Without knowing the extend of Landy's injury, if I'm Sakic, I look at the fact that the season is only a dozen games old and I sit back and wait it out. The asking price for Hall will be high, the Avs' second through fourth lines are solid and the defense plus goaltending is solid. Assuming they do trade for someone like Hall as a knee-jerk reaction to two thirds of the top line being out, where would you put Hall once Landy and Mikko come back? Would you really want Taylor Hall on this team long-term with likely having to part ways with a top prospect or high draft pick? I wouldn't. I'd ride it out if I was Sakic and that's what I expect him to do.

We were discussing this after my game last sat when just miko was out. Hall and miko and mack would be the best line hockey has ever seen possibly.
But to answer it, I think the only logical thing would be to toronto Kadri again. Hall centers the 2nd line and Nazim centers the 3rd, which would make us seriously one of the deepest teams out there. It would be insane, like when the avs loaded up back in the 90s.
I am not saying we should do this and Kadri would hate it I am sure, but I think thats the only solution.
PS- Miko is signed- how are we doing cap wise? ( I have not looked )
The Plan at the moment:
Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).
Players I want:
Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell
Going to the game tomorrow night with the fam.
