Proposal: The unthinkable


Recommended Posts

Gunna keep this short and sweet. Colorado And Van... You already know where this is going

 

Van Gets : Landeskog and Barrie

 

Col gets: Tanev, Hansen, 2017 1st, 2018 2nd and a prospect.

 

This trade would only make us better and actually give more direction of this team.

 

Crazy I know.

Oh it's unthinkable alright.

 

Unthinkable in the sense that Colorado doesn't even think about doing this for a second. 

 

Barrie >> Tanev

 

Landeskog >>>>>Hansen

 

2017 1st probably isn't Top 15 if this deal is made. 2018 2nd value is microscopic.

 

That prospect would have to be one of Juolevi, Boeser, or Demko to just get the conversation started.

Can't believe many of guys really think Barrie is worth all that? Colorado fans will HAPPILY take a defensive defenseman that clearly has no defensive deficiencies over a liability in Barrie. I know if we had Barrie and was looking to trade him, I'd trade for Tanev straight up and not look twice at the trade again. Colorado need to get the puck out of their net, and Tanev would be a significant improvement. Maybe not offensively, though he has upside, his defensive game is what will make him flourish. Tanev is the definition of what all teams want in a defensive defenseman. Only down to his game is that he's not entirely physical but that's probably it. Legitmate top 3 shutdown defenseman. 

 

Tanev is worth more than the possible market value he's currently at.

Obviously my idea is crazy and the Sedins wouldn't waive their NTC's, but hypothetically speaking I'm curious if the Avs would do a trade of the Sedins and Edler for Landeskog, Duchene and Barrie.  I doubt they would cause of age, but if they felt like their core could compete for a cup in the next few years then maybe they would?

lololol.. although.. I might be willing to give up, say, Baertschi in this deal to save a pick.

 

Boeser, Virtanen, Demko and Horvat are here to stay.

 

The one catch is that Barrie is not signed, so that can easily bring the terms down to a Beartschi level.

Markstrom instead of Demko?

I guess if you think about the value of a top-4 let alone a top-2 defenceman, that alone is a future/current top-6 forward PLUS a good pick. 

A top-4 winger alone would cost a top-4 defenceman.

 

Landeskog could probably cost Tanev straight up to be fair considering the Hall for Larsson trade. Larsson is not a flashy top pairing defenceman similar to Tanev but a bit better. Hall is a top-5 winger in the NHL and a lot better than Landeskog, so the way I see it Tanev for Landeskog is pretty much a saw-off.

 

Barrie will be tricky though and to be honest probably costs us something like Virtanen/Horvat/Boeser + 1st or 2nd round pick at the least. That's a lot, but Barrie's commanding a lot around the league.

 

I'd be happy to sit with our team as is at the moment, but if we're to trade Tanev we need a top-4 Dman back, and if we're trading a forward we need to hang onto our centers. I'd do something like this:

 

Tanev + Hansen + Virtanen for Barrie + Landeskog

 

If they want, give them a 2nd or 3rd rounder too.

 

Virtanen will be a solid top-6 powerforward but Landeskog is that already. Plus we've got Boeser about a year away from the NHL with not much room to squeak in.

Tanev has a few years left of playing decent shutdown defence but Barrie is arguably one of the best puck movers in the game today. With Gudbranson, Sbisa and Tryamkin, JB may think we have our shutdown guys.

 

Sedin - Sedin - Eriksson

Baertschi - Horvat - Landeskog

Etem - Sutter - Rodin

Gaunce - Granlund - Burrows

Dorsett

 

Edler - Barrie

Hutton - Gudbranson

Sbisa - Larsen

Tryamkin

 

That's a very deadly top-6 all of a sudden and finally our defence has the perfect split of puck movers to shutdown defencemen.
