Description

Its a pretty big trade to make in-season but imo it covers all of the Avs needs now and also gives them some security at 2C for 2 more seasons after this

Showing lines when 100% healthy

Trades

COL

Gourde, Yanni
Soucy, Carson ($1,375,000 retained)
2023 2nd round pick (SEA)

SEA

Girard, Samuel
2023 1st round pick (COL)

Additional Details:

Based on @Db1899's trade but I added some retention on Soucy to balance out the cap better for this season

If Seattle is going to make a playoff push, I can't see them making this deal. You have them trading two good regulars for one. Now Gourde trade in the summer could be a possibility.

I fear AV's fans will blast you on this. But I agree with you its makes sense in terms of roster needs.

My only concern is the Cap will be very tight.

Thats probably true, a trade this size is better suited for the offseason anyway

They probably will but its pretty clearly an upgrade imo. Gourde > Girard right now and Soucy > nothing. The only downside is the Avs are sending away futures which would be nice to have as ELCs in the coming years. I kinda dont mind that though with a big cap increase projected a couple years from now. Ideally Id like to send the 2024 pick instead of 2023 but I just left the pieces the same as in @Db1899 's AGM
