I'll be shocked if Cowen makes it to July.
Leafs will flip him to us for a second.

Thanks that's what I was looking for, what's his skating like? Better than Stuart's, the same?
Leafs will flip him to us for a second.
it's better than stuart's. not mobile but has good straight line speed.
come on people, don't use +/- in relatively small samples like half a season or even a season.
Yeah man, thankfully Brad Stuart and Reto Berra are here to bring us all the glory.

But if they keep him and buy him out, they crazily get a $650k cap credit that could help them land Stamkos. Depending on how much they give Kadri and Reilly, and how they replace all their UFA's, they may need it.
That big trade came out of nowhere. Nice move for the Leafs. They dump Phaneuf's contract and probably get even worse now, which improves the Matthews odds. They're going to make Stamkos the highest paid player in the NHL, aren't they?
Helps the Sens right now but that's going to be a bad contract in the very near future, if it isn't one already.
LeBrun is saying that rental prices might be down...

Avs last three third rounders have been Martin, Wood and Beaudin. I don't know if any of them will ever be a NHLer but I'd rather have either of them than 30 games of Roman Polak.
Avs aren't a good team. They won't be a good team after the trade deadline. They might crawl their way into the playoffs this year but a rental bottom pairing defender will have zilch to do with it.
Roy's talk about how he's not used to missing the playoffs does scare me because of how much damage desperately trying to make it into the playoffs with this group can do. They should be sellers rather than buyers and I don't think it's even on the radar of this front office.
Even a Redmond for a 7th is better than getting Polak for a 3rd.
Would it make everyone who's asset crazy, feel better if the Avs gave up a 3rd at the trade deadline for a vet D, and then acquired a 3rd or 4th at the draft for Holden to make room for Zadorov and Bigras?
Believing Holden gets traded is like believing in Unicorns, but yes...
Bigras has to prove he can play in the top four consistently before seasons end in order for that to remotely have a possibility of coming to fruition IMO.
Has nothing to do with being "asset crazy". You're not getting a good player for a 3rd anyways. Why give that up for an older bottom pairing defenseman who won't make much of a difference for this team?
Moving Holden for a 3rd sounds like a solid idea though.

I know Polak has been brought up a few times, but I agree that we shouldn't be trading draft picks. Would a Hishon for Polak swap be fair? I think Hishon has more value than Polak, but like Elliott, it seems like his shot is over with the Avs.
Moving Holden?
Roy will move Zadorov and Bigras before Holden.
