Quoting: Xqb15
The Avs aren’t trading Graves AND Timmins much less in the same deal.
if it got them a Center and a LD they could use today for a 1st year prospect and a top RD Junior Prospect
Well they'd be bad business men
This isnt Makar , and although Timmons is good
he's not pass on a 24 year old 70 point top 6 Center
you'd be a bad GM if you did
its not like trading for Drouin where he still hadnt figured his **** out and was struggling but still got a D better then both in this Deal.
This is a real forward who's thriving and if not for Suzuki's amazing play especially at Center to be the best Rookie since Gallagher we've produced
Then there is no way we move Domi out
Issue is that its become Domi or Danault
Danault long term fits our needs better as we can leave him where he's at until Suzuki or KK is ready
After that he's the ideal 3rd line shutdown Center while playing PP2 and PK1 averaging 17-19 minutes a night still in our system (1st and 3rd is a difference of 2 shifts on average)
Its like people wipe their asses with established NHL players and give no craps about how much all Centers in the past 5 years have gotten .
Even that POS Hanzal coming off injury got a kings ransom . Heck Plekanec's got us a 2nd and 2 prospects in his worst season since he was a rookie
D are great when established but its very rare a team trades them for a kings ransom
Look at what was traded for Sergachev and D'angelo for example
