Coconuts Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 50 minutes ago, -Vintage Canuck- said: The Colorado Avalanche asked for Cody Ceci, a first-round pick in 2017, Thomas Chabot or Colin White + more in exchange for either Matt Duchene or Gabriel Landeskog. Senators GM Pierre Dorion scoffed at the price. "Joe and I talked and, at this point in time, I can’t see us going in that direction. It wouldn’t make sense." If that's what they're asking from Ottawa I can only imagine what they would want form other teams. They ain't gonna get that sort of return, not this season. If the price doesn't come down to something more reasonable Colorado could end up standing at the alter alone once the trade deadline passes.

wallstreetamigo Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Much like the Oilers had to do, the Avs need to make a big change. They also need an experienced head coach who can get the most out of this group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy crap, no wonder that team is so poorly run if they value players like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Avs need a new GM. Sakic was a great player but he's not a good GM. It's not a knock against him. Gretzky wasn't a great coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Label this under the WTF have you been smoking idiot category Count Boston out? With the Colorado Avalanche putting a high price tag on both Gabriel Landeskog and Matt Duchene, Joe Haggerty of CSN New England suggests the Boston Bruins should stay out of the sweepstakes for either. Haggerty believes that if the Avalanche demand either Brandon Carlo or Charlie McAvoy in a package from the Bruins, then Boston should demand Nathan MacKinnon in return. Carlo, 20, was the 37th overall pick of the 2015 NHL Draft and owns four goals and nine assists in 59 games with the Bruins this season. McAvoy, selected 14th overall last year, owns four goals and 20 points at Boston University this season. Haggerty believes a Duchene deal for the Bruins would have to involve David Krejci, and his $7.25 million cap hit, going back to the Avalanche. Overall, however, he believes Duchene makes more sense for the rival Montreal Canadiens than he does for the Bruins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bergevin said no number 1 centres are available, so either the price is to high or they don't view Duchene as a #1 centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bergevin may not but WTF is Haggerty smoking. Carlo worth Mackinnon? Even as part of a package deal WTF.

terrible.dee Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I think Sakic is right to do what he's doing The only way he stays on as GM is if he hits either trade or both out of the park If he is unable to do that I believe he will be replaced this summer, and they are going to want to let their new GM handle these delicate superstar trades, rather than haveing him clean up after some half-baked Sakic deal Sakic could have been brought along and learned to be an executive over time, by the organization, hell, even the Wings preferred Yzerman cut his teeth elsewhere before he finally returns to Detroit and keeps the GM spot for the rest of his lifemaniacal so Roy may be a megalomaniacal sociopath but those are plusses when running a hockey team. Why did the organization turn on him so quickly? I thought he was getting results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duchene can score, and he can be deployed at center ice, but that is where any similarity to a #1 center ends Part of the problem with the team is that he plays like a winger while taking up some of the mot important minutes at center ice. all the things a great center does:, controlling the slot on both offense and defense, controlling the transition game, starting set plays and making them happen, seeing plays develop and distributing the puck accordingly, working with the defence to transition the puck and hitting winners with receivable passes at top speed aren't things he does, they require fierce hard work and attention to detail, not his strong suits, He plays like a lazy winger, let the other guys do the dirty work so he can get the pass for an easy scoring chance Like Pat Quin said about (one of my faves so it pains me to repeat) Cliff Ronning "He's only a center once he crosses the opposition blueline" I think he was being a little hard on Cliff who played an underrated tenacious game, but in this case the shoe fits., I am praying Toronto gets him, and trades Kadri to get him, they would be sooooo screwed. But Trump may not like that trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush17 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 If only the money could work out. I bet Sakic would love reuniting Drouin with MacKinnion :D Could you image the damage those 2 could cause together at the nhl level. Their top level talent doesnt mesh well. Through in drouin and you have instant chemistry. Tampa is going to have a hard time signing him to term with their current cap situation. Be interesting too see if somehow parts can be moved to see it come to fruition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see Philly being willing to part with either of ghost or Provorov and I don't think players like Schenn or Couterier would be what Colorado wants.
