Caufield is playing with Wisconsins ....

I mean his contract next year really does matter, you guys gotta resign Z, Graves, Nichushkin, Burakovsky, Girard, etc. Bit of a cap crunch there with mostly everyone expecting raises. I think the avs would be better off not going for someone with term. Everyone who has a year someone is gonna throw the "JASON ZUCKER GOT THIS" and its gonna be more dumb comparisons. Kreider makes the most sense or if you're looking cheap go for Kovalchuk or someone like that. Anyone who has term someone is gonna tell you Newhook and Byram or bust and its not worth the dumb arguments filling up your notis

newhook is having a better season than cole caufield but hey sure Sakic would have no issues trading Newhook yet the montreal fan base have been acted like caufield is one of the top prosepcts in the entire NHL.

If you think Newhook is jsut a throw away currency in a trade, then you think caufield is as well

now buzz off, you are actually doing exactly what you are saying I do, yet I am here having a civil coversation about value....go look in the mirror you troll

That's true, Newhook is producing almost double what BC teammate Boldy has been producing and Boldy was taken before Newhook in the draft (to the mild haha f*ck 'em!). Caufield is an insane sniper and I think KK will be setting him up for years to come. But Newhook has that two-way game, he's a top college player as a rookie and juuust turned 19. Imagine him at 21. He could be the Ryan O'Reilly that we DON'T trade away. Screw you Jay Feaster.

I mean it's always fun to play with the idea of reuniting Drouin and Mack. We have Newhook + all those centres listed in the trade so we're not hurting for one. Especially since I think the Avs are trying to time Newhook's development with Kadri's contract.

The only player for me that would make me put almost all the prospects on the table (minus Byram) would be Gallagher. If we lost Timmins in a Gallagher trade, I could be happy with that. If we lost Timmins in a Gallagher+Tatar trade it wouldn't even hurt me. I just don't know exactly what that would look like. And I know MTL fans would hate to lose him, but that's why I'd love to have him and re-sign him.

If my team had the window Colorado does, yes I would trade Caufield for a top 6 winger if that's what I needed, and believed that that is exactly what would put me over the top.
Having 2 playoff runs with Tatar playing the way he is, then in a contract next year cannot be overlooked.

its just me being a bit of an ass bc of how early on there was a lot of Habs fans on here puffing their chests out about caufield over newhook...both are incredible dont get me wrong. But its not this Our player is clearly better than your player snarky comments when they keep on trying to hide posting Avs trades.

One of them did an Avs roster and it ws Newhook Byram and a 2 1sts for Hall...I asked would they do caufield and romonov plus the 1st for hall bc thats what htey asked, and it was a long rant about how their players on an a different level than the ones they put in.

Aside from Price/Drouin rumours earlier this season, there hasn't been any rumours linking any of other Avs top prospects. The most likely thing that has been going around is the rumors of trading Vets on ST deal (Petry, Tatar, Domik, Kovalchuk, etc.). Domi is really the only one linked to players such as Brodin or Dumba.

We seem to have hit an impasse as the only way I'd not be disappointed losing Gally if someone from your top-line Makar or Byram was in the return don't get me wrong I'm not saying that Gallagher is as good as them or has that high of trade value just restating just how much some habs fans would hate to lose him.

But in terms of Timmins if adding one of our better LD prospects not named Romanov need to be sold it might hurt but id be willing to part with Struble or Fairbrother if it could bring us our potential next 1st pair RD

there really wasnt any price drouins rumours were they. Some Boucher guy on TVA saying Avs should trade for Price and then always randomly Avs should trade for Drouin bc he was Macks linemate 7 years ago.

Fan service speculations...sure. Actual Rumours from insiders. None

Yeah that's fair. I like that you've cleared that up. And I am fine accepting that Gallagher won't go to Colorado. A Timmins trade is likely more of an off-season trade if anything. I think most GMs will fill in the TDL inflation rate with draft picks more so than prospects unless it's a Tyler Madden situation and the team can afford it. This is Colorado's first year being seen as a contender so I don't think there's an urgency to drop any of their perceived top prospects this TDL.

dont make me report you for trolling

How does that change anything...remember during the hall period when Habs fans would throw newhook in trades posting them as Avs roster, I asked even back then would you trade caufield for Hall...and it was the same.. NO hes a stud the best pure sniper not in the nhl, etc etc.

Hes a teams top prospect, you dont trade those guys in short sighted deals. Thats the point im trying to get at here
