GrossI'm sure there are many people on this page who would easily trade Rantanen for Eichel right now if Eichel was healthy.

Size Queen.I'd love to get Kane on our team but there's zero chance Joe or the Avs would do it. We're not that kind of organization.
He'll end up somewhere from dirt cheap though and put up fabulous numbers while continuing to be an off the ice difficulty.
Got to make an example out of somebodyWhile I can understand why teams and the league wants players to be vaccinated for logistical reasons, it doesn't seem to me like the players who don't want to get vaccinated expect any special treatment for the most part. They seem to realize they will hurt professionally.
I don't particularly agree with their decision. I take the seasonal flu shot each year because I think it's important to contribute to herd immunity to protect others. I just don't think the vicious piling on is going to make anyone change their mind. It might even prevent some from doing so.
Even if it meant having to get rid of a guy like Mikko in a few years?
With Eichel as 2C it would be feasible to slot some cheap less skilled guys on his wing who can simply get him the puck and win board battles. A cheaper 3C would also be viable with such an elite 2C.Yeah I would.
I dont think it would necessarily have to come to that point though.
I think there's enough money that could be on the table to have Mack, Eichel, and Mikko all here at least through to the end of Mikkos current contract.
It would be tough and would require trimming the fat, but a top like as dominant as what we have now, and then to still have a 2C behind them in Eichel would just be insane.
Just to be clear in my case I meant a healthy Eichel. That's why I said Eichel the player. A 1-2 punch of Mack and Eichel would be great.Oh god no I would not take Eichel over Mikko even without all the injury issues. My god. He is so overrated.
There is just something that doesn't look right with him

Sounds like Mikko is the overrated one
Maybe I'm just surprised at all the news coming seemingly at once, but I can't recall a season where so many players weren't going to be ready for the season because of "offseason procedures" in recent memory. Not just the Avs, but around the league. Feels like so many names are going to be out weeks-to-months from offseason surgeries.
The league hates Rants.
