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

[Echo Roku]

Why would they give up on perfectly good young third liners? Still need a second line.

Yeah, that’s the attitude I was talking about

 

[Avs_19]

Avs need to handle their own business before going after someone else's guy. LeBrun says Rantanen's negotiation could drag on.

 

[The Merchant]

lol @ anyone thinking this move proves the Avs are a cap team. You really think Sakic would still be GM if that were the case?

 

[lonelybadger]

I don't like the ridiculous gap between UFA tampering and July 1st this year...not one bit.

 

[CB Joe]

They'll obviously bring in one forward, probably Zuccarello. I don't expect the Avs to spend the cap

 

[Goulet17]

As in most of the prominent RFAs (Marner, Point, Aho, Tkachuk, Rantanen) may drag out, or something specific to Rantanen's situation?

Don’t get this thought... you don’t want Rants offer sheeted, but that deal would work out. But even if he was offer sheeted, it is an easy match. More than that though... multi tasking is possible. They can sign UFAs, trade, the offer sheets (that won’t happen) can all happen simultaneously.

 

[UncleRisto]

Yeah, that’s the attitude I was talking about

Compher is a second-liner like I'm a college professor.

Yeah there’s no way we sit on around 20 Million in cap space while Mack is on this contract. The only possibly scary part is who we are going to go after.

 

[Ceremony]

Looking forward to seeing Zuccarello, Pavelski and Jingle on a combined 20 million

 

[henchman21]

Dr. UncleRisto has a good ring to it

 

[Webster]

The Avs will look pretty good if they sign Zuccarello.

And perhaps re-sign Brassard? Zucc's close friend. He also knows Landeskog well.

If that happened, you’d see this board protest Sakic’s house with snowblowers

 

[UncleRisto]

The difference is, I might become a PhD, but JTC won't become a 2nd line wing.

 

[hooverdam]

Absolutely the f*** not.

 

[Pacman33]

Cant see anybody offer sheeting rants. Makes absolutely no sense. Avs have all the cap room in the world so all it would accomplish is pissing off other gms across the leagues

 

[Tommy Shelby]

The Avs will look pretty good if they sign Zuccarello.

And perhaps re-sign Brassard? Zucc's close friend. He also knows Landeskog well.

 

[tucker3434]

So, now I’ll be checking Twitter all day for a move that probably won’t happen until July 1.

 

[Echo Roku]

Compher is a second-liner like I'm a college professor.

Can’t even remember me talking about players stepping up and developing before? With an additional presence to drive the line?

Shame.

This board sometimes just makes me go wow. It’s impressive

 

[Foxtail]

Whether people like it or not, the plan was always going to bet on Jost and/or Compher stepping up, even if with assistance

People here act like the team has already given up on them

Yes and Bowers too people just writing them off, the young guys need ice time
Jost and Compher both looked good in he playoffs.

 

[Foxtail]

Why would they give up on perfectly good young third liners? Still need a second line.

Those 2 are pegged as 2nd liners

 

[Balthazar]

Right now, Brassard would be 2C on that team.

 

[forsbergavs32]

I’m fine with Mack, Jost, JTC down the middle for now but they need to put some wingers around one of them. Still not holding my breath but hopefully this means they gonna offer Panarin an offer he can’t refuse

 

[UncleRisto]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

 

[lonelybadger]

I would like Stastny/Kadri

and Doonskoi.

I expect Zuccarallo and nothing more.
