Rumor: AVS Proposals/Rumors/Free Agents & Related Topics 2016-17 Part XIII

[Balthazar]

I really don't like Sherbak and McCarron as pieces in a Sergy deal. McCarron is way too slow and Sherbak is a big risk IMO as he is not a Bednar type of player.

What's a Bednar type of player ?

What's a Bednar type of player ?

Lazy backchecking, poor passes, tends to play on perimeter, not overly physical. The typical hallmarks of an elite player.

 

[tucker3434]

Agree with TV. If we get the main piece we're after, make it work. If some like Sergachev is the main piece we're after, don't torpedo the deal because the Grigorenko piece isn't sufficient.

Anaheim is losing to Arizona. If I had to pick a dark horse for new home for Landeskog, it would be Anaheim.

 

[AllAboutAvs]

What's a Bednar type of player ?

High energy, strong on forecheck, good defensively, etc. I know that is not what we are seeing now with the team but that's what he was supposed to be demanding.

 

[Avs_19]

I didn't know this or maybe I just forgot but apparently Vegas will be in business for the trade deadline if they make their final payment and get all the paperwork done. Sportsnet said McPhee told them he's already talking to teams and could make some moves. It shouldn't matter for the Avs because there's no one worth trying to protect but we could see an interesting move or two involving other teams that are afraid to lose someone good.

Eklund says they are making a push for Landeskog.

But for what? I'm not sure I see the fit. For a lot of reasons.

 

[tigervixxxen]

It's like the opposite version of yourself talking about the Carlo/Landy rumor.

Landeskog is not Duchene. Sergachev is not Carlo.

 

[hughdreamz]

Me too, but maybe Anaheim is desperate. Their best offensive players are at or past their prime. The time to win for them is now.

Whoever we trade with I want to get a 2018 1st out of it. This upcoming draft isn't much to be excited about deep into it.

Considering they have like 7 high end D they could move, some solid forward pieces and there have been rumors between the two all season long. If Ana wanted him enough they could certainly get him.

Some players of note: Nick Ritchie, Kase, Vatanen, Manson, Theodore, Montour, Jacob Larsson, Max Jones, Nate Guenin(jk).

Also note that Ana will almost certainly have to expose one of Vatanen or Manson.

You don't see a fit? They have a ton of younger assets we could use.

They have to be able to play the game fast is the biggest asset. Good on the forecheck and good vision helps.

Like what, put out a trade?

Sakic should include Guenin in the trade, and then leak him first lmao. I would trollolloll the crap out of the fan base with that one.

Avs could be interested in any one of Manson, Vatanen, Theodore, Montour or Larsson as the Dman coming back. If they could get Nick Ritchie then then deal is practically there. Depending on the Dman throw in a pick and call it good.

Also keep in mind Ana has 1 too many Dmen for the ED but DO have a spot for an extra F

 

[BoxOfChocolates]

Theodore/Manson/Montour, Ritchie/Jones, 1st, cap dump

Guy isn't the greatest hockey player but is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Wish him nothing but the best.

 

[CobraAcesS]

Like what, put out a trade?

Shea Theodore + 1st + Max Jones + Nate Guenin (We need leadership for the AHL team)

 

[hockeyfish]

Shea Theodore + 1st + Max Jones + Nate Guenin (We need leadership for the AHL team)

Cap kills it. It's really hard to make a trade with that team right now that not only satisfies the cap, but also gets the Avs what they need.

 

[Goulet17]

I believe that any trade with Anaheim will require a large amount of salary coming back to the Avs. Is this accurate?

 

[tigervixxxen]

I agree they can't just do it for prospects. I don't know if there's an acceptable cap dump or if it has to be more a roster D.

 

[hughdreamz]

I believe that any trade with Anaheim will require a large amount of salary coming back to the Avs. Is this accurate?

Yes. They are only about $1.5M under the salary cap.

 

[Avs_19]

Cap kills it. It's really hard to make a trade with that team right now that not only satisfies the cap, but also gets the Avs what they need.

I don't think it'll be too difficult to do if there's a deal to be made. Just take back Bernier in the deal. He has an expiring contract with a $4M cap hit. It's only $2M in real money too so the Avs would only have to pay whatever is left of that.

Good point...and we could actually use Bernier this year as a bonus. Is it me or Ducks fans were very high on Theodore last year but for some reason they don't seem as high on him this year? Any explanation?
