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

[Avs44]

What would we be willing to add to it? Seems like we would have to add the 2017 1st to get that done

Duchene > Galchenyuk, 1st to 3rd overall > Sergachev? I'd add Bigras at maximum, nothing more.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Hell no. I'd consider a Greer or Compher or Bigras. Not a Jost or #4.

That's my line of thought as well. Just don't think MB would move Serg and Gally for Duchene + Greer/Compher/Bigras

[Nalens Oga]

I dunno why you guys keep coveting Galchenyuk so much. He's got skill no doubt but the guy still hasn't been able to pull off being a top six centre well into his career and you can't blame that completely on coaching now (though bad coaching might be responsible for his lack of defensive development). And then getting Jost involved? Sheesh we already have a dumb centre in MacKinnon, I'd rather we get some picks and other safe pieces along with Sergachev then have to add to Duchene to get Serg + Galchenyuk.

 

[Freudian]

Duchene for Sergachev + Desharnais + 2017 first + good forward prospect.

McNab and Haynes can talk about all the points Desharnais put up in the past down the stretch, acting as if he was part of the value coming back.

I think Galchenuk is the next kid in line to get a long term deal he didn't deserve and possibly never will live up to. Skilled but I'm not sure I'd go all in on him as a player.

Another big one going down? Dreger brought up Shattenkirk to the Caps earlier today.

Your proposal does not make any sense. Trading Dutchy and Compher (who has the potential to be the next captain like material top six or Greer, a top 6 power forward in making for Gally who is great but not better then Dutchy and an unproven Serg who might need at least 2-4 years to develop and might be a question mark. Give us a 1st rounder and another top prospect for Sakic to even look at this trade. Dutchy should by himself fetch a Gally + top prospect or without Gally, a top D man young, ready NHL Dman, +1st, + top prospect.

Hope it's true. Give Bäckström and Ovechkin that cup. Washington are already among the stronger and Shatty could take them over the top.

[Avs_19]

No need to make it complicated and then make a $6M/yr commitment to Galchenyuk. Sergachev and other prospects/picks looks good to me.

I keep going back and forth on a Hamonic, Barzal, and 1st package. I like Hamonic but I'm not sure about the fit.

 

[Alex Jones]

We are getting frozen out, I can feel it

 

[shadow1]

Ruthless

Not defending him but he posted it two minutes before.

 

[RockLobster]

We are getting frozen out, I can feel it

While I maintain that nothing may happen, the moves that are being made now are for rentals that are a lot more valued around the league than our guys.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Wonder what the return is. That rumor site said Bowey, let's see if that's true.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Oh please. As a somewhat fan of the Caps please let this be true.

 

[Avs44]

Well, naturally all of the good rentals were going first? If you're a GM, the last place you go calling is the team offering Bourque and Mitchell. You go bid for the good free agents first and then, if you lose out, you come circling back to teams like the Avs.


Not sure why people are upset by this. The Avs rentals are garbage. If we don't want them - and we don't - why would any other club badly want them?

 

[Avs_19]

Yup. Makes them better and keeps him away from the Pens and Rangers.

Uh, I didn't make that proposal, I was commenting on what someone else mentioned.

 

[tigervixxxen]

I wouldn't call Jordie Benn a top shelf move but we did ship out McLeod earlier. So while I'm nervous there still is time.

 

[Avs44]

Didn't Sakic flat out use the word "rebuild" in an article posted here within the last two weeks? I'm not nervous about what Sakic wants to do. I'm suspicious nobody else wants any of the rentals the Avs have. It's completely out of Sakic's control, in my view.

 

[Avs_19]

I don't know why teams would want our players and there might not be much of a return but we've been hearing about some level of interest in Iginla, Grigorenko, Bourque, Mitchell, and Martinsen for weeks. All of that was false or no longer true? I don't buy that. There better be moves on Wednesday and I think there will be.

 

[The Pwnerer]

Count me in on the Capital bandwagon.

 

[hockeyfish]

We still have 36 hours to go. Something will happen.

Although times ticking on Duchene, those types of moves usually happen fairly early in the process.

 

[agentblack]

so it's said I'm not a huge Galchenyuk fan , I'd rather have Danault tbh
