Sujet: Give me Wright or give me death
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KrispyBBQ</b></div><div>Oh I'd totally would rather have Kaut or bowers just cause they are younger. I was thinking that Jost has less value than those guys just cause he has not really performed for where he was drafted and the others still have a little more time to grow. And yeah, wouldn't see Johnson (or really anybody lol) waiving his contract to go to Arizona, but you also never know. From a just straight up trade, I feel like both teams prosper. Just wanted to make some fun trades regardless of NMC, it seems like everyone has a NMC nowadays haha.</div></div>

He hasn't really performed to the same level they wanted him to when they drafted him, but he's starting to show signs of being a good 3C/penalty killer for them. They also can likely keep him on a good value contract for awhile, with Colorado in a win now mode I think him being a valuable roster player would make him a harder sell than kaut and bowers that have started to have some questions arise about whether they will crack the avs lineup anytime soon. But, that's just, like my opinion man.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Richard88</b></div><div>Sakic said yesterday that he sees Maltsev as the 4C. Is Jost-Maltsev enough in the bottom 6 center spots? I don't think so.

With Jost being arbitration eligible I think Sakic might move him if he can get a better center.</div></div>

For the right price, I'm sure Colorado would move jost, but I doubt they are openly shopping him. He showed great strides last year at the end of the regular season. I think they would be very comfortable with him as the 3C, since he showed he can move up to 2C for a few games in a pinch during the regular season at least. He should be resigned on a relatively low cost per year contract as well, with a strong potential for over performing that contract, personally I'd be shocked to see him be moved for those reasons.

Sujet: Focus on forward scoring depth
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Anaheim would have strongly considered that deal if the pick were the Avs' 2021 first. But a 2023 second would result in a player who (a) wouldn't be likely to make the NHL until 2026, two or three years later than the player chosen with the 2021 first, and (b) less likely to make the NHL at all.</div></div>

That could be, I struggled a bit with Rakell's worth as a 1 year rental player. I may have been over valuing helleson's value on the deal too much. I'm not sure if I would do the trade for a 1st. I would probably start the season without Rakell and then get a better rental forward at or closer to the trade deadline with that first if that's the case. There are some potentially great rentals at the deadline this year, depending on which teams are sellers.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JH21</b></div><div>1- Grubauer will not be signing for 4.9 million. Not a chance.

2- Erik Johnson cannot be counted on. If he is penciled in the top 4 the Avs are screwed.

3- Raanta and Newhook on the 3rd line? No thanks. Newhook needs to play wing and there is no chance Raanta is ready for 3rd line minutes.

4- Compher, Kaut and a 1st for Reinhart? Not a chance. If you were a Sabres fan would you be happy with that trade?</div></div>

For grubauer, I think there is a chance that can happen. Comparables are varlamov and lehners deals at 5 per year, with the flat cap it's possible the price is slightly lower. Could it go above 5? Yeah, but I doubt by a lot.

For Johnson, I'm not sure what the choice is, I don't think he will be on IR, at least not to start the season. Maybe his spot in the lineup changes to third pairing, but he's going to play unless he gets hurt again. So start of the year line up has him in.

With ranta, I think he could make it work on the third line with the right training camp and off-season. Maybe he goes down to 4th line, or back to the ahl instead and mahltsev moves up and Sherwood moves in or something. It's a depth detail of the roster moves and wouldn't change the off-season moves. I think Colorado should at least try to play newhook at his natural center position to develop him long term into the 2nd line center. Bednar loves to juggle lines so I'm sure he will shield newhook in that role, but I think it's the right move long term.

For the Reinhart trade, yeah probably not happy as a sabres fan, but I just read a report on sportsnet indicating buffalo is asking for a first round pick and a prospect for Reinhart. That's why I built this was to see how that would look. Maybe that report is wrong on their ask, or Colorado's prospect needs to be better than this, or because the 1st is likely a late round pick they need additional picks to be added... Hard to say. That's my basis for the trade though.

Sujet: Keep it simple improve at the trade deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>I’d slide Newhook to LW on the 2nd line letting him play center offensively and Kadri defensively like what they do often with MacK and Landy. Slide Jost to 3C where he was so good the last half of this season and a more typical spot for one of the primary PK guys, and I don’t know what the Avs are doing with Kaut but I’d put him at RW on the 3rd line with Jost and Nichushkin. With what you did on the 4th just slide Maltsev to the LW. Imo Byram is going to be a star and by the end of the year he is in the top 4, but with that d-Corp you can blender however you want to accommodate for the game situation, but I’d be inclined to keep EJ on the 3rd pairing to keep his minutes in check but that’s me nitpicking.</div></div>

Nitpicking is part of the fun. I feel like kaut is sliding on the depth charts for the team. It would be great to see him turn it around this year though for sure. Likely bumping Sherwood out of the lineup, and sending Megna down to the eagles. If kaut could make it work on the third line I'd be interested in sliding nichushkin down to comphers line. With O'Connor, compher and nichushkin that's a fairly good defensive line.

Sujet: Dream top 6F
Definitely could be true on the underpayment, I am likely a little too optimistic with how much of a difference an 8 year deal could make on guys that age. A couple of relevant contracts as references, Lehner at 5 years x 5 million and Jordan Binnington at 6 years x 6 million. I don't know, it might be possible to get Grubauer at 8 years x 5 million, but I could just be dreaming. The Landy one, yeah that's likely asking for a home team discount that may be a bit too much for him to stomache, maybe the 8 year deal is enough to make him accept it though. With regards to bridging Makar or not, if it makes the team better by doing so, then I think you do it. Unless Makar simply isn't open to it at all. There have been a number of rumours indicating that a bridge deal is being considered for Makar though.
