move

Landy, Johnson, Iggy apparently had issues with ROR, not sure why or what about, but that happens on every team, not all 23 guys are best friends.

Dutch is a very humble and honest guy, hes not the one to have agendas in his interviews, guy just works his butt off, plays country music and fishes.

Dater, Chambers, and Frei are all terrible sources when covering the Avs, they dont get along with the Public Media department of the Avs and love to try to throw dirt back at them

Sounds like Mike Harrington here.

I heard rumours thats who initially the were asking for, but Sabres didnt want to budge,

Well thank the lord, I liked Zads but Risto is a man child.

speaking of trades:
Johnson: who could even even go to? Pen? Habs? ..?

my favorite is when Avs released their own news in a Press Release, they threw a hissy fit about how they dont use local media as a platform as news.

So guys who are paid to cover the team, are made that the team doesnt go out of their way to contact them giving them news to report?

They are the worst

The breakdown of the talks that were reported were Avs were asking Risto and Compher, Sabres would move Zads over Risto (non starter for them). Avs wanted more so Grigs was added

Getting pretty redundant at this point. The trade gets revisited daily and frankly im sick of hearing the same things about it

I think this trade get less talk tbh .. The Kane deal is everyday

Compher certainly is playing well this year.

The Lehner deal is every 14 seconds.

I could see 6 or 7 teams come deadline time

Maybe it gets less talk but its the same discussion every time.

with a side of lehner

Compher certainly is playing well this year.
- kingcong39

I could see him as the second line glue, did not like seeing him moved, would rather it have been bailey or hurley

Compher certainly is playing well this year.
- kingcong39

Hes having a great year. over a point a game and a plus 24

Compher certainly is playing well this year.
- kingcong39

Could easily see him on the roster next season, 3rd line with Comeau and Iggy (if he isnt traded)

I could see 6 or 7 teams come deadline time

I'm less hopeful. I don't see many teams that would think that's a huge upgrade. Less than a full season of solid play. I think he's gone at the deadline but I think we get a 4th or lower back.

I thought I read that the Avs wanted Bailey over Compher and that was the final sticking pointed. I could swear that the first rumors of the trade had Bailey.

Fun fact

He and Quick share the same even strength save percentage over the last 4 years.

I'm just thankful we didn't give up Risto. I think we are gonna miss Compher though.

of all the prospects we gave up over the last few yrs, i think the one that might bite us is Brendan Lemieux.

35 pts in 23 OHL games so far

Nah, and neither will Compher. Bottom 6 guys are everywhere. It's nice to have a little cache of them, but they aren't nearly as hard to find as top 6.
