Yeah, our best bet of getting into the top 10 would be Buffalo’s pick. But even then that’s not guarantee since Andersson likely wouldn’t play there.

There's always a few teams every draft that "float" the idea that they're interested in trading their top 5 pick.

It almost never happens, and I'm certain this is the case.
Its to drum up offers they probably wont accept, but give them an idea as to who may be willing to move different assets.

Smart hockey logic, but I doubt they trade their pick it just doesn't make sense for where they are right now as a franchise.

Yup, pops up fairly regularly

Misa is the only thing worth trading up for, and you'd have to get top 2 to do it. I'm still very interested in that, but I think Top 2 is too much to ask for.

Huge maybe, but if you could land 4 that might get you there. It really depends on how much the Islanders decide they want Hagens, and if SJ moves what it takes to get 1st for Schaefer.

e.g.

Coronato (yes, I know he won't be traded just showing value) for 4th

SJ Trades Chernyshov +2nd for 1OA

we trade 4OA, Mews, Honzek for 2nd OA.

NYI comes out with Chernyshov, Mews, Honzek and the 4OA, NYI gets Schaefer, we get Misa?

Ultimately, too complicated.

[bluejays]

No talk of Nelson signing for $7.5M for 3 years? I think he cashed out well. He didn't look that great on the Avs (neither did he on the Isles). Sakic has done good moves in the past, but the past year I question. I don't think he fits on the Avalanche at all.

[Ped]

Sakic is no longer the Avs GM.

I don’t really see the point of trading Zary for a late 1st. You are lucky to get a Zary there.

I don't think we should trade Zary for a late 1st, it's more comparing his trade value vs Klapka's.

I'd keep Zary, unless he is involved in a package to upgrade our top 6.

IMO Mercer is an upgrade and at minimum could be a 3rd line Backlund type as he is already established as a top-notch PK forward.

Rossi in I would use Zary as a package.

Why trade guys like Sharangovich when he won't bring a return and odds are he is much better than he played last year. Last off season nobody was saying he was worthless.

With regards to Klapka vs Ruzicka, I think Klapka will be WAY better. At least when Klapka isn't scoring he's still a menace on the ice and really starting to use his body and hit everything. He can also protect the puck super well and his reach disrupts the opponent.. Ruzicka was either good or pure ####e.

They almost had to re-sign him given what they gave up to get him.

Plus the free agent center market is quite weak. The AAV isnt too bad and the term is good.

With only $1.2MM left to sign 4 players, I assume Lindgren is out. He's a lefty. Wonder if he's a target for Conroy.

Looks like they'll need to clear more cap than that. 5 d men signed, 12 forwards signed. They'll need room for depth. I expect a cap clearing trade at some point.

I'd go hard after Necas right now with the rumors surrounding him and Colorado's cap situation after signing Nelson

Rasmus @50% retained for Necas seems like a really fair deal in my opinion.

Both only have one year left, and Colorado is quite thin on defense. This move would also save them 4.55M with the retention.

Necas seems intent on testing free agency.
For that reason alone I wouldn't trade for him because I think his value will drop as he approaches free agency, so eventually you only flip him as a rental.

That’d be a sweet trade. No one blocking him here for his centre dreams

If there's a team that could give him a legit shot at center, it's the Flames. And even then, a RW of Necas and Coronato Manning the top two RW spots is really nice.

I'd make a move for Necas involving Rasmus. IMO there's little difference in dealing with either potential UFA situations. Could you get more for Razz at the deadline? Maybe. But Necas ticks all the boxes of Flames needs if they think he can play center.
C:
Kadri
Necas
Frost
Backlund

RW:
Necas
Coronato
Klapper
Coleman

LW:
Huberdeau
Coleman
Farabee
Zary
Sharangovich
Lomberg

That's a decent looking fw group with plenty of wiggle room for line tinkering. Necas not really working at C? Move to RW and Zary can work C

I think this makes sense as a post July 1 trade. Both teams can then get a good idea if the players would be willing to sign extensions with the new teams. I like it.

Only if you can talk to him first and gauge his interest in signing. I assume Avs would want to do the same with Rasmus.

[dammage79]

From the Avs perspective, a top 2 RD of Makar and Razz is really sexy.
