Rumor: Avs Proposals/Rumors/Free Agents 18-19 part XXXV| “We still need a 2nd Line, Joe!” Edition

[EdAVSfan]

You all do realize that we have to spend a crap ton just too get to the floor.

Sakic can say what he wants about giving young guys a chance, but there is more to this. You don't dump salary, when you are already a mile below the floor.

Be it another trade or UFA we will be adding some salary, the question is what kind of quality will they be adding because of they think adding 4M for a Cole level player make you better, then it's going to be a long summer.

As of right now, there is no indication of significant moves.

Simply resigning our RFAs will cover the cap floor.

 

[Gatorbait19]

It’s the 25th of June, relax. Burnaby Joe’s going to do something.

Help me Jobi-Wan Kenobi...you’re our only hope.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

The plan is we can now swap AZ's 3rd rounder for our own 3rd rounder to FLA so we can offer sheet Aho.

If that trade happens the rest of the league needs to be put on major standby.

Joe Sakic would be coming out to play a big boy game that most other GMs cant even comprehend.

 

[henchman21]

I really, really doubt it.

I'm just saying it better not be the plan. If it is, we have a potential for disaster. I'm hopeful there is something else out there. If it is a prior to a different deal where the Avs take on salary, it makes a lot more sense.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Zuc and Panarin.

Panarin - MacKinnon - Kerfoot
Zuccarello - Landeskog - Rantanen
Calvert - Jost - Compher
Greer - Kamenev - Nieto

 

[chet1926]

Of course Sakic is going to say that.

I’m going to wait and see

Agreed. What else is he going to say. He isn't going to reveal his hand to the world.

 

[Balthazar]

No need to trade Soda for that, especially with one year left. Doubt we reach the cap next year even with a few cap dumps.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

RFAs:

Rantanen - 11m
Zadorov - 4m
Compher - 3m
Kerfoot - 3m

That $20m gets us to the floor.

What are we doing with the other $19m?

Hopefully Panarin and Kadri/Stastny.

 

[Foppberg]

With the Barrie rumours at the draft, and now this, it really exposes us as the chicken littles we are.

 

[henchman21]

Doesn't have to reach the cap limit to change how much ownership is willing to spend... could easily be both or either.

This move makes no sense unless we’re about to make another trade. Even so, I wouldn’t throw the dirty bath water out until we had clean (I.e. shouldn’t have traded Soda until the other deal is complete).

I also don’t understand how/why we couldn’t have kept Soda as our 3c.

Wym jb?

Many moves don't make sense in the NHL to fans. It wouldn't be the first or last one to fit that idea.

 

[The Abusement Park]

We’re gonna take Reimer+our 3rd+Trochek in a deal with Florida. Then we’re gonna offers sheet Marner and have our 2nd line sorted out.

Landy-Mack-Rants
Kerfoot-Trochek-Marner
Calvert-Jost-Nieto

does this mean we aren't getting that dedicated, state-of-the-art practice facility?

wait... we already knew we weren't getting that.

 

[Avs_19]

Goodbye, gentlemen.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Goodbye, gentlemen.

All garbage anyways.

Good luck to Sven and Boik in Russia.

 

[Foppberg]

Wym jb?

I'm gunna have to get a hint here. Can I get a vowel?

 

[RoyIsALegend]

What you mean jelly bean?

 

[milehigh11]

Im excited to see wahts next. If we can put some better wingers on the 2nd line maybe Jost/Compher can actually excel.

Now Joe.. Go get us panarin and zucc

 

[henchman21]

Goodbye, gentlemen.

Going to be awesome to hear complaints about Dries next year!

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Goodbye, gentlemen.

All garbage anyways.

Good luck to Sven and Boik in Russia.

By this way, we can assume this means the following RFAs *did* receive qualifying offers:

F JT Compher
F Vladislav Kamenev
F Alexander Kerfoot
F AJ Greer
F Mikko Rantanen
F Sheldon Dries
F Dominic Toninato

D Ryan Graves
D Anton Lindholm
D Nikita Zadorov

Hopefully we find out Lindholm and Dries didn’t get qualifying offers either.

 

[Gatorbait19]

In addition to a trade for a real 2c, I’m hoping this means we’ve heard good things back from FAs.

I maintain that Panarin is a total pipe dream. But if his agent told Joe that Panarin is going for most money and no one else will top our off of $12-13m, then I can understand this.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Thought Boikov would get qualified but not surprised by the others.

 

[Foxtail]

The "don't trade Barrie" bias.

Barrie receiving $8M+ per signed longterm for 2nd/3rd line minutes, but Zadorov $4M is too high for 2nd/3rd line minutes.

Pro Barrie meltdown incoming
