Speculation: Predictions, predictions, predictions...
- Thread starter Bill Peckerskull
- Start date
- After Grubi walks in FA Sakic pulls off his yearly fleece by buying low on Gibson.
- The biggest FA splash will be in the form of following in Tampa's footsteps by signing both Coleman and Goodrow.
- Seattle takes Donskoi, leaving everyone pissed that the Avs are still stuck with Graves.
- Sakic re-signs Nemeth at the request of Jared Bednar as Avs board implodes upon itself.
BUT THEN:
- Sakic fumbles his handling of Landy, so he takes his services elsewhere by way of an 8x8. As a result, the Avs gain their new captain after Sidney Crosby quietly requests a trade. The Avs trade a huge futures package, including one of Burkie's favorites in Nazem Kadri as the topper. Sid and Nate wear matching outfits all season long as they go on to win b2b2b2b Cups.

Why do you know so much shit about him? Is he a family member of yours? If you're just a fan that's pretty creepy.

He IS Ian Cole. Of course he'd know if his house is for sale

What was said about Kadri was that people get fooled into thinking that he's a physical player. He isn't physical at all until he throws a suspendable hit.
They were right!

Kadri is like Makar in that they’re both “opportunistic” hitters. They don’t use their body’s to separate the player from the puck. They use their bodies when they notice a head down and take advantage of an opportunity to light someone up.

I comb the league for news and the story was in the Denver paper. This might be one reason why I am so well informed. Anyway here is a link to the Denver Post story. Former Avalanche player Ian Cole lists his University Park home for $3M

Makar is more physical than Kadri.
In Kadri’s first year with the Avs he threw some big hits, but you didn’t see it much this year. Makar is at least good for one big crunch a game.

Outside of the fight to defend concussed Donskoi I don't remember him being physical in his 1st season either. Unless we count talking shit as physical.
Makar throws a handful of legit big hits per season, Kadri doesn't do that.
Ok, wild predictions
- Eichel to LA, Turcotte + #8 Pick in the draft as the main pieces in the deal.
- Reinhart to Minnesota. Kevin Fiala the main piece going to Buffalo
- Tarasenko t0 Edmonton. James Neal is part of the trade.
- Kuznetsov to the Rangers. Jacob Trouba the center piece of the deal.
- Danault and Hamilton both sign in Seattle.
- Colorado gets Jones. Byram and Newhook aren't involved, Justin Barron and a 2022 1st are the main pieces.
- Lehner is traded to Pittsburgh. Jarry part of the return to Vegas.
- Monahan is traded to Vegas.
- Nashville trades a draft pick for Seattle to select Matt Duchene.

My apologies but as Dizzy Dean once said. " It ain't bragging if its true".

That'd better be one hell of a pick Nashville is sending over. I'd take Ryan Johansen before Matty D and Johansen pisses me off to no end, and he doesn't even play for the Avs.
I think the Preds would be on cloud nine if Seattle could be paid into taking Duchene from them.

My only prediction is that Jones and Girard are swapped, with a couple other pieces involved going either way
I had a dream that the Kraken took an unprotected Landeskog in the expansion draft to try to convince him to sign there with their exclusive week. I was pissed off when I woke up not because I thought they would sign Landeskog (who would just return to the Avs) but because there was no cap relief.

My only prediction is that Gru waits till UFA opens, but still signs with the Avs for way more money than anyone here is comfortable paying him. He'd be crazy to not see what the open market would be willing to pay for him during what will probably be his only season coming off a Vezina nomination.

That's a $3M home? It looks like a townhome packed like a sardine between other townhomes. Does it extend for like 50 yards back?
Or is this just another case of Cole overvaluing himself?

That’s just how f***ed the Denver housing market is. It’s tough to find a townhome under 2-300k.

I also see that Cole is trying to sell it for $1.1M more than he bought it for three years ago. So I'm leaning towards my latter comment now.
