Rumor: AVS Proposals/Rumors/Free Agents & Roster Moves (related topics)

[freeboy]

The problem with trading a Zadorov is that Meloche, Geertsen and Wood even if they turn into NHLers are probably two-three years out. And Siemens doesn't seem to be in the picture.

Avs have been starved for defense depth for a decade and now when we can see the end of the tunnel hopefully, I'd hate for Avs to give that up.

Of course we don't know how they view Zadorov. Avs can sour on players real quick. Ask Gormley.

But
Zads is no Gormley fortunately

Does anyone really believe SY would do Drouin such a solid and trade his petulant prospect to his most preferred location? Not sure what to think if Bigras is involved. So conflicted.

 

[CantTouchThis]

Excuse me while I vomit. I would despise that trade.

Vomiting yet?

I dont believe it, don't know why y'all are taking this serious. Sure Dater could have heard the interest is real, then he fills in the holes.

I doubt Drouin has a preferred location. He just has a location preference that isn't Tampa.

Maybe another comedian....

Iunno i started taking him more seriously when i hear guys like bob mackenzie refer to dater as a reliable source..

Ur right though, i just got that odd feeling. Worst part is i dont know how i feel about that trade...

Just because he knows something doesn't mean he knows the whole story. Duchene wasn't close to being traded either.

Very much so.

 

[BaconNater]

Well it does say Bigras and/ OR pick... kind of a huge difference

 

[RockLobster]

Dater HAS sources, he was the first to report the lockout was over...

And for all we know, it could be TB that wants Bigras but the Avs are so far reluctant to deal him (as I would be, as well)

I can't remember dater ever being right about a trade

The lockout yes (he got lucky on that though)
He tended to know who the avs were in on in free agency, PAP and iginla he called from what I remember; and he caused the carkner screwup


I can't think of him ever calling a trade prior though

The Avs twitter caused the Carkner screw up actually

He got lucky breaking a news story at the exact right time, before everyone else?

Okay then.

It was like a minute before, he just tweeted faster.

Like I said, he hears stuff and then fills in the blanks. This has been our issue for years, where to separate the truth and the assumptions. I heard him on the radio explaining he was never told that Duchene was available, it really started with Sakic saying only Mack was untouchable. Then he extrapolates from there.

Did he hear Pierre on the radio and that's his "hearing something"? Did he hear it on his own? Do I believe the Avs are poking around Drouin, yes. No other insider has pegged us as really in the whole trade thing. Dater also said he thought Barrie was going to be traded. It's just impossible to know where the line of truth is.

If I'm not mistaken, he was credited by Friedman and/or McKenzie as having it first.

I'm not saying I buy what he's saying on this specific issue, but those who act like he doesn't have sources are pretty shortsighted, in my opinion.

He has them, he also does what you say he does--fills in the blanks. I'm not denying that. I do, however, find it possible, and even plausible, that Bigras' name has come up. The question would then be which team brought him up, and if it was TB, would the Avs be willing to deal him (my hope would be that they'd say "No").
