I was being sarcastic about Jost being worth Pesce after 2 games.
Getting too close to puck drop for any more major trades for the day.
Plus we wouldn't want too many in a single day. Gotta have a steady stream to keep you going haha

Same questions could have been asked with Cole, who they wanted to trade for and then ended up signing....
The Avs are not real thrilled with their defensive depth and have been looking to make a move there for a while. The rumors have them going after more of a 4/5 type than a top 3 type.

I find that personally pretty frustrating. They need a quality top four.
I wonder where Stone will go.
Jets? Nashville? Anyone else been rumored?

Flames have been going hard after Stone and Zucc. Also apparently Boston really wants Stone.
I totally get that, but when we signed Cole we didn't have Cole, or 2 high end prospects on the way. Is he coming in to be a depth guy or is a kid sitting.
If we take out Barrie/Nemeth we still have
G/EJ
Cole/Makar
Z/Timmins
Graves/Barbs
Meloche
I just don't see anything about Jensen that makes moving for him make any sense.
Like its not like I doubt the validity of your claim, I just can't see a scenario where I'm like yeah that makes sense.
If the Avs expected it to be for a cheap rental to replace Nemeth for a playoff run, then I guess? That would mean that like me though they didn't expect him to be traded for that much.

Tims is still recovering and the Avs have no idea where he will be next year or if he will ever be a NHL player (remember how great Bigras was going to be?). Along with that, Z and Barbs might not be long for the world here. It will frustrate many around here, but the Z rumors are far, far more prevalent than the Barrie rumors (which are basically, you want him, give up a young high-end 2nd liner or not happening). The Avs just are not super happy with the group, and Jensen would have been an upgrade and answer fit some of what they are trying to inject with Jensen's skating ability.

Yeah I get why they're doing it, I respect it in someways. I guess the disconnect comes from me thinking only a cup win would be worth it versus others thinking a 2nd or 3rd round exit would be a win.
If it was the Avs I'd rather not trade for Duchene and offload Panarin + Bob for 1sts + prospects, further adding to the core of PLD, Jones, Werenski, etc to build towards making a real contender versus praying to God that we do it this one single spring.
Just my opinion, but that's a weak top 4.Why give up high end assets for a legit top 4 guy, when they have Makar, (hopefully) Timmins, and some UFA options to choose from?
I can see them going after Myers if they trade Barrie for example.
Girard - EJ
Zadorov - Myers
Cole - Makar

Just saving room for Karlsson.
Wouldn't mind Karlsson and selling Barrie for that top 6 forward we need. Instead of Stone.

As much as I like Duchene the hockey player I find it hard to like Duchene the business side of the hockey player.
