we already dealt Miller's #1 best friend in Gaustad... if we let Kaleta go.. I think Miller would tear the lockerroom apart in rage.

miller for holtby and johansson

Throw in one of their 1sts and id do that deal.

Gerbe is like a hampster on a wheel.... he tries like hell and is always running around but just never gets anywhere. For all the effort and fire he brings the results are minimal at best. He is a great kid and plays with his heart but at the end of the day he just doesn't produce anything other than sweat,

St. Loius didn't hit his stride until year 5. Gerbe has the tools to be his clone. My guess is that Calgary would like to have that move back.

Lindback and Colin Wilson?

Lindback and Colin Smith?

Do you mean Colin wilson or Craig Smith?

i think both Holtby and Johanssons ceilings are higher than smith and lindback but they just aren't in the NHL much yet..

I would love to see Lucic try to run Lindback... Lindback is f'n 6'6!!!

So people assume that Gerbe will be a failure because of his size even though there is evidence to the contrary, but assume Myers will be the next hockey god because if his size, based on nearly the amount of evidence.

Am I getting this wrong?

Imo neither are ever going to be the players we want them to be.

Yes Sakic would be a major form of concern for teams..

Its Too risky!!?? We gave Leino 10M for what he did in the playoffs alone.

Risky is not a term that Pegs is scared of.

Roy, Adam, pick will land Stastny.

Avs have 41M in cap space with Stastny on the books. They are in terrific shape.
- JVince117

Why compound Leino's bad contract with another one?!
Just bc the Leino contract is bad, doesn't mean the stastny contract is good
But at least we didn't give up anything for leino

i think gerbe isn't going to be great.. i never said he would be a failure and i never said it had anything to do with his size. He runs around like a chicken with its head cut off and never produces.. he shots the puck at the goalies chest all the time.

As for Myers i am yet to see anything out of him that makes me think he is going to be the next great thing. maybe other people think he will be great but i don't see it yet.

Whats wrong with the evidence I used. You're trying to make it sound like Stastny isnt worth 6.6M yet we have a player on our team making 7.14M thats contributing less.

Stastny is a quality center and he can be a true #1. I have no doubts that if Stastny played on a line with Vanek and Pommer he would excel. Stastny is available. The Avalanche have a lot of depth at the C position coming through their pipelines, especially with that trade they just pulled with SJ getting Sgarbossa who leads the OHL this year. When the Stewart for Johnson trade was made last year out of the blue Stastny's dad even talked about how it set the team back and they were unhappy.
- theblueandgold

The evidence u used was of another player who doesn't perform up to his contract
Why don't u try comparing stastny's deal to those of players who do produce to the point where their contract is reasonable?

Imo neither are ever going to be the players we want them to be.
- dadeadhead

I can agree with that. I might add that they might never be the players we NEED them to be.

Gerbe makes some nice defensive plays and he is money in the shootout, but we need guys with more offensive production. He just isn't cutting it.

Greiss, Clowe and Thorton for Miller, Sekera, Gerbe, Brennan and a first

lines

Vanek, Thorton, Pommer
Clowe, Coho, Staff
Leino, Ennis, Foligno
who cares, who cares and who cares

I can agree with that. I might add that they might never be the players we NEED them to be.

Unfortunately I agree.


I hope we're wrong.

St. Louis needed Lacavier, even then it didn't click for a few years
