Pears Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Stasny, varlamov, second, or someone like siemens for vanek miller, porter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onions Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 no way buffalo lets go of vanek that easily. he's probably worth a first rounder right now and a second or late first by trade deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice orca Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 This deal does somewhat make sense, contrary to popular belief. It's possible that more pieces will be added in the trade. Reasons for Colorado: 1) Duchene, O'Reilly, MacKinnon down the middle. Stastny is the odd man out and after a couple of rough seasons, he needs a change of scenery. If Colorado doesn't trade him, he guaranteed walks. 2) Varlamov has not proven to be the true starting tender that the Avs need. He's been incredibly subpar since arriving in Colorado. There's a likely chance that Miller stays in Colorado long term as well since it's in the Western Conference. 3) Colorado potentially becomes an immediate playoff contender in this trade Reasons for Buffalo: 1) The goalie market is pure crap. Nobody is going to give futures for Miller, without a big contract coming back. 2) Stastny allows Hodgson, Ennis and Grigorenko to have more sheltered minutes, which they all need. Cody is a better fit for the 2C position anyways at this point. 3) Stastny has had a rough couple of seasons and a change of scenery along with playing with an elite winger in Vanek can turn his career around. There are people here that believe Buffalo gets wrecked and some that believe that the Avs get wrecked but it's actually a fair deal that benefits both sides. Still, I think there could potentially be other pieces at play here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicklas Bo Hunter Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I could see if this trade happened that vanek would be on his way out. maybe with a young center.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insomniac604 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Only if Varlamov is shipped out. But, if anything, Statsny should be traded for a top 4 D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudrias Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Lol. I'd rather have Horvat than Stastny, and asking for Duchene is just completely unrealistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniwaki Canuck Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Uh, there's this thing called the salary cap, and Stasny makes more than Cory, in addition to being a crappy return talent-wise. The good thing about Cory for Horvat was converting a current asset into a strong prospect while the cap was falling. Lots of GMs wanted to do it, but Gillis actually succeeded. It doesn't make up for how he handled the goalie situation but it takes some of the sting out of it. And mg couldn't pull off Cory for duchene or stastny package? -____- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 We kinda already knew it, and not that they'd tell us if it was true, but: Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger Sabres source says most recent Miller trade rumors are bogus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogbyte Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Miller>Varlamov, Hodgson>Statsny. Makes no sense, Buffalo would be blind to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nergish Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 It makes sense to me honestly. Stastny would help Buffalo and then they could have a 1-2 punch at center with Stastny and Hodgson. But the one thing that dosent make sense is Colardo needing Miller too much with Varlamov in net unless he dosent mind being a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 How is he not? Hodgson is already the 1st line center in Buffalo, while and younger while Stastny has less points than him last season. Stastny is highly overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 There is a vast difference between Stastny and Hodgson. That difference is that Stastny is a proven 1st/2nd center, and Hodgson is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Regardless, Hodgson is the one playing on the top line while Stastny is playing on the 2nd/3rd line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Ha. Ha. Ha. Colorado had Duchene and O'Reilly, and now Mackinnon as well. Who does Buffalo have again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
