Description
Just a few little ideas I've been toying with, no idea if they'd fly or how the values look. Interested to hear people's thoughts.
Trades
1.
COL
  1. Thompson, Logan
Additional Details:
Colorado gets a useful looking #3 goalie who is waivers exempt. An unlikely trade as this is probably why Vegas signed him but the pick might persuade them.
VGK
  1. Miska, Hunter
  2. 2022 5th round pick (COL)
Additional Details:
Vegas gets a goalie back into their system and a low pick for an undrafted but useful looking goalie.
2.
COL
  1. Burroughs, Kyle
  2. 2022 3rd round pick (WPG)
Additional Details:
I liked what I saw of Burroughs in his short stint in Colorado and he'd be a useful depth D. Jost could maybe still fetch a second from some teams so a third and Burroughs seems fair value, and the Avs get move some cap ready for the third trade.
VAN
  1. Jost, Tyson
Additional Details:
Personally I like Jost, but it's possible the Avs need to think about moving on from him. The Canucks get a guy who is simply going to love playing in his hometown (born in Alberta but grew up in BC), and can definitely help their bottom 6.
3.
COL
  1. Faksa, Radek
Additional Details:
Main consideration with Faksa is face offs. It's one area the Avs have been relatively weak and Faksa should seriously help there,
DAL
  1. 2022 3rd round pick (COL)
Additional Details:
Not concerned if it's the Winnipeg pick or Colorado's own, but a third is probably as high as Dallas would likely get for Faksa, maybe a second similar to Jost. Dallas fans seemed pretty down on him earlier this season.

I think there may be better options than Burroughs - I wasn't high on him. Faksa is interesting but I can't see Dallas helping the Avs unless they're well out of the playoff race. Also, you're over the cap.

like the miska/thompson trade but i think vegas just holds their guy

don't like the jost trade at all.

im ok with faska but i'm not sure i'd do that trade. he had a good playoffs against the avs but his contract is a little iffy. depends on what else is out there.

Can't see Dallas unloading Faksa for anything less than a 2nd.

Yeah the cap isn't really an issue as that amount should easily be acquired by the TDL I would hope, and you wouldn't make the trades until that point. Probably should have noted that up top. Agreed on the divisional rivals 'helping each other out', and their own position. The Vancouver trade wasn't so much about acquiring Burroughs, and I wouldn't say I was high on him, just that he'd be useful. That was more about moving on from Jost with some value, finding a decent fit for him and doing him a solid, and making space for Faksa.
