Rumor: Avs Proposals/Rumors/Free Agents 18-19 part XXXII|Deadline to Disappointment Impending

[cgf]

This sounds like something somebody not from an ocean city would say.

Yeah, Lakes > Oceans

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Lol, gotta love Max Talbot.

A leader like him must have wanted to kill Duchene on multiple occasions. He did a nice job of tiptoeing around it but still pretty much confirming what we all know; fewer shittier teammates than Matt Duchene exist in the game today.

Fall for the smiles and dogs and country music all you want, but he’s as selfish as they come.

 

[Y3TI]

The only way I could see Colorado going after Turris is if they take Byram at #4, and other ideal options (Hayes or Kadri, for example) are no longer options.

I posted the other day - I do think Turris is going to bounce back, in a big way, due to the fact he was banged up the entire season. But that contract, with (5) years left, still makes him a gamble.

It depends on the cost I guess.

 

[shadow1]

It depends on the cost I guess.

I would hope it would be marginal, as they're reportedly trying to move his salary.

But this discussion is why I really hope Colorado lands a center with the 4th overall pick. Byram is great - but the organization's center depth, and the options (currently perceived to be) available outside the organization, scare me to death.

 

[Barklez]

Colorado has lakes, and lakes are pretty much just mini-oceans.

This sounds like something somebody not from an ocean city would say.

And here I was going to say that lakes tend to have better beaches...

 

[AvsMakar08]

Colorado has lakes, and lakes are pretty much just mini-oceans.

Colorado has Colorado river.

 

[timothy jimothy]

Lakes also don't have sharks in them. That's a plus.

His value is so hard to predict, if he bounces back, you got a steal. If he doesn’t, he’s still getting paid $6mil for 4 more years

Psh, what does this guy know AMIRITE?!

Let's bring Dutchy back where he belongs, right everyone? right?

But our mountains have them.

Skinner staying in Buffablow.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

I am totally fine not paying Skinner 9M. To me, he’s not worth that.

What I don’t like is, what that deal means for the Avs. If I’m Rantanan, I’m asking for 11-11.5 if Jeff Skinner gets 9.

So RFA's can now use UFA deals as comps?

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

No, but Skinner is not in the same stratosphere as Rantanen

 

[CobraAcesS]

No, but Skinner is not in the same stratosphere as Rantanen

And? the problem with these big RFA contracts was started by stupid GMs not UFA players.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Regardless of whether, or not he’s a UFA, he’s a 50-65 point player that got 9 million. That’s all I’m saying.

He plays in the NHL. I understand it’s not a direct comparison.

 

[AllAboutAvs]

Hopefully the Skinner contract is not based on signing bonuses like Mathews'.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

At this point just come out swingin with Panarin and offer him $11-11.5. If he wants a 5yr $13m/yr deal he can have that too.

Yeah, that ain't happening

 

[avsfan09]

They're Oceans with self esteem problems.

I mean get over yourself Lake "Superior"

Far bigger sample size for Skinner

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Far bigger sample size for Skinner

Yeah... of being a 50-65 point player, and worse than Rantanen.

 

[Balthazar]

Skinner staying in Buffablow.

That's a deal they'll regret halfway through, possibly earlier.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Buffalo seems intent on skyrocketing all contracts. First the Eichel one, now this. There’s rewarding people for the what if, and then there’s just throwing money away

 

[henchman21]

Skinner just scored 40 goals... baffles me how underrated he is by fans. Guy can score goals with the best of the league.

 

[BKarchitect]

He’s streakier than even a hot/cold guy like Matt Duchene and granted his one dimension is the best to have if you’re one dimensional but still...he’s also got a winners resume to rival Duchene and yeah, that’s not entirely fair but when the going gets tough, these have not been players who have shined. Skinner was a ghost the last third of the season when Buffalo started to struggle after feasting in October and November. This after a dreadful 17-18 season. He’s not reliable. I’m not saying he isn’t really, really good but I’d absolutely pass on paying him $72 million when he’s actually about to leave the prime age of goal scoring peaks.
