Out of town thread VI

[Adriatic]

Is it possible after only 20 games or so head coach Tocchet and the 3 Coyotes fans on the planet have already come to the conclusion that golden boy is not a center lolol. I don't get it..don't they listen when Bergevin speaks

 

[Rapala]

I hate that Tavares is working out for the Leafs so far. Hate it.

Jeeze I never doubted it or him.

 

[417]

GET EM!

 

[The Great Weal]

GET EM!

I was hoping this happened. We really need to get him. Philly has quickly turned around their prospect pool.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

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.

Any chance they'd trade that Ottawa pick for Weber!

No, their RD is stacked with Johnson and Barrie. They need a 1st pair LD.

Obviously, they could try and upgrade on Johnson... but Id say theres some diminish return on that one.

And Makar and Timmins. Defense is looking good for the Avs.

That was more what I was thinking. Use Johnson to get a winger.

Weber's shot with the Avs first line would be deadly

Barrie is one of the better offensive RD in the league though... really not sure its necessary.

If anything, they could try and grab Tatar from the Habs.

Id really look at a RW that can carry his line to compliment Jost and Kerfoot though.

A PP is better run with two same sided shots on the point and Barrie isn't that good.

It's the same effect as for Letang playing with Malkin and Crosby or Hedman with Kuch and Stammer.

A guy like Weber is much better overall than both their first D.

 

[Mrb1p]

They use Mackinnon on the point with Barrie.

Landeskog and Rantanen as the wingers. They need to upgrade on Wilson, too, because he doesnt cut it.

It's not ideal either.

And makes for a lesser 2nd PP

Meh, it would be like the Habs trying to upgrade on Petry. Its useless IMO.

Thing is though, top pairing Lds seem to be an even more rare commodity lately, so i dont know if they can upgrade on that.

Mark Stone would be the guy Colorado should go for. Something around Colorado 2019 1st, Ottawa 2019 3rd and projects.

Stone would be a great addition for sure, but hes gonna ask for 10M im sure.

Maybe, but Colorado should have north of 35 mil in cap space next year, they could sign guys to bridge deals, MacKinnon and Landeskog signed to great contracts. Colorado also keeps Ottawa's 2019 1st. They need to add an elite forward for their 2nd line and Stone would be my guy. They lucked out on the Duchene trade and should take full advantage of it.

You kidding me, right? It's like saying having Weber with Subban wouldn't make a difference over having Weber and Petry. come on

IMO, you're wrong

You were talking about win now. Then you need to bolster as much as you need to fill needs. Neither Johnson nor Barrie are bonafided #1ds. It's one of their most pressing needs, and yes ideally on the left side.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Lol johnson is not that good

Don't disagree, but at the same time, I doubt the Sens would take such a deal... It's all about maximizing your worth as a team. Stone clearly helps them there.

Johnson is a second pair D, Barrie is a number two on a good team, I agree... But similar players can be added on the left side to make that team even better, that way youre not playing Cole or Zadorov 20+ minutes a night. I care alot less for defense than offense too, the Avs defense isn't too far off what it needs to be to win a championship, imo. Looking at the last three championship teams.

 

[Garbageyuk]

Galchenyuk's hockey IQ has not always been in question. That is something that people started to discuss later on.

It has always been in question for me, and many others. The kid is as dumb as a bag of rocks. In addition to his skating issues, lack of work ethic, poor defensive play - he never was a center, not even in Sarnia. Habs fans just badly wanted him to be.

 

[Doc McKenna]

That's 31 points in 25 games for Duchene

Funny everyone thought the sens got fleeced though. However its still ealry in the year. Good on Duchene proving his doubters wrong.

 

[RealityBytes]

What? Is hell frozen over? That would have to happen before that trade is made.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Looks like that outside

 

[Andrei79]

GET EM!

Yes please. We need to pry some guys from Philly, Ottawa and Winnipeg.
