The Colorado Avalanche haven't been talking to Jones about extending his contract.
There's at least one member of the Colorado Avalanche that knows that he could be on the move.
Adrian Dater of the Denver Post reports that winger David Jones, who has scored 10 goals after scoring 27 last season, is a prime candidate to be traded.
Jones will be an unrestricted free agent this summer, and he and the club have not had any discussions about a contract extension.
The Fourth Period believes that the Avs are shopping a defenseman.
The leading candidates are rumored to be pending unrestricted free agent Shane O`Brien and Kyle Quincey, although the latter is expected to bring the most in return.
Quincey, who is currently earning $3.13 million and is slated for restricted free agency this summer, has collected four goals and 18 assists for 22 points in 48 games this season.

Dear ladies, and puck bunnies everywhere…can we not do this?
Thank you
Goalie coach? We don't need no stinking goalie coach!
I mean, there is nothing wrong with loving O’Reilly. But that is NOT the way to show it.

you are correct. tits would be the preferred method there

Would that make the one on the left Stachi?
Datsyuk may have done it first, but he learned it from Peter Forsberg.
Thanks for everything Foppa!

I hope the one in the middle never has to see this picture. I mean, that can’t be a “normal” facial expression for her. It’s just one of those crazy micro expressions that happen when you yell things like: “The baby is yours!” or “I want to take you to Sizzler!”

Keep Quincey and O'Brien
They are both in my fantasy land team for next year! WTF?
Parise – Stastny – Hejduk/Jones/Hishon
Semin – Duchene – Mueller
Landy – O’Reilly – Ruutu/UFA
Galiardi – McClement – Winnik
Johnson – Suter
Quincey – O’Byrne/Wilson
O’Brien – Barrie/Elliott
Trade Hejda for.. yeah what ever. Trade Jones and one of Wilson/O’Byrne!
Cap hit next year.. 67.1M That’s adding 7,6,5 and 4 million plus raises and resigning UFA/RFAs. The cap only needs to go up by 2.8 million for that to be possible CMON we can do it. =)
Yeah I know I am up way to early and probably a little crazy… so what it’s fun to dream about how dominant that could be.
Hejda has been playing well. Quincey was pretty damn good early, but has left a lot to be desired lately. SOB is a perfect addition to a team looking to make a Cup run.
Goalie coach? We don't need no stinking goalie coach!
My worry about trading O’Brien is that it makes the Avs look like a sign and trade team.
A man who stole my whisky used the defense that no one could resist a bottle of Scotch. I had no choice but to testify on his behalf.
Trading SOB only makes sense for the Avs if they are officially out of playoff contention at the deadline. Otherwise, he seems like the best “rental” on the Avs
Goalie coach? We don't need no stinking goalie coach!
I guess that’s true. I am not even sure why you trade him though. I think he’s needed on this team, but, then again, With Hejda, Wilson, Quincey, and Johnson there O’Brien prevents one of the younger guys from starting next year.

Is the NHL twitter account trolling Osgood?
DYK? Over the last 3 seasons @DetroitRedWings are 106-44-18 when Howard starts, but 20-22-8 when a backup (Osgood, Conklin or MacDonald) do.

Can somebody tell me the last free agent with whom the Avs spoke during the season?

Arnason?

It is on display in a minor league somewhere. To tell the truth he is the most humble guy in the world. You couldn’t tell he is fiery hockey player by reading his face.

I could be wrong, but wasn’t the Avs’ offer made prior to the season and Andy decided to wait, hoping to get a better offer in-season, which never came?
That’s my recollection, though it may be flawed.

mine was that they were talking midseason but they broke off. perhaps I’m wrong though

I made the groundless assertion first and by the laws of logic am therefore correct.

Looks like they’re offically announcing the Leafs vs. WIngs winter classic tomorrow. I’m glad it’s not Wings vs. Avs, because when the Avs finally do get to be in a winter classic, I want it to be in Denver.

But if they get one, doesn’t mean they have a good shot at getting another? Away and home, right?

*The Avalanche look to be the leading candidate to grab Andrei Kostitisyn out of Montreal. The Panthers are also interested.
This is great. Now that it’s in the open, it definitely won’t happen, which I’m perfectly OK with.

Just my opinion, but if we keep playing like shit, move stas, Quincey and jones (not O’Brien). Try and get something back that rocks and make up (somewhat) for the piece of dogshit trade for varly. Sacco probably won’t survive either way and we’re young enough to take another dip in the draft (if we have any picks + FA.. we have the cash).
If we’re in it… Get something really good for stas/Quincey and evaluate jones accordingly. Who the fuck knows?? As always it’s a fucked up year with fucked up decisions to make.
Not oppossed to Stewart again, but a bigger hitter with years attached would be nice/again, love to retrieve one of those picks for varly! Just stings a bunch because I don’t live in Estes anymore and ive watched varly here in PA (fuckin great— should have got Holtby though). Hope I’m wrong, but we’ll see. Sorry, just plowed through a bunch of Dale’s pale ale.. Colorado beers are at a premium in PA, still waiting on the arrival of Fat Tire.

I really don’t understand the push to move Quincey. who exactly would repalce him? The guy is a solid #2/#2 type that plays well in any situation. Those guys don’t grow on trees. There’s no one in UFA to replace him!
Totally agree. Just looking for a bigger return?? Kinda grasping at straws.. Guess I’m just really pissed about the R.O.I. In the trade for Varly. Quincey was nice in the Smith trade, he’s played well, my wife loves him. Have to admit, my kid plays hockey locally and we do the “Hershey bears” thing and Varly rocks, his playoffs with the caps a couple years ago was awesome; I totally see why they went for him, but (the cost!).
I fuckin truly hope he just comes out next start and kills it and never sits again. I think he’s that good, but I’m tired of living in the past. There will be no Roy again. We’re in this together all over the continent.

No disrespect, but
I really think you’re wring. Varly was a first round pick. Nothing in his career to date has done much to knock the shine off of that pick. Therefore, a first round pick was necessary to acquire him. The second round in the subsequent season was what was necessary to beat the other bidders. Not sure why everybody thinks this cost is so high. You wanna be upset about his inconsistent play or you don’t agree that this was the season to make that deal because the rebuild isn’t over? That’s fine. But harping on the cost is one of the weaker arguments in my opinion.
If we don't get our sauce, we ain't watching the game!
I think that the main problem is that we have such a big logjam on D and still have some great prospects on the way. I really do like Quincey but he’d get a much much better return in a trade than a guy like Wilson or SOB.
Without rambling any further, that’s my point exactly. Love my team, struggle with what’s happened/happening.

I don’t even see why we should be obligated to make a trade. I saw in the Hawks game when Jones scored, he seemed a bit muted, I thought at the time, that he knows he’s out of here. The fact that they haven’t discussed an extension just reinforces that.
