Preds pass. Not enticing enough to move Noavk

Lindholm is a good addition for the Avs team.
But what about Henrique?
Isn't he a good fit for the Avs?

Chicago likely needs a 4th or maybe 3rd

Colorados 1st this year is likely one of the last 1sts in the draft. Calgary's 2nd is likely in the first half of the 2nd. I'm not sure moving up one draft and maybe 15 spots is good enough for Lindholm. Nothing wrong with Behrens, but drop the 2nd from Calgary and I think you're closer. Down year or not Lindholm is going to be a pretty hot target for alot of teams wanting to make a run

That’s a no for Chicago, Colorado needs to attach a 2nd round pick to Johansen to get the Hawks to bite.

a 2nd is not going to happen unless something comes back the other way. It is 1 year beyond this one of a 4mil player, and you have like 6 players signed recently to $4mil that are worse than RyJo.

good luck with your rebuild.

Flames wouldn't do that.

I think there will be much better offers.

Then find a different trade partner.

First thank you.
Hawks are not interested in bringing in “RyJo” yet there have been tons of trade proposals by Ava fans lately sending him to the Hawks. As you clearly stated Hawks have already given out a few contract extensions lately, leaving no room for “RyJo”. Hawks are content to walk away but if the Avs want the Hawks to take him they are going to have to attach a higher pick to him then they are comfortable with.
Is that pick a 2nd? Possibly but there are always negotiations behind every deal.

You just gave 4m to Marazek... Stop acting like your team isn't throwing away money to hit the cap floor. RyJo is a great team guy and plays slow like the hawks.

Chicago doesn't need Johansen to hit the cap floor so stop acting like they need to do Colorado any favors.

Stop acting like Chicago needs to do a team favors to hit the cap floor

Mrazek has been great if you haven't noticed or watched him and serves a good purpose for Chicago for the next two years and they signed him without doing another team a favor.

THey need to do something, and there's a lot worse players than RyJo to utilize for that

Free agency works nice and has for Chicago if teams don't want to pay to move cap hits they don't want

the central is more fun when chicago is good. Or good enough. Still hope we crush you.

2nd seems realistic to prev cap dumps the past 3-4 seasons. Ryjo is a significantly more useful player than some previous ones, and probably could be flipped for more picks. I don't think Chicago is the only team willing to make this trade happen, i'm not worrying about it. I think a 3rd and a mid prospect would do fine too.

Who are they giving the contracts to? Foligno, Dickinson and Mrazek… guys who have been in their organization, system, guys they know first hand want to be there to mentor the young players. They comfortably gave overpayments to guys they know and trust, not outsiders.

You Avalanche fans are conveniently ignoring Davidson’s past trades:

Dickinson (2yrs x $2.65m) and a 2nd to the Hawks for Stillman (2yrs x $1.35m). This was at a time when the Hawks needed a veteran centre.

Zaitsev (1 1/4yrs x $4.5m) a 2nd and 4th round pick for FC

Bailey (1yr x $5m, which they bought out for $3.8m) and a 2nd round pick for FC.

So when Hawks fans say a 2nd round pick will need to be attached to Johansen, we are not just pulling it out of thin air, the precedence has been set by Chicago’s GM. If the price is too steep to pay then find another team, there will be plenty of other teams willing to pay the price to move their unwanted contracts.

In this case, just my opinion, but I think the Hawks would do it for a 3rd or maybe even a 4th simply because they can retain on Rylo and flip him at next year's deadline for a 2nd or 3rd if he performs and doesn't get injured. Less risk here IMO than Dickinson, Zaits; statistically he is better than the prior names prior to the Hawks taking on their contracts.

This team is getting away from slower players. Damn near every player recently drafted is a high motor, high speed type. The guys they've overpaid are around to lead by example on the ice. Richardson was a hard nosed player and that's how he coaches. If RyJo can play that sort of game and lead by example then maybe there's a chance the Hawks acquire him. Everything I've seen says it won't happen though. Yes the Hawks are overspending on bottom six guys but that's to pave the road and create a culture for future Hawks.
