Optimism=Delusional
Welcome to the core fire sale, I'm sure we'll fill this thread up in a week.
Well, if the Avs did send all of their scouts in tonight to get some detailed analysis of what Martinez / Muzzin do...they got a real treat
- I thought I cleared that up in my last post? You were making the comparison of one player breaking out later on in his career. Not thinking Zads is the next Chara in terms of actual ability.
- Defenders still peak mid 20's but are producing while they're young. Zadorov has not for the avs.
- Hedman by the time he was Zadorov's age was putting up 20+ points and at 22 years old was on pace for 30.
"soon" I'll have a german avatar for month if that ever happens.
Not sure what you are saying here. I just said he lacks hockey IQ and some jumped on it.
Haha -4 and -5 for Muzzin and Martinez. They don't want to play for the Avs.
I'm just hoping that those guys had a freak scheduling occurrence where all three were on layovers in LA and just decided to go to a free game.
I'd say I'd want Tiffoli, but he was injured anyway, so obviously they weren't looking at him.

OMG, dat 1st trade! Hold on, Ima go change my pants.
If you’re including a first rounder, Slavin and Pesce may be interchangeable.
Landeskog has been my favorite non-Penguin for years. I'd love to see him on the Penguins. That being said, it made more sense a few years ago for us than it does now. I don't really think giving up a package around Maatta+Sprong/Guentzel would be worth it with how our roster currently sits, and surely that's what it would take.
Just don't trade him to Philadelphia
I don't know, Maatta is similar to Landeskog in that his stat line doesn't tell the story. He's been absolutely lights out defensively. Second only to Letang in his skill on the breakout. Typically can be counted on for 35 points per season, with a ceiling of probably 40. And Sprong/Guentzel are top-6 winger prospects. Pretty low chance of busting too.It's not near enough to entice the Avs to move him. Maatta isn't interesting as the main piece in the slightest.

I'm just saying that if there are negotiations with Pittsburgh, Maatta is the only centerpiece that Sakic could be interested in.
It's a given they'll be giddy about Martinez on Kings.
Matta has a career high of 29pts and this season is on pace for 18 all while playing with the most offensively gifted forwards in the NHL.
Avs scouts at the Kings game:
"Hey Garth. Garth, did you see the Stanley Cup goal Martinez scored? Yeah... That's what we could have."
