 

[Avs_19]

I've been a pretty big believer in Jost and still haven't given up but hopefully he stays with the Eagles for a bit. There's currently no role on the Avs that helps his development or the team so let him actually play meaningful minutes. Don't just call him up after five games or something.

 

[Foppberg]

Am I alone in feeling that Jost's hyper driven nature to make the NHL ASAP may be a negative factor in how he's developed so far?

 

[cgf]

An issue there is who is going to trade for Varly? Are they going to pay anything of significance? What if they trade Varly and Grubs gets hurt? Then you're rolling a Frank/Spence tandem... There are issues with trading Varly all around. If I was GM I'd send a clear message to Varly and Grubs, call up Frank and let him start a couple games in a row. Even if he falters it sends a message.

Trade varly & gru for a 2nd each. Use our 2020 1st & OTT's 3rd to get someone like Quick. Roll with Quick / Frank while keeping our 2019 1st for Knight.

Problem solved, problem staying solved...

 

[Papa Francouz]

Maybe they’re making a move for a forward and need the roster space?

You think LA will want to wait a season and a half plus development time before seeing a return on Quick? No way they do this.

Jost needs the AHL time, he sucks at the NHL level. Don't call him up this season no matter what, we have seen enough for now.

 

[BaconNater]

Hopefully this can help him. Hope it isn't for like 5 games or something useless like that.

Hot new trade on the horizon?

JK i wish, i am just antsy for some Avs action.

Keep him there for the rest of the season IMO. Play him on a line with Kaut, too. Whether at wing or centre, don't care. But play those two together the rest of this season.

Most kids want to make the NHL ASAP... orgs should be smart enough to avoid the temptation. Makar is a rarity in that area, and IMO, it has done him a world of good.

 

[lonelybadger]

Could he really have much less?

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Dang, there are a lot of trades going on.

I'm actually really happy to see Jost get sent down. Hopefully he uses this as motivation. It would be great if they ran with Greer-Jost-Kaut and let them develop chemistry and hopefully they dominate.
