Rumor: Duchene for...? Part III

[Freudian]

Feels like Duchene for Faulk is just moving a hole around. Avs are very thin up top and without Duchene, we're going to have Bourque, Colborne/Grigorenko, Söderberg/Iginla on the top six. Three of them. If that doesn't scare you, you are more optimistic than I am.

I could buy Duchene for Sergachev+ as a signal that it's going to be a while. It buys a lot more time than a Faulk will. This is a lost year and chances are next year will be as well. Avs window has been completely screwed up by now.

Do you guys think Oiler fans would trade RNH for Landeskog?

Who cares, Sakic should get fired if he tried something that stupid.

Do you guys think Oiler fans would trade RNH for Landeskog?

Of course! I'd be choked if we traded Lando for RNH.

Did someone hack your account? lol

Do you guys think Oiler fans would trade RNH for Landeskog?

RNH is not as good as Landy

 

[Shaggy88]

Do you guys think Oiler fans would trade RNH for Landeskog?

Yes they would in heartbeat. Drai and mcdavid make him rather expendable there. The Avs should absolutely not do it though.

Do you guys think Oiler fans would trade RNH for Landeskog?

Lol what? I wouldn't trade Landy for two RNHs rn

 

[The Kingslayer]

Oiler fans told me RNH was better than Landeskog for years and told me we would have to add for RNH lol.

I don't want to imagine how good Landeskog would look on McDavid's wing. Would probably pot 40 goals every season.

Landeskog has put up similar points to Lucic his entire career. Albeit he's younger and faster, but I doubt he'd get 40 goals, probably would increase his point totals by 10-15 points though.

40 seems high he would for certain get over 30 each season however. I don't even want to think what a Landy McDavid would do the oppostion, McDavid has incredible hands and speed, and Landeskog is a very talented two way powerfoward. They would gel very well together.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Landy for RNH would be awful yup.


Landy for Draisaitl on the other hand....

i don't think 40 is likely but lucic is showing some pretty heavy signs that he's breaking down. lucic also has played with linemates in boston that were very good fits for him, helping his goal-scoring.

Perhaps, but for me, any movement of the core is more about shaking it up than it is about filling one hole while creating another. Any Duchene for Faulk would also come with the Avs selecting a player with top 6 talent from the draft. While also including Barrie being traded for a really good 2nd line centre/wnger as well.

Team's core would then exist of...

Landeskog - MacKinnon - Rantanen
2016 Pick - Jost - Barrie Forward

Zadorov - Faulk
Bigras - Johnson

Martin

It's funny because everyone wanted to make that trade just last summer. Of course, that was back when we thought we could be a playoff team and that we could score goals, but still. If ultimately we can't get any younger dman I'd do it. Faulk is 1+ year younger than Duchene and dmen's prime is usually later in their career.

Faulk would still have a few years left of prime when/if the team is ready to compete.

What do you guys think EJ's value is right now? I haven't watched a ton of Avs hockey, but I've typically come away impressed with some of his plays in the D-zone. Any lingering injury concerns?

He's a top pairing defensman and only 28, so that should make his value should incredibly high...but I imagine injuries+contract bring his value down quite a bit. I'd say he's far more valuable to the Avs than other clubs considering how poor the defense is. I don't think there's any real chance of him getting moved.

I was just thinking what an EJ to PHI trade would look like

 

[PAZ]

An EJ trade would be the sign of a rebuild, not a retool.

Well, I was wondering where this Duchene for Faulk idea is supposed to fit with your right side, presumably, consisting of EJ and Barrie after him. Do you really think his contract would be seen as a negative? 6m doesn't seem so bad for a top pairing, arguably(?) #1D.
