Absolutely massive three team deal

Well I’d personally much rather just keep barrie for that right side rather than give up two arms and a leg to replace him with a lefty playing his offside.

Yeah but even with girard playing on his off side he is a million times better than barrier when it comes to how good he is and his contract

That trade for Girard is the equivelant of three first round draft picks, plus samorukov (a third round pick) and another third round pick....

That is literally a bigger return than Buff got for eichel....

For a fringe #2 more likely a #3 defenseman??? that's a Chiarelli type of move

It's 2 firsts with bourgault still being a question mark, Yams is not first round value he is an amazing middle 6 guy but nobody is giving a first for him. Also not only is girard a number 2 dman but half his value comes from his amazing contract (which is signed long term btw ) the fact that he's only 5 mil is super valuable

The only reason Bourgault is a question mark is because he's 19 and was just drafted.... any player just drafted is still a "question mark". And is it really that amazing of a contract??
Girard has .43 points/game this year, comparable to Pionk (5.8 mil), Parako (5.5 mil), Shattenkirk (3.9 mil), Mathison (4.8 mil), and Sanheim (4.8 mil)...

He's definitely on a good reasonable contract but don't think he has done enough to have an "amazing contract" at 5 million
