Colorado Avalanche Trade Deadline Live Thread

Today is day - the NHL trade deadline. Between now and 3pm Eastern, 30 teams around the NHL will be buying and selling assets in a frenzy of deadline deals. Some will be adding players to gear up for the final five weeks of the season (and, hopefully, the playoffs). Others will be trying to move extra players for future assets. Last year, there were 22 deals on deadline day, and the Avalanche were involved in one - Jordan Leopold for Ryan Wilson, a 2nd and Lawrence Nycholat.
How busy will the Avalanche be this year? Will they simply sell off some players on expiring contracts, such as Ruslan Salei and Marek Svatos? Will they find a taker for John-Michael Liles and his $4.2 million salary? Will the Avs go old school and surprise everyone with a splashy deadline trade? We'll know the answer to these questions over the next 6 hours.
The MHH team will be around all day today and we'll be updating this post as any Avalanche-related moves (or rumors) come across the wire. We'll also have a post up pretty quickly with analysis of any Avalanche deals.
There are a ton of resources we'll be monitoring throughout the day. Here's a few of the big ones:
TSN's Tradecenter and Sportsnet's Hockey Central are both great resources.
SBN again has a trade deadline hub with all sorts of analysis of trades as they happen.
Puck Daddy has a nice widget up that grabs the Twitter feeds of a bunch of NHL writers.
Adrian Dater will obviously be a big source of Avalanche news today, both via his blog and his Twitter feed
SportsDalaiLama has a Twitter list compiled of MHH members - another solid Twitter resource.
The moves so far (updated throughout the day)
Trade deadline: March 3rd, 1pm MST.
Avalanche Signings/Trades/Moves:
Wojtek Wolski traded to Phoenix for Forwards Peter Mueller and Kevin Porter
Ryan Stoa has been recalled from Lake Erie. Brandon Yip out 4-6 weeks
Avalanche Trade Rumors:
Wolski on the block? Said TSN's Bob McKenzie:
If Wolski were to be traded to Phoenix, Mueller and something else would obviously be involved. Phoenix has been shopping Mueller. Hard.
Wolski is by no means fire sale and not guaranteed to be moved but if u look at long-range salary implications, Avs are exploring options.
Dater on Wolski:
Bruins asked about Wolski, but Avs would want first-round pick for him. Unlikely
Dater on Svatos:
Svatos to Phoenix is a possibility.
Other news/trades/signings of interest to MHH from around the league:
Another former Avalanche defensman is on the move: Derek Morris is set to return to Phoenix. The former first round pick is being traded for a 4th round pick. How the mighty have fallen....(in all fairness, he was never that mighty).
The Penguins send Former AV Martin Skoula (traded as excess) along with prospect Luca Caputi to Toronto to join former AV Jeff "the" Finger in the press box, all for the Leaf's Alexi Ponikarovsky. Skoula then was moved by Toronto to New Jersey for a 5th round pick.
Former AV Jordan Leoprone Leopold has been traded by Florida to Pittsburgh for a 2nd round pick.
The KHL says they will try to lure Ilya Kovalchuk to the KHL this June when his NHL contract expires. Just imagine their sales pitch: "Hey Kovi, come play with us! It's cold as shit and you can be linemates with Trailor Arnason!" Or maybe, "Russia: at least it isn't New Jersey".
Yan Stastny will be joining his brother in the NW Division. Stastny has been traded to the Vancouver Canucks for Cedric Labrie.
Avs rumored to be on the trading block:
Wojtek Wolski UPDATE: traded to Phoenix
John-Michael Liles
Brett Clark
Ruslan Salei
Marek Svatos
Other notables:
Tom Preissing
Darcy Tucker
Brian Willsie
Peter Budaj
T.J. Hensick
David Koci
And when the dust settles on all of this, we'll have a pregame thread up late this afternoon.

I am not
The only thing I head was Wilson’s bizarre “Finger played Thronton and Marleau really well” when it was in fact Sauer who played well against those two. I suspect their old GM mistook Finger for Sauer.

the rumor at the time was that Finger and the Leafs agreed on a 4 year / $3.5 million deal. When the contract was faxed over, it was filled out incorrectly – 4 years AT $3.5 million, which Finger quickly signed. Have not idea if that’s true, but it sure makes me smile.

I was just thinking
and I have no idea what I want us to do today. I’d be totally happy with sitting where we are and going with this roster into the playoffs (assuming we make them =/ ) and I’m always a sucker for trades and getting new players to rip to shreds on the internet. Such a dilemma…

Agree. I don’t think the Avs need to do much. It’s be nice to get some sort of return for Clark, Svats, or Tucker, but not essential.

he might do well with another chance here, I think his original issue was some conflict with the coaching staff back then?
I wonder how much GMs pay attention to standings
when it comes to trades, I mean.
Aren’t they (or shouldn’t they) be looking more long term?
I should never be taken seriously.... Seriously!
GM’s probably don’t pay too much attention. I just think it is weird that you would trade with a team so close in the standings especially when neither team has secured a playoff spot. What if the players know something about the other team you wouldn’t want the opposition to know?
As far as looking long term, I think NJ would have an argument against that with the Kovy trade.

It is weird but both teams want to be buyers and also have some assets that other teams may want. So, I think we’ll be trading our players that fell out of favor for their players that fell out of favor. And hopefully we get the better of the deal

but he’s got some size, and the best point shot in the league, Jibble. At least tied with Weber. Our PP sucks, Souray fixes it in one go, while freeing an undersized D slot for Shattenkirk/Holos/whoever.
But he can’t play defense, nor does he care too

look, I’m not saying Souray is a defender worth shit. he isn’t. but Liles hasn’t been either, and Liles is at a position we have huge cheap depth coming up in. souray fills a huge need on the PP with his shot. I really think it makes sense, though it’s not ideal defensively.
I still like the idea of having Liles as a QB for said big point shot. I think he’s a valuable piece to retain. But I don’t know who else we could trade thats worth anything to get the point shot.
Thanks Joe...
Shattenkirk is a PP QB. play him with Souray. Quincey passes well. So does Cumiskey. All could do Liles’ job without too much loss, imo.
Liles is certainly expendable, but I just don’t want Souray. At all. Not even a little bit.

Mueller scouting report sounds A LOT like the Wolski scouting report
* Has impressive size, hand/eye coordination and reach. Is at his best with the puck on his blade. Can score goals and also set up teammates with equal aplomb. Is versatile enough to play all three forward positions.
Flaws
* Isn’t a great skater, which somewhat hinders his otherwise supreme offensive potential at the NHL level. Doesn’t utilize his physical gifts enough to his advantage. Takes some nights off.

Per Hockey Future
So grain of salt:
With a tremendous amount of ability and skill, Porter has continued to transform into on of the top two-way players in the nation. He’s a top-six forward in the collegiate level, who may be able to make an equal transition as a pro. He has good hands, great vision and a great flow to his game. He can find ways to score, but does a better job setting up his linemates. He is a confident player, makes good decisions and has a solid work ethic.

I'm trusting the braintrust on this
Sherman hasn’t done a whole lot wrong since he took the job. Wolski played his way off of center last year and played his way off the top line this year.
I really don’t know how much of a factor the money was. Fact is, we probably could have signed him for $3 million-ish next season – not unreasonable for a 60 point guy, right? I think it has more to do with the organization finally getting tired of his lack of progress. He’s in his 5th full season, he’s a very slow learner.
Yeah.

I was wondering the same thing – what’s he gonna get in arbitration? Again, I don’t think it’s a money issue (as in the Avs can’t afford to pay), I think it’s a worth issue (as in they don’t want to leave his salary up to an arbitrator and risk paying him more than they feel he’s worth. They’ll have the cap space, right?)
seems clear he’s going to ask for over 4m. perhaps 4.5m…and arbitration looks at stats mostly. if you just look at stats, he could get it.
His stats, and underlying stats, are really really good (Which is part of the reason I like him more than others).

If that’s what they’re saying (I’m not watching it), then it shows you how little the national guys know and how full of shit they are. Sacco’s no pushover.
He got pushed plenty by all 3 of his head coaches. He played with guys who many people feel were great veteran leaders (including Sakic and Lappy). He’s been pushed plenty, and there’s no magic bullet in Phoenix that’s gonna be any different than what he’s been exposed to so far in his career.

Simply put, Wolksi couldn’t play consistently with a “players coach” and couldn’t play consistently with a “tough coach.” He has the skills, but seemed to be uncoachable

not that Mueller and Porter don’t have chances, but I thought WW had way, way more value.
I have serious reservations. If Mueller comes in and gives a Yip-like effort, I will be satiated. But to see a guy with Wolski’s potential be shipped off is kind of tough.
Now that T.J. Galiardi has accepted me as his FB friend, can I officially say that I'm one of the cool kids?
He is in his 5th full season…when does “potential” become bust. not saying he’s a total bust…but a guy with his skills should be putting up 80-90 points a season, not 50-60

exactly, and are we seeing any sign of that from Wolski? I’m just playing devils advocate a bit, I really am sad to see Wolski go, but I’d rather get a guy with a little less talent but alot more effort in his place.
Mueller has potential too. It’s weird. I really think the Avs traded Wolski for Wolski so to speak.
Burgundy army now taking recruits.
from what I’ve seen of Mueller, I felt like he played with a little more edge and a little more effort that WW, less talent, but more heart (maybe). Admittedly, my exposure to Mueller is somewhat limited, it’s not like I’ve watched him 80 games a season or anything.
I said it above,
I watched him in juniors and he was all heart and effort up there. He is still a fan favorite in Everett, Wa as many fans still rock his Silvertips jersey and even his Yotes jersey. Can’t wait to start seeing the Avs jerseys!!

Maybe if Mueller sees himself getting outworked by a couple of 19-year-olds, that will embarrass him into action.

That is my thinking on this whole thing.
I am hoping that him playing on a younger team will be enough to motivate him.

No way
It’s impossible to play decent defense without effort. Flat-out impossible. Wolski plays decent defense, at worst.
Chemistry, maybe. And not using his size yeah. And yes there’s sometimes a lack of effort.
It might be a mental thing, but it’s not “effort”. I don’t buy that even a little bit.

I agree with Jibs, Wolski isn’t half as bad as some people here have made him out to be. Half the people want him to be something he isn’t. He has become the designated “asshole” of people on this site. Go look at other guys around the league that have his points and see they kind of company he is in. How many people would compare him to Shane Doan? Probably no one, yet he has the EXACT same point totals and probably for less money.

I see this as separate from effort. Look, just because he was given a big body doesn’t mean he’s going to use it that way. People and coaches have been expecting him to be a power forward his whole life. But that’s just not how his brain is wired. He just doesn’t think that way.
I am happy for him though because I think Tippett will be able to use him to the best of his abilities

this deal comes down to the fact that Lacroix/Sherman absolutely refused to overpay Wolski, and they saw his lack of effort/inconsistency clearly. that I’m happy with. this is way better than walking away from Wolski in arbitration or overpaying him for 2-3 more years.
Mueller…not thrilled about. lesser Wolski, though cheaper and (if possible) has a higher end potential and time to reach it. Porter sounds nice too, but he’d better learn to play wing.
let’s not forget Mueller was a 8th overall pick in 2006. how long did it take Stwie (another pick from that draft) to find his stride?
Agree
this is about $. It’s all it can be.
Still don’t know why they wouldn’t wait and trade him in the offseason

Liles to FLA
I haven’t heard this as a rumor but just a question. The Panthers have lost 2 D men, 1 a puck moving guy. Could we ship Liles out that way? Would they take him? Ultimately, I would love Booth but I don’t think that’s going to happen
So I go into a session about equivalent single degree of freedom systems for analysis and design of blast loaded structures and I come out to find that they’ve traded Wolski for Wolski Jr and ANOTHER FUCKING CENTER??!! I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.
The Avalanche, clearly, are down with No PP.
'Coz
the Wolski transition worked out so well.
Just sayin’.
2009-2010 Colorado Avalanche - On the upside, there's only 20 more (regular season) games of Darcy Tucker left!
This is what I’m most pissed about. I know people are unhappy with Wolski (even though I disagree) but to trade him for another center is asinine. I still think half of Wolski’s problems is that he has been forced to play LW when he has spent most of his career as a center. And no I don’t think last season’s 3 months of Wolski playing center in the TI4T campaign was enough of a sample of his abilities at center.
The Avs are week in LW and trading away your best LW without getting another LW in return is plain idiotic.
This trade is going to bite this team in the ass.

Wonder if Liles and/or Svatos can rebound for the rest of the year if they are not traded. That is assuming they are not healthy scratches every game.

Svatos can’t be on this team by the end of the day. I am by no means a Liles guy, but he brings WAY more to the table at this point than Svatos…who brings NOTHING

Now that Wolski is gone, it’s good for all of us to look forward. We are still in rebuild mode technically. We did get younger. We got a player who’s only 21 years old but highly rated once and what looks like another potential Galiardi. Right now it doesn’t look like a good trade at all, but thinking long-term there are many ways we could win this.
I just wish we could flip some players that needed to be moved right now, rather than a scoring forward that is still contributing.
I spent more effort eating a pudding than Tyler Arnason skated last year.
if you were a GM
what would you be willing to give up to get Svatos, Tucker, Liles, or Clark, and the contracts that go with those players? What are the Avs wanting in return for those players?
Unfortunately, sometimes one man’s trash is, well, another man’s trash too.
Colorado Avalanche: Aiming for Magic #31 - 31 points in 28 games. 10 points in 8 games; 21 points to go!
In all honesty, NOT moving Svatos, Tucker, or Clark doesn’t hurt us much because their contracts will be up this summer. Of course I would like to see us trade for prospects/pics, but its not neccessary. For the people that we are going to re-sign over the summer, even holding in reserve the money that we will have to spend on the Kids down the line, we can afford to buy missing pieces of the puzzle and not have to trade for them.
Thanks Joe...
I hear what you're saying, but..
I think that the calculus is different for Clark, Tucker & Svats than for Liles. All 3 of the former have contracts expiring at the end of the year, so the cap impact is minimal at best. In truth, I’d be surprised to see Tucker or Svats fetch much more than a 2nd (though I’d take less) or prospect x. Clark, as a shotblocker, has more value, but not by a lot.
Liles brings a good deal to the table, but his cap hit is pretty rough. I could see something not go through for that reason.

wolski trade
is a downgrade in the short term, but I think will look like a solid trade in 2 years. Wolski is a decent player with inflated stats who will command more money than he is worth. We get two solid younger players and save money. Modern NHL is all about efficiency and Wolski will be an inefficient use of cap space for years to come, whereas the two new guys plus cap space will prove useful I think. Definitely a downgrade for this season, but I think puts the team in much better position for some cup runs in the coming 5 years.
It sure would be nice to see a spare D-man swapped for an LW or some other forward though for sure. No point in having extra Dmen like the avs have, hopefully one of these late trades will be that.
yes
and think about the AVS down the middle NOW: SoS, Dutchie, Radar, Porter. That is perfection down the middle.
But who is out top LW now?? Galiardi?! I love the kid, but he was originally a Centerman. We suck at LW.

short term downgrade
This is why I think this is a definite short term downgrade. But it gives the team more younger, cheaper talent that can be rearranged and traded later and more cap room to pursue other LWs. The positional imbalance can be fixed in the coming year or two, but makes the team less competitive now.
Wolski is a decent player with inflated stats who will command more money than he is worth. We get two solid younger players and save money.
Inflated stats? Are you serious?
06-07 50pts
07-08 48pts
08-09 42pts
09-10 47pts so far….
He doing exactly what he has done since he came into the league. It’s not like he’s played on a line with Joe Sakic and Peter Forsberg his whole career. For what he puts on the board year in and year out, compared to the rest of the league he is not overpaid and should be getting about what he is. Now 5-6mil would be an overpayment.

The Avs needed goal scoring to make any noise in the playoffs, they didn’t get it.
Long term this may help the team, but they needed to think about Short term too. Not making the playoffs this season would be a disaster, especially if they actually want to sell tickets next season. The trades today put them in danger of that.

There’s a lot of variables at play here, and a couple of them were in this neighborhood: 1.) Front office didn’t expect to be in the playoff race this year and 2.) Wolski has probably been identified as someone who will want more money than a QO would give him.
Brandon Yip’s injury probably made this all look a lot more disorganized than it was meant to, and I don’t wonder if he might have been a piece of some planned trade or salary dump.
I doubt the front office expects us to go far in the playoffs, but I’ll agree that getting there is now is jeopardy.

So here's a thought
Sherman wanted to change the front lines, he did.
Maybe he realizes that it’s unlikely this team this year will win the cup, though they might. But it is very likely next year we will be a power house. He decides to keep 8 d, scratch 2. In the off season he can use those D as trade bait or have the leave naturally. It protects against injury and gives him flexibility to create his better team in the summer. I like it.

I heard Yelle was traded a couple hours ago, and then nothing, been hoping since then
I adore this trade. He’s cheap and a UFA at the end of the year and brings some maturity, depth, experience, and not Darcy Tukcer to the team.
Plus, you know, he’s Stephane Yelle.

He can actually win a face off! This will help on the PK and PP!

Anybody know who this “Cedric Lalonde-McNicoll” guy is that we traded for Yelle? Not that I care, but Mike’s asking.
The Avs signed him out of the Q last summer
He’s really small but put up a ton of points in his last junior year.

Reed From HF
Reed is a goal scorer. Playing on a bad team in junior, Reed was a standout on the ice, even though he had to fight through extra attention from opposing forwards. His prowess in the offensive zone is noted, as is his strength on his skates, and his nose for the puck. However defensive deficiencies can’t be denied and Reed doesn’t always make a beeline for his own zone. That’s a part of his game that will definitely have to be addressed to progress to the next level.

from what i’ve been reading apparently Mueller got nailed last year and received a concussion, and has been a little shy of the boards, which would explain his lack of production. maybe being somewhere that he knows his teammates will stick up for him may rehab that?
maybe an internet pipe froze and burst

article worth reading on Mueller:
http://www.fiveforhowling.com/2010/1/15/1253856/the-curious-case-of-peter-mueller
tl;dr: Mueller was on pace for ~20g/50p last year as well, but got a nasaty concussion and was rushed back. confidence busted, hasn’t gotten much top 6 time this year. playing mostly with lang, averaging 13 min a night.
Makes me slightly more hopeful that he just didn’t lose his way, there was a reason. Downside is that concussions are scary.
Sherman on The Fan right now
He’s hoping a change of scenery will get Mueller back to where he was his rookie year. The Yip situation also really came into play as far as getting Porter.
