Sujet: Avs Deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>Landy is primarily a winger and they could push Lehky or Rodridgues back to the 3rd line by having either him or Monahan on the wing. Why wouldn't they want to upgrade their top 6/9 if they want to defend the title? Trading for guys like Monahan is exactly the type of things contending teams do.</div></div>

Landy takes faceoffs for the most part when he's on the ice so him being considered a center isn't out of the question. Avs have maybe 5 prospects who in the next couple years will make the team, not to mention they have almost no drafts picks. If they do trade for someone than they would HAVE to be on the team next year to make it worth it for them. I agree Monahan has been good but not this good, the only way a trade like this goes through is at 11:59 pacific time on trade deadline day when a gm panics.

Sujet: Colorado Next Year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MeetYourMakar</b></div><div>Good post. I don't want Watson on the team. Not sure what Grant brings(thats on me). Behrens probably makes the jump to the ahl. I don't know if EJ has the legs for 1 more year let alone 2. I would be stoked if he did stick around though</div></div>

I think Avs will go bargain hunting again and I could see Watson going unsigned for awhile and signing on to a contender to try to make more money when the cap rises. Character wise youre right though I've seen some of the same stuff as you I'm sure. Grant is one of those Helm type players, there are always four or five in every free agency. Decent penalty killer and a guy who you can trust out there. I agree with Behrens though, especially with how he looked today in the world juniors. EJ you could be right but I have a little bit of rose colored glasses when it comes to him, he just seems so likeable. Hes playing like a beast out there this year too, though I do think he'll need a few games rest when it starts getting closer to the playoffs. If Byram and everyone are healthy then, Englund has proven he can play that sixth defenseman role and push people around.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KrakenTheCode</b></div><div>The Avs can keep MacDermid, as it stands he wouldn't crack the Kraken's 23 man roster, let alone the starting lineup.</div></div>

I see him as a guy who can be on nacho duty but when hes on the ice and especially in a long playoffs series he would be the protector of the kids. Wright, Beniers and more could be pushed around come playoff time and it might be a good idea to have a big guy to take some of the bruiser duty that Oleksiak plays right now. He would be a good insurance to have as well for a team thats good but doesnt have the organizational depth a lot of established clubs have. Plus, having a guy like him who can play defense or offense is big come playoff time when injuries mount. As of right now you're correct that he just maybe make THIS twenty-three man roster.

Sujet: Henrique Playoff Lines
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>We'd be looking for a first for Rico w/ 50% retention. We would really like to try and get the 2023 as it speeds our rebuild up a bit, and pieces on either side could be adjusted for value difference. For example, we could look at sending a 23 2nd with Rico for the 23 1st and something.

Maybe you guys are done with the Kaut experiment, he's a guy who could potentially fit with us, and I hear he has made no friends with the management in CO.</div></div>

I get it from the Ducks perspective but Avs can't give up another first rounder in a row. I'd rather go the 24' first, Marty Kaut, and possibly add in a late round pick for retention purposes. Even if Ducks retain one million that would help immensely once the Avs get healthy and start bringing people back. I've always been a Henrique fan, still can't believe how bad you guys beat up NJ in that trade.
