Holiday GM Game #3 Spectacular

[Peter Griffin]

I can't believe Colorado paid that much for two UFA rentals. Just ridiculous.

 

[Gecklund]

Next to move is Chris Tierney! Get your offers in!

 

[Dichow Stopper]

Nick Suzuki is in play, but only for a young LHD with high potential.

Listening on Jeff Petry (LNTC) if a young LHD is coming back. Looking for a hockey trade.

Charles Hudon and CLB 2019 2nd round pick are being shopped for a top 6 winger who can complement Domi amd Drouin.

Benn and Schlemko can go for a mid pick. Shaw is actually having a good season but he is also available.

Things are quiet in Habs land right now. Had some discussions but nothing appears imminent.

We feel alone when we see all the teams trading with each other around...

EDIT : If someone wants to give me a player of Huberdeau caliber for Charlie Lindgren, I am listening!

The Sens have kickstarted their rebuild!

To
OTT 1st
COL 1st
COL 2nd
Cale Makar
Tyson Jost
Martin Kaut
Vlad Kamenev

To
Matt Duchene
Mark Stone

What the actual f*** is Colorado doing?

 

[Gecklund]

What the actual **** is Colorado doing?

Yes it is a very big price to pay for Colorado but Stone is one of the best players that will be on the market and Duchene is no slouch either.

 

[ujju2]

Top six wingers/centres pleeasse.

You have McDavid, Nuge, and Drai...

BTW, I didn’t look at their cap situation, but the Avs can add 13.5M$ just like that?

 

[Llamamoto]

Your an Oilers fan. You know Nuge can play the wing.

McDavid - Draisaitl
Nuge - XXX

Okay, but that's likely two top 5 picks (OTT 1st and Makar), two more 1sts (Jost (top 10) and COL 1st), and then EVEN more, including two more quality prospects and a 2nd.

That's the kind of haul you pay for something like Doughty + Kopitar, not two rentals, regardless of how good they are.

 

[Dichow Stopper]

Stone being one of the best players that will be on the market is pretty much exactly the point there.

 

[Llamamoto]

Maybe this year, but they'll be in trouble for the offseason when they need to sign Rantanen.
lol it would be funny if they walk.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Not the Avs, but I think so. They'll have a tough time though next year when they re-sign Rantanen, Compher, Kerfoot, and Zadorov though.

If they re-sign Stone and Duchene, that is.

 

[ujju2]

Your an Oilers fan. You know Nuge can play the wing.

McDavid - Draisaitl
Nuge - XXX

And I know you are looking more for a winger than a centre. Why would both Nuge and Draisaitl be on the wing? Especially with wingers generally being cheaper to acquire.

I'm just broadening my market, in case. But yeah, wingers are my preference.

It's not my game, so my opinion doesn't mean much, but this is exactly the type of trade that would've been vetoed in games of the past just because it's so ridiculous. Colorado literally gutted their entire future for two UFA rentals, one of which they traded away just a year earlier.

 

[forsbergavs32]

It’s an all in thing for me, I also have Varlamov, Wilson coming off the books, so there 9m just right there. I’ll figure it out.

I mean if you guys want to veto it then go for it. It’s just a game to me.

 

[TribalPhoenix]

Available:

Jonathan Toews
Patrick Kane
Duncan Keith
Brent Seabrook
Corey Crawford
Brandon Saad
Artem Anisimov
Marcus Kruger
Chris Kunitz
Cam Ward

Among others...

 

[Peter Griffin]

Vladimir Tarasenko and Alex Pietrangelo available for a teams' entire prospect pool!

I'll start the bidding at my next 4 1sts!

Let's see how much we can stack Ottawa's future.

 

[MackAttack26]

around

2/3C, top-4 RD, top-9 RW. Those are my needs.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Man, some of you take this game way too seriously

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

I think a veto could help. Just my opinion though, doesn't really matter.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Like I said, I’m fine if it’s vetoed. Whatever needs to be done I guess

 

[Dichow Stopper]

Man, some of you take this game way too seriously

It’s not just a game, it’s THE game!

 

[Peter Griffin]

Around, we have had some good discussions but nothing major is imminent.

An hour later the GM Game #3 bombshell is dropped.

Sorry, I just got a kick out of that lol.
