Proposal: Col/Mtl around Drouin for Byram

[Toastman]

IF Montreal were to go after Byram, they would have to add.
Drouin, although extremely talented, is most likely going to go through his career being a second line center, whereas Byram is most likely going to be a top pairing d-man. Kids a stud....

 

[a mangy Meowth]

But what you see as comments is Byram is a sure shot top pairing guy

Why keep strawmanning? Literally nobody said that and you damn well know it.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Domi and what would you trade for him if interested ?

Domi is a winger on COL (Kadri's wing). I'd pay more for Domi than Drouin but it's still not gonna get Byram involved.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Kotkaniemi with 8 points this year, Habs fans "Guys relax hea only 19, hes still a top 3 pick. This means nothing".

Byram having a similar offensive year to last year, same Habs fans "His stock is plummeting! We will give you a 50ish point winger for Byram but you might have to add. He might be a bust".

lol, this is brutal violence in text form.

And there Eric Johnson's contract ends freeing up $6 million.

How very convenient for us!

Connor, Price, Drouin, Coleman, Ehlers. They're all fine players but Colorado is not trading the #1 NHL prospect when their biggest weakness is D in their prospect pool.

I wouldn't say our biggest weakness is D for prospects. Our top 4 is pretty much locked down and all under 25 (graves the oldest at 24). Timmins and Byram to come. So that will be 5 dmen under 25. 4 of them under 23. Will be a while before we need any high calibre D prospects. But definitely the fact remains Byram isn't being traded unless it's for a clear cut top line wing that has produced more than 50 pts and can break open a game. Don't see any offers on here except the Connor rumor that makes sense.

He had 15 points in 22 games before he got injured, that's 55 points pace, right around his career average. Not sure what math you're using.

 

[Baksfamous112]

They are 19 lol. It’s a 19 year olds tournament for defenseman. It’s very rare for 18 year olds to stand out and yet Byram was still used as their shutdown D. How could you possibly come away from the WHC disappointed by how he played. He was a rock.

Romanov won the best D at 18 completely dominating the tournament.

Did you watch him play long enough this year ?

 

[Muffin]

Did you watch him play long enough this year ?

Why does it matter? You said he was on paced for 60-70 points and I just showed you he wasn't. So according to you he was playing amazing but can't even crack a 60 points pace.

 

[Muffin]

Is he worth Drouin yet?

 

[El Travo]

Montreal lost by trading a young, high potential defender for Drouin. Why would Colorado copy what Montreal did?

And I'm sorry, but he's got chemistry with MacKinnon? They haven't played together in 7 years!

 

[Kaiden Ghoul]

Why does it matter? You said he was on paced for 60-70 points and I just showed you he wasn't. So according to you he was playing amazing but can't even crack a 60 points pace.

Again........ he played with struggling young players...
Who cares about the pace lol ?
The way he was playing pre injury make me believe he could have put between 60-70 points with Suzuki barring injury

 

[Avaholic29]

Is he worth Drouin yet?

Had a goal and assist tonight aswell

Ayoye...

The pace means nothing at quarter of the season
Domi Drouin was not working
Drouin Kotka same
Suzuki too young and he was more of a winger at the beginning.

Barring injury with the way Suzuki start playing the past month yeah I think we look at a player with a 60/70 points total.

15 points in 22 games while KK and Domi were doing nothing it's not something to overlook.

 

[Kaiden Ghoul]

Is he worth Drouin yet?

Who knows lol

Remember when Drouin carried the team with the absence of MacKinnon ? Yeah the same Drouin who put 41 points in 16 playoff game who won the memorial cup in his D1.
You don't want to trade Byram for Drouin fine but cut the crap with your non sense

Cause prospect>Proven player right

So Zadorov for Caufield should work, right?

 

[Cubs2024WSChamps]

I love these Byram trade threads.

Most of them read like teams are doing the Av's a favor trading for the guy.

Byram is going to be a stud.

Keep these threads coming tho. I can't get enough of them.

 

[Kaizer]

This. Plus Avs should take dead contracts from other teams just because they have cap space.

 

[yianik]

Domi is a winger on COL (Kadri's wing). I'd pay more for Domi than Drouin but it's still not gonna get Byram involved.

Well I did not say Byram, I asked what you would pay, so best offer please. And remember, Doni can play centre if needed.

 

[aufheben]

So you are thrilled with his production this year? hahahahaha

I love how in the other thread you're telling Rangers fans they should be worried about DeAngelo because he only puts up points, and in this thread you're telling Avs fans they should be worried about Byram because he's not putting up enough points.

It's almost like people don't understand that as the number one dman, when your team isn't as much of an offensive force all around then you will be defending alot more. He's slightly under ppg on a fringe playoff team and everyone's acting likes he's having a disaster of a D1 season lol. Wild.

 

[Hasbro]

Lol disappointing to probably most Colorado fans. Who would want to see his best prospect post lower stats than the previous year when he should outright be dominating his league

We're not exactly big statwhackers on our board.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

This reminds me of when Bern was trying to convince Detroit fans they needed to give up Seider and their 1st for Chytil and Deangelo...

 

[playasRus]

Montreal has too much depth at C?
