Offseason Thread Part III

[Ararana]

It was definitely a Byram ++ for Jones + Elvis thing

I'd be absolutely shocked if Sakic was offering either of Byram/Newhook for a single guaranteed year of Seth Jones. Even Jones extended, the main name they got in return was Boqvist who is simply not on Byram's level.

It is kind of funny to hear confirmation that the Avs were one of the teams coming in down the wire but at the price tag Seth got he definitely would have been a pure one-year rental for the Avs.

10. Nathan MacKinnon confirmed a good little rumour — that Sidney Crosby and Connor McDavid skated as linemates at a Montreal camp; some pre-Olympic practice. MacKinnon half-joked he didn’t like it, because they won every game. “Way to keep it fair,” he laughed. The Avalanche forward, by the way, spent a lot of time on a line with Mitch Marner.

“Half-joked.” You know half of MacKinnon’s sticks ended up in the stands after those games.

Also, Marner to the Avs? Let the rumours begin.

That's the right way to go for the Olympics. Not 97 and 29 together.

Marner the worlds most expensive playoff under-performer

Marner should gel well with Mackinnon in terms of style

It's really hard to go wrong with that Canadian roster. I doubt the lines will stay the same the whole time anyway.

Lefebvre, Ronaldo, Bertuzzi...I wonder what these people have in common...

It's ok, it's only the Red Wings

He's not very far off though. Just a tier below.


And let's not forget Chicago gave up the #12 or 13 pick in the draft as well as another 1st next year.


For the Avs... Our 1st at #26 + Byram + 2022 1st is a smaller package then the #13 + Boqvist + 2022 1st from Chicago.


It absolutely would have taken Byram to beat that offer for Jones.

Hopefully, they let him make all their signings moving forward

f***, down goes Toews.

f***, down goes Toews.

You expect anything different from this team lol. Im surprised its only one guy.

 

[SaltySkywalker]

f***, down goes Toews.

To be fair, it doesn't sound like he JUST went down. They simply didn't release any news about his off-season surgery.

 

[AllAboutAvs]

f***, down goes Toews.

Media day is rough man.

 

[JoeSakic13]

Can we elect to be the Quebec Nordiques against the Red Wings so we can avoid cheap shots too?

Nice to see the old boys club is alive and well

I started a new job and was talking hockey with my boss today.

Boss: “Heiskanen is better overall than Makar.”

Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.
