Thread: 2023-2024 Avs ideally
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>Newhook doesn’t need a change of scenery he needs some regular linemates. Lundell’s most common linemates are Sam Reinhart and Barkov(44% and 23%) Newhook’s are Rodrigues (24%), Compher (15%), Cogs &amp; LOC (both 13%) and Lundell managed 3 more points. LMAO. Newhook played 6 minutes last night because he had a big defensive error and Bednar punishes that. Tell me what do you think his production would have been if he had played an extended stretch with a healthy Landeskog and Nichushkin as Bednar intended. Such a poor analysis on your part, and an even worse trade. The Avs would NEVER do such a dumb trade.</div></div>

You're right, if Newhook played with Mackinnon and McDavid, he'd put up numbers, its his linemates. He's had ample time with top players injured to take the next step and powerplay time, but has done nothing with it. If you actually watched the games, you would see Newhook is the new Jost, nothing more. Lundell has so much more potential, and I doubt Florida fans even accept this trade, as they've been asking for Byram in return for Lundell.

Thread: Avalanche by Jim Kartatic
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kartatic_Jim</b></div><div>How much do you think Val and Nazem will ask? I just lowered Manson and kept same Helm, Sturm, Kuemper. Still have 3.5m left.

My idea was to keep top 2 lines unchanged (having one forechecking forward in Val/Lehky + 2 powerhouse forwards). Also really like Mansons play, solid Dmen, big hitter.

First I would let go is Kuemps, he is just above-average goalie behind amazing defense, something Grubauer happened to be as well (and we see how he played with Kraken). We have basically the same in Frankie for 2m and would be looking for second goalie before playoffs (depending on Frankies season run) to have solid backup (or starter).
Edit: also I am worried on having two 32yo goalies. We should bring some long-term goalie to add to Frankie.

Sturm and Cogs should not ask more imo, and if they would, let them go, we can fill their posts in regular season with prospects. Add some experienced guys before playoffs again.

Also, I would trade Girard, EJ and Compher as they are quite costly for performance they provide.

If we will keep solid defense + 2 great lines, we are good for regular season and will see how Frankie and prospects will play. Then we can add guys for playoffs.</div></div>

Nuke, Naz, Lekk, and Mason all get at least 1 mill more.
