at that price, I take Zadorov.

i think you're probably asking too much for zadorov and not enough for compher.

cole is good enough to play over timmins or byram.

no chance rangers pay that for zadorov

A 2nd and a 3rd rly isn’t that much

He doesnt even make colorados top 4, rather get cole who would be cheaper to acquire and is actually better than zadorov

thanks

I can't believe 2 bad lottery picks aren't enough for a young, large, serviceable NHL D man. What are people smoking.

thats not true, he plays 4th in 5v5 TOI, and Avs D core is deep. The deployment from 4-6 in Graves Zads and Cole is pretty close.

Toffoli would be a good add, if he hits the market bc Vancouver can afford to keep him, I hope Avs come a calling.
Dont see them moving compher TBH
Marleau isnt needed. Avs would probably have O'Connor as the 13th fwd, especially over Dries

If thats true, then whats stopping us from getting cole for less?

bc cole is 32 next year 1 year away from UFA.....vs a 25 year old with 2 years of RFA control left.
Also Cole wont be much cheaper. When Justin Bruan at 33 with 1 year left went for 2 2nd round picks and Brenden Dillion 29 with 1 year left went for 2 2nd round picks....thats the price for those 4/5 Dmen

they both got a 2nd and 3rd and they both are better than cole and both teams are contending while we are not

they are not better then cole, look up their stats.
And sorry mispoke, dillion had conditional picks to make the 3rd into a 2nd. That is the market value for that simliar Dman. Just bc you are rebuilding doesnt mean avs are going to take less.
If you think you can get Cole or Zads, thats the market value of a 2nd and a 3rd.

I'd probably do that, assuming we trade Strome somewhere to get another 2nd. Zadorov would be a good fit with TDA or make a hard hitting pair with Trouba.

Dillon never had a 2 and 2 condition the condition was 20 2nd and 21 3rd but 20 2nd and 20 3rd if the caps win the cup

you are playing semantics with the point. You said you can get Cole less than a 2nd and a 3rd bc you didnt like that price on Zads...well you wont bc a 2nd and a 3rd is fair market value for the Cole, dillions, Brauns of the world. doesnt matter bc you want to put the rebuilding tag on your team. You want that level of player and that is what the market has been trading them for. avs arent giving you a discount bc you are rebuilding. They are trying to win and not in the favour business.

Why would the Stars take cap off your hands???
