Speculation: Roster Building Thread XXXV: Calm Before the Storm

[bl02]

Avs fans love Jost and would be disappointed to see him go but there is too much depth in front of him to get a real chance.

They do??? From what i've read they would love to pull the wool over someone's eyes to take him for something

There's probably two factions with very different opinions. Like our fanbase and Buch.

this is the first deadline that i've been torn...I don't want to trade kreider. hell I wish we could keep fast too...thats my heart talking, my brain knows what needs to be done and I believe completely that JG & JD will make the tough call and sell sticking with the big picture

 

[Kaapo Hollweg]

i don't either but to be fair we also have heard much about fast either in terms of trade rumors or contract talks...mostly just assuming he'll be moved cause he's a ufa.

there are still 7th round picks that we don't own and i have faith that mckegg could return one of the remaining ones

Let's accumulate all 7th round picks and flip them all at the draft for one top 10 OA pick.

except buch is good lol

Yes, I am a part of that faction as well.

I think it makes sense tbh.

Doesn't mean that it would happen, but it makes sense. Trochek hasn't been the same since getting hurt, but there is bounce back potential there and even in his current state, he isn't overpaid.

He's been better this year than any previous years. It's just once they got Hoffman he went off PP1 and he's really good on the PP so his overall numbers tanked.

Not according to the Trade Board thread, seem to really like him.

 

[Savant]

Been saying Jost is bad now for months. Not changing mind now. Would be furious if he was part of the return. No reason to force Kreider to Colorado for a guy like that.

Classic pumping up his value there to negotiate a better trade...

Does he play PP1 for the Rangers though? Why get him if he is going to have the same problem. Especially after his injuries.

 

[Crease]

I do not have time for this tomorrow. The deadline should be on a Sunday. Crease 2020.

Preying on US College hockey fans. Preying on people that see an available former 1st round pick.

part of the return as in the 3rd piece then it is fine...but as a key part coming back no way

Is that realistic though? Especially with Sakic at the helm

 

[Michal]

24 hours...

 

[Cassano]

Is Jost worth a 1st rounder?

Well teams know Gorton is against the clock now. He waited WAY too long to try and sign Kreider. They will tell Gorton to take it or have Kreider walk for nothing on July 1st.

I'm not expecting much back more than a 1st and ok prospect. Hayes deal could end up being better than what we get for Kreider if we trade him.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Is Jost worth a 1st rounder?

Absolutely not, maybe a 3rd at this point.

 

[Leetch3]

no but I also have no interest in trading with the avs anyway since other than newhook who I know isn't available none of their other prospects move the needle.

 

[Savant]

Is Jost worth a 1st rounder?

Not even close

 

[bl02]

I thought he was decent in the playoffs last year at spots but could he really fetch a first? I know he was highly touted but he he has scoed 2 goals in 56 games and 5 in 57. 2 goals in 56 games!!! I mean thats pretty horrible territory especially on one of the better offensive teams in the league

which was going to be the return all along...

He's not bad at 5v5. He's just also really good on the PP and since he's not there now he's more of a 50 point player than the 70+ point player he was one year. And I would say yes he would be there for the Rangers over Strome and certainly if Kreider gets dealt.
