If you watch The avalanche games then you would understand that landeskog is a complete player he brings more to the game then points just like Ryan O'Reilly

Oh I know, we don't need everybody to be Ryan O'Reilly, but the guy that was 25th is pp60 is pretty impressive

The only player I would take a run at for the New York Islanders is Frans Nielsen
He could be that Hecht type role for us I wouldn't mind him for the third line center

What do you mean you don't need everyone to be Ryan O'Reilly we would win 4 cups if we had a whole team of them ..

Also, Colorado is maybe the worst coached team in the league, Landy might flourish somewhere else

This.

I like ROR more than Okposo but there is nothing wrong with a guy who is purely there to net the puck.

Yeah, it would be great to have more natural goal scorers but they don't come to market frequently and when they do cost much more than $6mil.

Just watched Okposo's year highlights and I was actually pretty impressed. He had good fluid speed to bring the puck coast to coast, he buried a lot of garbage in front of the net w/ not shying away from physicality, but the thing I liked most... That dude has a sniper of a shot. He can put it top shelf from any where on the ice in any situation.

I welcome Okposo in our top 6 as long as it's for no more than 6Mish.

Which is why you trade for them.

Hoffman, Nash, Marleau

I'd explore them before Okposo.

The context that started this was why is everyone pitching a tent over possibly trading for Lande when Okposo only costs cap for the same or more output....

I agree with you though if any of those guys can be grabbed for a good price, do it.

"this year Okposo was 25th in pp60, Landeskog was 94th. For each of the last three years Okposo has statistically been more productive than Landeskog"

I'm not trolling but I don't watch much Avs hockey. Women lie, men lie, but #s don't lie, friend.

Numbers always lie. Well, numbers don't but the people using them do, or at least use them to fit their narrative.

He was playing top 6 minutes with that team and shouldn't have been. Also goal scoring was up in the few years he scored 20 compared to now. Not saying he was awful but I just don't think we need to get another 3rd liner
