Description
IMO That is too much for Duchene and you won't get Drouin for that....now that we got the copy and post response to some of these trades lets move on the logic behind them. These trades are based on some convos from opposing fan bases who said they wouldnt mind the deal so that is the basis of them.

Trade 1...Duchene. One of the latest 30 thoughts mentions Hanifin would be the most likely of the Canes Dman to move for a Top 6 Fwd. Both Canes and Avs have talked Duchene at the deadline so they revisit the trade. Canes are also apparently looking to add youth in net so Pickard is sent along as well.

Trade 2. Swap rights of 2 players who probably won't sign with their clubs.

Trade 3. Tampa is looking for a Top 4 Dman but still cap space to sign their RFAs. McKenzie hinted that Drouin would be the least likely to sign or give Tampa a hometown contract since there is still potential tension there. Avs take back Garrison to help out the Lightning and get MacK and Drouin back together (who signs a nice little contract bc hes happy to be back with MacK and these 2 teams talked Drouin trade 2 years ago)

Trade 4. Vegas claim but it could be Grigo, Soderberg, or Colborne as well, but I just threw one of them out there really doesnt matter.

The whole logic behind these moves is not to be good next year but to get good young pieces in place to be better equipped to be a real team down the line. They are still going to be bad next season but will have a way better future in place

    Nestrasil would be a nice side piece for COL. He's a quality defensive minded forward in my opinion. Every teams needs to have a shutdown line!

    yeah that was my thought. Since Avs are taking Lack off their hands and giving up Pickard that a little sweetner needed to be added. Not some crazy 1st round pick thing or a prime prospect but a respectable 3rd line/depth guy that fits the Avs vision going forward

    Drouin and Garrison would net Tampa far better then Tyson Barrie more like Erik Johnson at the very least.

    As a Sabres fan I love the idea of Butcher for Petersen, it makes since. Lehner is Murray's guy so Petersen is blocked. Butcher could be in Sabres top 6 right now.

    Either or, doesn't really matter.
