Make it rain on Stastny Lou

 

[Status Quo*]

I have a feeling that if the Avs don't resign Stastny, the Rangers will nab him.

I would stab myself multiple times in the eye

Sather can't shy away from the big FA. He'll be bought out in 3 yrs when they are paying 7.25m for 50 pts.

 

[JimEIV]

Stastny would have trouble cracking 50 points here. He was a 60 point player playing with Landeskog and MacKinnon... what would he do with Ruutu and Brunner?

Blues or Rangers would make sense. Stastny grew up in St. Louis but I'm not sure if he'd sign out of the division out of courtesy to Colorado, or if he'd prefer playing them as often as possible.

was gonna put this in the draft thread but I think more would see it here.

We would hate any Statsny deal in about 2-3 years.

wish he would go to like 40 or so, so we can hear more of our possible options for 30

He puts his top 60 up on TSN.ca after the live show.

nice

I'd shocked if it took that long...you'd probably have to pay him somewhere in the vicinity of 7m to get him out of Colorado people would freak out if he put up 48 points for 7m.

He'd be playing with Henrique and someone else .

Yeah if you sign Statsny you have to trade w/e it takes to get him a top line winger to play with or it's a complete waste. He certainly isn't a center who makes others better just by being there.

 

[R8Devs]

I would think Vanek would put up more points than Stastny here but I wouldn't mind either. Obvipusly there is a risk that the deal will be hated in 3 years or so but if you're looking to build a team capable of winning a cup you have to take risks.

if we can get another young 50 point player without giving up assets, we can live with the overpayment imo

No, you have to build from within and then sign complimentary players in FA.

We haven't completed step 1...

Did you watch MacKinnon setting him up this season?

Go type "Stastny goal" on YouTube.... you won't see too many from this season that don't come from MacKinnon.

And then you have no money for the wingers you need.

I don't want a 50 point player for 7 million.

They have a great goalie, defense that produces points and doens't give up many goals, and two forwards capable of producing 60+ points(Jagr and Elias), Zajac is a good top 6 center, Henrique can produce 25+ goals, so signing a top 6 forward like Vanek would help them tremendously.


I would love this team to build a new forward core from within but that is a few years away from happening.

Awesome he doesn't have Brendan Lemieux in the first round!

 

[Devil X]

Awesome he doesn't have Brendan Lemieux in the first round!

I dont recall many having him in the first but high in the second round.

Real good possibility we walk away with Claude's kid and Al's kid.
