Rumor: Avs Proposals/Rumors/Free Agents 18-19 part XXV|Landeskog: Maanmetsä???

[Pokecheque]

Meh...dude's kinda finked out on two different teams now. I'm not too interested but, whatever.

 

[rmthomson21]

Watch them sign Tobby Enstrom from Sweden.

Tobby is a free elf

 

[Bubba Thudd]

Tobby is a free elf

ZERO interest in any elf.

 

[S E P H]

ZERO interest in any elf.

Wow, I can't believe we have an elfophobic person on our board. And we live in 2019, geez.

YOU live in 2019.
I'm old, and have earned the right to live in whatever year, decade, century, or even millennium I choose.

If you could capture the Drouin Mack magic, I think you could honestly elevate Jost by sandwiching him between Landeskog and Rantanen.

On a side note, now that Cale Morris is eliminated can the Avs sign him please?

 

[Bauhaus]

The really sad part about this is a 24 year old Zadorov, who is supposed to be entering his prime, has declined more since last season than old man injury prone EJ has. People are enamoured with the big hits and intimidation factor but he has been one of the biggest disappointments on the team.

Biggest disappointment I think is a bit of a stretch. He was sorely missed when he was out with injury. Yes he still has a lot to learn but they all struggle. Girard has been terrible lately. Graves has regressed some. Nemeth can have good games and a lot of bad. Cole started the season off on a tear and has tragically come back to reality. I see nothing in Z's game that I could call "biggest" disappointment.

Biggest disappointment hands down is Jost. But that's more a fact of being so thin at forward.

 

[Avs_19]

Where's @Duchene2MacKinnon? He usually doesn't tolerate any Drouin and short people slander.

 

[Bauhaus]

Too small to be seen.

He's very elusive.

 

[AvsWraith]

Don't think we can trade Z.

We are a different team without him in the lineup. It might be different if we had some more size on the team, but as of now, we don't.

 

[TheForsbergShow]

Trade for Macks old best friend Drouin. It will allow us to trade his current BFF Barrie and keep our star happy.

Win/Win

I said one of the biggest disappointments. The expectation was him establishing himself as a legit top four defenseman but I think he has regressed and there are more questions than ever. Love the physical play and it has been game changing at times (hello, Leafs) but he's far too inconsistent and mistake-prone.

Defending other insignificant short players like Dybala in the futball section.

I will grant you the end. Especially in the OT against AZ when he had the terrible turnover which almost cost us the game.

That said, I do believe he will be good. EJ took a long time to finally get his mojo, I can see Z being the same. He has the potential to be. Obviously potential means nothing until realized.

In any case, I do believe losing him would hurt us more than what we would gain in return.

The problem though is even though you are technically right and we're talking simply about Zadorov here, but every Avs defender has been fluctuating between forms and consistencies this season. EJ looked good in stretches, but for the most has been below-average, Girard was in his sophomore slump at the start of the new year, Barrie with Cole looked dominant for the first half of the season just to fall apart the second half, and Zadorov has faced inconsistency issues as well. Honestly, Nemeth has been the only defender I can label as consistent for majority of the season and he's a #5/#6 at best.

Consistently BAD! Ohhhhhhhhhhh




Jk

Im not as enamored with Z because i cant stand his puck handling, its like dude just leave it there.
But if your gonna trade him you should at least have a 2nd plan to upgrade him or forget it.

and good luck with acquiring a mid 20's top 4 D

 

[henchman21]

To me, the simple path to go down with Z is to line up a 4 year deal paying in the low 3s. As it creeps up it gets more and more iffy. If they end up at ~3.5m for that term, I'd be okay with that even if it would be a touch high. Z can stay a bit inconsistent for that amount and not draw too much ire. That said, Z is going to demand everybit of 4.5-5m per.

I don't see how he could realistically demand that.

 

[Pokecheque]

Because it's likely he gets it, either in the NHL or the tax-free equivalent of it in Russia.

He isn't going back to Russia lol

 

[agentblack]

Yeah Z is gonna hold out. Not even a question really

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Not sure what the context is here but Drouin and other shorties >>

I might make my triumphant return to hockey Drouin becomes an av.... I know this is what you all are waiting after all. For me to grace you with my presence on HF.

 

[AvsFan29]

Adam Fox lit up the NCAA with 48 points in 33 games with Harvard.

Not bad for a defenceman.

 

[Bauhaus]

I agree. Based on what we've already been through with Z, it's pretty much a guarantee.

 

[henchman21]

Ceci, Chychrun, Dumolin, and Matheson... Z may not (and shouldn't) get 4.5, but he will try.
