Connor Bleackley agrees.

 

[hpbuschmann]

We gotta trade for an average starter goalie and claim a good backup.

Why not get a good starter and an average backup? Lol

I was trying to be somehow realist, but yea youre right

We don't have cap space, assets or any hope left

No I get that, but the request was a bit strange lol

 

[Chiarelli]

Rantanen + Mitts for Pettersson + Hronek + some other shit to make it work some prospect deals

Manson leaves or goes to 3rd pairing

Nuke to f*** off island.

Keep drouin

landy back maybe

Makar surgery maybe

Get Justus some reps as back up until the deadline.

Get J Joey Jr Sabbadoo as the 3G.

I think we all undervalue Rantanen a bit, but he also has some frustrating aspects to his game. If it were at all possibly to acquire some future assets in a trade for him, and sign Guentzel to a long term deal at a comparable number ($8.5m-9.0m) that would be a lateral move which would save money moving forward. Hopefully acquire a top-10/12 pick. I'd then trade Manson, re-sign Walker and your top-6/top-9 is pretty much set.

Drouin - MacKinnon - Guentzel
Landeskog - Mittelstadt - Lehkonen
Wood/x - Colton - LOC
x/Wood - x - Kovalenko

Toews - Makar
Girard - Walker
x - Malinski

At that point you'd have roughly $6mil I'd imagine to fill those remaining three spots.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Not sure where to put this, but he was a legend on Canadian tv.

 

[MarkT]

If nothing else this playoff run has solidified my opinion that the Avs absolutely need to trade Rantanen this offseason. If Nuke is also gone then great - we can keep Drouin, pay a 1A/B goalie to push Georgie, and get/keep some forward depth.
