Description

Compher just doesn't have a place in Colorado any longer. He's good enough to thrive elsewhere though, and Chicago would be a really good fit (imo). I know the Hawks are currently in the playoff hunt, but it's highly doubtful they are a true Cup contender this year. As such, I think moving Soderberg for longer term assets makes sense.

Avs will probably overpay due to Compher making about $1M more than he probably should, but the future cap flexibility would be big. Soderberg is also a known commodity and would fit in just fine for a year.

Staal and Haula would be far better options IMO. That and you wouldn't have to overpay.

They would probably need to overpay in any situation where Compher is included due to his salary.

I would be fine with the other options. Those have been done a fair number of times though, so I'm trying something different.

Agreed in needing to pay to get rid of him, but I doubt it's all that likely right now. I think Friedman posted the other day that teams aren't really willing to take on money or term right now. Far more likely that a move happens over the summer. Still think it's possible that Seattle takes a run at him

It has also been said that Chicago is willing to take salary. I would jump on it now (if possible) before that dries up. LOC has been great, and Jost has been fine at 3C. This is also a good move for Compher, as it provides him a nice landing spot. I would feel a little bad sending him to Buffalo, lol.

Shouldn't your most important move be to find a back-up goalie?
