Value of: Zadorov and/or Jost

[Hasbro]

I’d take a 2nd rounder this year straight up for Zad.

I feel like Jost being a recent 1st rounder gets traded for a player rather than a pick to cover tracks a bit.

But this will be a weird offseason!

What does give me hope is Sakic got a decent return for a player I wasn’t sure was worth qualifying last year in Kerfoot.

 

[Buffdog]

As a jets fan I'd take jost off your hands. With little down, our centre depth is poop. I'd even give him a shot at 2C, if he doesnt pan out then he can play in the bottom six. Provided the price was right, of course.

 

[EdAVSfan]

If they're traded for other players, how does that make room in the lineup?

Jost is a perfectly serviceable bottom 6 player. He can stay. I'd prefer Zadorov stay and Girard moved to give Byram a spot, cause Byram can fill in for Girard's style of play and role better than he can Zadorov's. Plus, being a cap league, and Girard making more than Z,opens up cap room as well. I'd do Girard(and maybe a plus) for the right scoring winger.

Yeah, that’s not going to happen. The Avs are not trading Girard. And they’re certainly not picking Girard over Zadorov.

Byram doesnt need space created for him. First, we don’t know if he’ll be on the team. And if he is, he can go slowly on the 3rd and move his way up to the top 4 as he progresses.

trade a good top 4 defense, locked up long term, for a winger , the least valuable position.

after typing all this, i realize you’re probably not being serious, or at least I hope.

Johnsson + Bracco + 2nd

No thanks. Bracco has zero value and Johnsson holds about as much as Jost given his injury status and poor play last season. If TML ever want to get value out of Johnsson, will need to be near the next deadline assuming he’s healthy and actually playing well at that time.

 

[EdAVSfan]

The underrating of Zadorov will continue.
Some team will get a hell of a player for very cheap (but not as cheap as people on hfboards are giving him away for)...
I'd very much rather trade Graves than Zadorov personally.

I'd also rather keep Jost for another year than ship him off for junk like a 3rd round pick...
He won't cost much and is a decent bottom 6 option for now with still some upside...
Odds are that both Nieto and Namestnikov will move on and we always have injuries so I don't see the need to get rid off him. Especially if the return is as bad as people believe...

The writing is on the wall for him. And it’s his own fault. He’s terribly inconsistent.

and he’s soon to be a very expensive bottom pairing dman for the Avs.

If the salaries were reversed between Zadorov and Graves, the convo would be different. But at this point, it is what it is.

From LA’s perspective, I’d be very OK with one of our later 2nd rounders for Zadorov. Guy brings a physical edge that LA’s blue-line lacks right now. Maybe he can become a more consistent player as well.

He's a good guy in the locker room too.

I would put a condition if I'm Sakic that Zads can't be dressed against the Avs in the regular season.

it would be smart. Even the offense-less Z would score on the Avs in his first game against them.

 

[Galaxydoggystyle]

This thread is comical. Avs fans have been trying to ship Zadorov and Jost to the Habs asking for Danault and or Petry and all that is being offered are 2nd and 3rd round picks

 

[howkie]

Jets buttsoft defense could use a Zadorov, and I think having him on our team would save Scheif from a bunch of headtrauma.
Zad with Pionk should work well, and then ease Samberg into the third pair with someone, hopefully Niku.

You mean like when habs fans tried to trade ryder, halak and a 2nd for everyone in the league?

this is what happens when fans know players have one foot out the door. Try to exchange spare parts for needed pieces.

Hey at least Ryder was a decent goal scorer and Halak was also a decent goalie and that 2nd ended up being PK Subban

 

[Islay1989]

One thing with Zadorov is while he is frustrating in the regular season he really stepped up in the playoffs two years in a row. personally, I'd much rather hang on onto him than the freelancing Graves.

Each player has their benefits.

• Graves. Cheaper, plays well with Makar and less prone to mistakes;
• Zadorov. Plays better with more minutes, higher upside and occasionally dominate.

Sakic should offer both players and move based on the higher return.

No, he most certainly does not. He leeches off of him and holds him back with his freelancing. I'm sick to death watching Makar hang back because Graves decided to go play as a rover back in the day. And as for the less prone to mistakes part, dude makes plenty of them.

[_Del_]

Zadorov would have some value. Perhaps like a 2nd and a third. Or maybe 24 + Zadorov to move up 6-8 spots.

Jost likely has little value. He’ll never be a big top 6 producer.

Zadorov and Jost and #24 to Edmonton for 14, Russel, and a decent prospect that Edmonton fans overrate but is completely expendable.

Johnsson + Bracco + 2nd

Stop trying to make Bracco happen.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Stop trying to make Bracco happen.

Yeah, come on.

 

[Merrrlin]

Sakic confirmed an hfboards member

 

[Lion Hound]

How bout Zadorov to NYR For Lias Anderson. Rangers can add a pick in the middle rounds if Anderson isn’t enough

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Zadorov + Grubauer to Vegas for Fleury!

Zadorov + Grubauer to Vegas for Fleury!

You do realize that Zadorov+Grubauer will cost more then Marc Andre-Fleury correct, So why would Vegas make that deal?
