Pre-Game Talk: Week to Trade Every Player (@TOR, @PIT, @WAS)

[tigervixxxen]

The road continues in the mecca of hockey and some other eastern cities as the Avs decide if they are going to take every player to the consignment shop or not.

I'd expect a practice at some point today. With news or not.

Surely Street will be sent down soon, no? PAP will score all the goals on Tuesday.

 

[agentblack]

All tough games ahead. Yikes. Then again they are all tough for this team.

 

[NateTheGreat]

Hoping for atleast 2 wins this week to really start believing playoffs are within reach again! Im also hoping the Grigs-Mack-Dutchy line keeps clicking (brings Duchene trade value up)

 

[Iceberg]

The question is: Will Duchene play for the Avs or the Leafs tomorrow?

 

[tigervixxxen]

Good for that bum!

No Berra though? We can't have two Avs winning stars, right?

 

[Freudian]

Toronto. I guess Duchene and Gardiner can just walk to the other dressing room after the trade.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Perfect title. I voted for Redmond, Grigo and Wagner. Pickard may ride the bench until the boys are in Winnipeg next Monday. I'll be at that game too!

Probably Wednesday, keep him around while Landy is suspended and let Wagner figure out the system

Voted for Grigo and Wagner. Challenging week, even Toronto is not to be underestimated. Need 2/3 wins here to not fall into despair again.

I'll be happy with .500 to finish this road trip.

Let out all the lulz if the Leafs actually start Bernier against us tomorrow. Reimer has been playing incredible for them and Bernier might be the worst goaltender in the league right now. I hope they play Bernier lol

Im going to the game too! First time I see my boys live since I saw them play in Winnipeg during the Jets inaugural season!

Reimer got the third star last week.

There's absolutely no chance of that happening, like zero

Bernier did play vs the Rangers, so who knows lol. Leafs brass just doesn't seem to like Reimer at all

Trade value increasing!

Tough games this week. But the boys have to be feeling good right now. Let hope they can keep up this level of play and squeak out 2 wins at least.

That's awesome! Any recs of where me and my girlfriend should go pre and post game? We're staying at the Delta. Just like to go for some pub food (wings/nachos) and beers before the game and then a few drinks after. It will be our first time in the Peg. My first time west of Ontario in Canada actually.

If Girgorenko plays well enough to stick on the 1st line, should we want these when Landeskog returns?

Grigorenko - MacKinnon - Duchene
Landeskog - Soderberg - Iginla
Comeau - Malkin - McLeod
Skille - Wagner - Martinsen/Everberg

On paper that doesn't look like much, but so far the compete level has been fantastic on every line.

 

[Ararana]

I'd like to see Landeskog and Soderberg reunited if the Grigs - Mack - Duchene line doesn't crap the bed tomorrow night.

looks pretty solid to me based on their current play and effort levels

Yeah... no. If the Avs can pick up 3 points, it will still be good enough. That would be 9 points in 6 games on the road. If the Avs can get 4 points this week, it would be an incredible success.

Hell, 2 points this week and a regulation win over Winnipeg would still be great.

I love the look of this. Like you said, it doesn't look like much but it's the best we can make out of what we have IMO

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

I look forward to a Soderskog reunion.

In all honesty, the Landeskog suspension may have been a blessing in disguise. It gives him a week to rest his shoulder and Grigorenko got a chance to show he can play with skilled players.

To me, the Wagner pickup shows that the Avs realize Grigorenko isn't a 4th line center and probably needs more opportunity.
