Thread: (WPG/LAK) - Dubois for Iafallo, Kupari, Vilardi, 2024 2nd (MTL)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FarhanLuigi</b></div><div>Both turds that can't be seasoned enough to be eaten! I would take Huberdeau over Dubois, at least Hubie isn't lazy but just low on confidence because of Sutter. Too much money for Huberdeau but he can be saved.

PLD is cancer lol Kings</div></div>

Huberdeau has struggled the last two years, but I think he can return to being a point-a-game player who can make his linemates better. That's worth at least close to $10.5 million a season. It would still be an inefficient contract, but not a truly bad contract.

PLD, at his best, is a 60-point player who makes his teammates worse. He wouldn't be worth more than $3 to $4 million and only then for a team with a very good coach / captain to keep him inline.

Thread: Lehky
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FarhanLuigi</b></div><div>Trade Matheson and he will probably turn into Dan Boyle for a contender. You don't trade those kind of players for magic beans.
Habs fans saw what those magic beans were worth from Colorado despite everyone saying it was too much for Lehkonen.
<strong>Most here, they would rather trade 95% of the league for 1st rounders when only the real difference makers are in the top5-10 of the draft and those picks dont get traded, ever!</strong>

Good NHL players should not be discarded especially with Matheson's skating and puck moving or Lehkonen's ferocious 200 ft game and timely scoring</div></div>

i think that's kind of a bit more older mentality, as there seems to be more and more gems from 20 onward nowadays but yeah for the most part that is true. I wouldn't move matheson he is a great leader, good west islander who can appease the fr-qc market, and fills a need for more puck moving on the back end.

Lehkonen would have looked soo good on a line with Suzuki-Slafkovsky which coulda left Newhook-Dach-Caufield to round out the top-6... urghh sigh

Thread: (COL/BUF) - Byram for Mittelstadt
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rolfadinho</b></div><div>Didn’t they already have enough scoring power though?</div></div>

No, all of the offense was running thru the top line and top pair; they needed a secondary scoring threat and had no 2C options.

Also, your post seems reactive to game 1 vs Winnipeg where we had Sam Girard and Jonathan Drouin injured; both impactful players on our overall team defense/transition game. Mittelstadt was a major positive factor in that game to keep Colorado within 1 goal; not to mention Sean Walker's impact (who we would not have acquired without moving Byram). You can't ignore all of that just to imply we needed Byram back.

7 goals on 23 shots, at one point it was 3 goals on 7 shots. The problem is Georgiev not being reliable until he has faced 15+ shots. Probably 2 of the Winnipeg goals are not really anything he can do about; but the Avs need someone who can be "cold" for long stretches while they dominate possession and not give up a goal every 3 shots.
