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

[RoyIsALegend]

Now, please be bruised ribs for Mikko. And, I know it’s been 20 years (wow, I’m getting old), but tonight I’m gonna party like I hate you as much as I did in 1999, Dallas.

Holy shit, 1999 and 2000 rage was something else.

Considering I was crying as a 16 year old when Joe passed the Cup to Raymond, it goes without saying how ridiculous I took the losses as a 14 and 15 year old.

Those may have been my first bans on old school hockeysfuture boards.

We all are.

The Avs played in & lost game 7 of the 2000 WCF the day we flew into Orlando for a group Disney vacation. It was the summer before my senior year of high school. We got to our rooms in time for the 3rd period. Everyone else went off to explore the hotel resort & pick up dinner, while I stayed behind to watch the death knell. When Bourque hit the post I kicked the (latest advancement in technology) in room DVD-VCR combo player (lightly, luckily). After a brief anxiety attack I realized the only damage I’d (fortunately) done was knocking the faceplate off, which even I could fix *phew*.

That 2001 season was so special. Even so, welcome as Blake & Reinprecht were, it hurt to see Deadmarsh & Miller in Kings sweaters. They were brothers in arms for the Stars wars of 1999 & 2000- when I began following (Avs) hockey closely.

Obligatory Cool Story Bro...

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

Hayes would be a difference maker if they did pay up for him, maybe not a "fix our secondary scoring woes on his own" difference.

He’s certainly a significant step up from the experiment that was Jost/Kerfoot as 2nd line scoring center.

 

[dahrougem2]

I watched those 1999 and 2000 series' as a 5/6 year old and can vividly remember not speaking to anyone the next day at school following losses lest they want to get punched in the throat.

Haha I was 16 too when Joe passed the cup to Ray but I didnt cry. However, I remember being so angry at Roy in game 4 when he misplayed the puck and Gomez scored that I threw my N64 controller at the wall and smashed it haha.

I lost my shit when Ratvichuck through Foppa into the boards. No penalty on the play. Shocker.

To this day the utterance of the name Darien Hatcher causes an involuntary muscle spasm in my left deltoid-shoulder region...I wouldn’t stop for Hitchcock if he was broken down along the highway.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

I'd be thrilled to overpay for either Hayes or Ferland on July 1st. Or best case scenario, both.

It's not like they're old and over the hill or we have cap space issues, so I'll prepare myself to be disappointed when we get neither of them.

While I'm dreaming, my ideal perfect scenario would be to draft Kakko at #2, then overpay the aforementioned guys and roll with a real, legit for once 2nd line of Ferland-Hayes-Kakko. A nice big, strong, fast line that isn't a defensive liability and can also agitate the other team a bit.

Then we can have Soda between Jost and JTC and Kam between LBN and Calvert. Suddenly we have depth and aren't rolling with a bottom-6 with an average height of 5'7.

Kerfoot can be the 13th forward or shot to the moon for all I care.

Yes to Hayes. No to Ferland.

 

[Muffin]

Do we move Hughes to the wing if we sign Hayes?

I would think so. Man I really wish Stone didnt sign that contract. Also, how funny would it be if we did get Hughes and rolled out a Jost- Hughes- Kerfoot second line for next season. The oompa loompa line from hell.

There's still a chance for Panarin...

Dont even joke like that. Panarin on this team would be amazing but hes going to Florida.

Hayes would be the centre ala stastny to MacK circa 2013 & then shift to 3c as Soda’s contract Ends. Ideally.

Ideally you have Ferland in your top 6 to prevent clowns from other teams to target our best players all night and eventually successfully injuring them.

Before the injury Rants had been hammered by Dallas left and right. All the friggin' game. This isn't acceptable.

I actually really like ferland, watched him a lot I’m Calgary. The guy has a ridiculous shot and loves to bang the body. Only question is what kind of contract is he looking for? Something around 5 I could stomach.

Yeah should have quoted @BrickNHL , not you. Sorry about that.

As for your question, as long as it's under 6M and 5 years or less I'm OK with it. If we plan to play him in our top 6 he's going to ask for top 6 money, especially since he's UFA and apparently in high demand.

I still feel my eyes on the verge of tearing up every time I see that highlight. Such an incredible moment. Gets me every time, and I've seen it at least a hundred times.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

One positive thing I can say about those Stars is that in 99/00 they had Darryl Sydor. Watching him claw his way back into line of traffic after his knee got screwed up against NJ was completely nuts. Dude was a freaking warrior.

 

[Hasbro]

I like the Kadri idea. Good term and cost on his deal and can transition to 3rd line center when Cozens is ready.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Trade for Kadri, Draft Kakko and Sign Ferland.



Landy - Mack - Rants
Ferland - Kadri - Kakko
Jost - Soda - Compher
Nieto - Kerfoot - Calvert
Greer
