Avalanche are telegraphing a trade that requires cap. Agree with the Giroux speculation, which is gross.

I don't think you have watched Jost play. His metrics are awful, which is one of the reasons why he doesn't play as often. He's okay defensively, but his skating doesn't match the Avs style. He also plays big for a smaller guy, not in a good way though. He'll slow down to protect a puck as if he's Joe Thornton, then he gets bodied and has the puck taken away. He will try power moves that result in easy giveaways. There's room for him to grow if he gets into the right team, but he really hasn't demonstrated much, and has mostly regressed (last year was a decent year for him).
