Yeah, the Bunch of Jerks got one upped by Lee with that tweet, gold jerry, gold!

Indeed, though at least it's a one year term, but still. Apparently Two Phones offered him $5 million AAV on a 2 year term, and he turned it down to go to Chicago, odd.

I'd say Varlamov is an upgrade, if he can stay healthy, This is why Dubas has to move now on guys like Zaitsev and Kadri, get rid of all that junk before you have to sign Andersen and then Reilly.
Yzermandius19 Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) Oh shit, Avs trade Kerfoot to Leafs, no other details yet, Avs East and Leafs West deal. Edited July 1, 2019 by Yzermandius19

Colorado gets a third, Toronto gets a sixth back, Avs retain half of Barrie's $5.5 million cap hit. Kadri and a bucket o' pucks for Barrie at half price, and Kerfoot on top! Wooooooooo!

At least now when Kerfoot passes up an open shot I don't have to get pissed anymore. Edited July 1, 2019 by Yzermandius19

The Leafs need Barrie more than the Av's need Kadri, but Kadri is a big upgrade on Kerfoot, the big thing is the Avs retaining salary on Barrie, Barrie at 50% off is so much better than full pop Barrie. Wooooooo!

Wooooooo! Yeah but Barrie is a rental, contract up next year. Works out better for Leafs in the short run, better for the Avs in the long run, since we get Kadri for more than a year. Still, I'd give the Leafs the edge in the deal, but not by a whole lot, good hockey trade. Edited July 1, 2019 by Yzermandius19
Dougie93 Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 Like, Barrie at $2.75 million is a steal, and by getting him at that price, they can fit another Dman in if they can make another deal. Muzzin- Barrie is a great second pariing, those two perfectly compliment one another, at a combined 6.75 cap hit. Praise Dubeezus.

Yeah, the Avs don't need Barrie, the Leafs don't need Kadri at 3C, the Avs get a 2C for Barrie, the Leafs get a top four RHD who is a humungous upgrade on Zaitsev, for $1.75 million cheaper than Zaitsev. Plus the Leafs get a cheaper 3C to replace Kadri. Wooooooooo! Edited July 1, 2019 by Dougie93

Yeah great job on both ends, cheap contract Kadri, and super cheap rental Barrie plus Kerfoot aka Poor Man's Tanguay.

I don't think Dubeezus is done, he still needs to replace Ron Hainsey, doesn't have to be a Drew Doughty, but they still need somebody to play with Reilly, as I don't see them playing Reilly and Barrie together, or least not even strength.

Yeah, no way Barrie and Reilly are on the same pairing, they both need to be paired with a more defensively sound defensemen to maximize their utility 5-on-5. It's going to be Muzzin-Barrie on the second pairing. Edited July 1, 2019 by Yzermandius19

Dougie93 Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 Could go big game hunting and circle back on Darnell Nurse, but pretty sure Edmonton will ask for Nylander in return.

Carolina said no to Kapanen and Brown for Pesce, but they might say yes to Kapanen and Kerfoot. Kapanen and Johnsson are actually more trade-able than ever now that they are signed long term at reasonable prices.
Yzermandius19 Posted July 2, 2019 Report Posted July 2, 2019 Apparently the plan is to move Jost to the wing to play with Kadri, so sayeth Gentlemen Joe.
