Out of town thread VI

[Hostile Offer]

So, Dylan Strome scores in his first game out of Arizona. Could've seen that coming from a mile away.

 

[mariolemieux66]

Highlight real save by Petersen

 

[PaulD]

Pens Jets great game. Both goalies give up softies. Big two points for Pens.

Still not sold on Hellabuck.

 

[GordonGraham]

2 more points for Max in Vegas

 

[Skip Bayless]

 

[koyvoo]

He’s being mishandled...again.

He plays with Kane and Debrincat.. no shit

Wtf is up with Rantanen ? Did he just leech off some of McDavids talent ? Even McDavid and Draisaitl cannot keep up with MacTanen.

40 points already ? Jesus. Swear last week he was at 26 or something. 9 points in his last four games. 11 in his last 5 for Mackinnon.

Ridiculous. Sakic should move mountains to win now with Mackinnons contract being so cheap.

Wonder what Sakic could get for Ottawa’s first. They need secondary scoring upfront that’s for sure.

That's real synergy there.

Sakic could also add Nylander. The Avs have no 2nd line center, and there should be some real good centers this year.

Ottawa's first shouldn't be touched, IMO. It's their key to another elite player... Theyre not going to get better value, IMO, by trading it away.

IMO, Jost is where the value is at. He's not developping proeprly right now, and they don't really need him. Swapping him for an older player would be great. Who's looking for a young 20 year old C and has time to develop him though ? Thats another question.

Bowers is another one I'd try to sell. He'd bring back a good bit, IMO.

Something around Jost/Bowers+Picks or something for Zibanejad in NY, maybe Simmonds in Philly ?

Scherback would be a great addition to their team, and so would Sprong. Two great buy low moves that could pan out.

Not sure Sakic has what the Leafs would ask for though... They'd look for D or wingers.

I'd honestly offersheet Nylander if I was Sakic. Who cares if I piss off Dubas? I'm trying to win while I have Mackinnon locked up at a steal of a contract.

It’s still Marc’s fault

+ they still have Ottawas pick, yeah, thats a great move, imo.

I have a hard time offersheeting a guy like Nylander though, he's going to want money, money I'm not sure he's really worth AND he's going to cost you picks ?

Maybe I'd rather try for Panarin or Stone.

Doesn't fix their 2C spot though.

Yup, Ottawas pick can solve their 2C spot for decade+ as well.

Right now, I would seriously look at winning if I'm the Avs. I'd offersheet Nylander and I can always trade Landeskog for good assets if Panarin or Stone want to sign with the Avs. The picks won't mean much if they are going far. Leafs would want Timmins+ for sure if you aren't offersheeting him.

They don't have to worry about Rantanen because they can easily unload Soderberg, Wilson, and Calvert. Also they can unload Johnson if Makar, Timmins and Barrie set up the RHD next year. The Avs are in a real good spot right now.

Unloading Landeskog would be a bad move iMO. A first line W that does all he does for under 6m? Thats crazy value.

To replace him for Stone or Panarin? Why not? Those guys are much better.

I guess it depends what you actually mean by much better.

It also means your breaking up the best line in hockey, trading away the captain, and the best defensive forward on the team.

Most Avs fans think their first line is untouchable. Theyre right imo.

What they need is to shop Jost for a goalscoring D or a 2nd line winger.

Mark Stone is a defensive monster. I also don't see how either of Stone or Panarin break up the Mack-Rantanen combo. Those guys are quite easily better than Landeskog imo.

Landeskog plays on the same unit. At ES and on the PP.

Breaking the most productive line in the NHL over the last 100 games seems farfetched. Landeskog is not Danault, hes a first liner.

Panarin and Stone are both quite easily better than Landeskog. I'm talking about trading Landeskog for cap reasons if a better player in Stone/Panarin would sign with the Avs.

Youre assuming Landeskog isnt part of that unit.
