Colorado decline, not even close.

That might get the avs to hang up faster than the speed of light

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

Girard is more valuable to Colorado right now than Byram.

He's only 21 and is a already a No.2 Dman, and our top shutdown guy (don't let his size fool you).

Moreover, his $5m x 7 year contract hasn't even started and is already looking like one of the best contracts in the league, meaning that his value is extremely high.

Needless to say that package of garbage doesn't even come close.

And then leaving Romanov as a scratch, would love to see habs ruin another player's development

If you want to start a legitimate conversation based around fair value try an offer with Romanov + Caufield. But even then Colorado very likely passes, as they are contenders and not looking to rebuild.

Umm. The starting point would be with one of them, not both

perhaps you're not familiar of the myth of victor mete.

If the Kings' pick dropped to number 6 overall, we'd offer it plus Mike Anderson.

You're probably right. But neither of them has played a single NHL game. The plus on either of them would need to be fairly substantial.

22*

Oooooooof

Hahaha this is embarrassing

Girard

Fleury Struble 2nd 2021 & 2nd 2022

Ian Cole
Calvert
2021 2nd round pick (COL)
2022 2nd round pick (COL)

2020 4th round pick (COL)

Congrats for making the 2nd most embarrassing girard trade on this site tonight

Avs are not selling off a young top flight dman signed to already a steal of a deal for futures

Explain how a cup contender and one of top team in the leagues trading a core player for a lackluster futures package is a good trade

The floor is yours

You didn’t like the Criticism so Now you’re throwing a temper
Tantrum online with your response and resulting in insults and name calling

You’re a Sensitive one

Also when everyone is criticizing the OP trades with the same logic I just mentioned to you and all you do is just post the same trade structure that is behind Ripped on, what did you think would Happen . Read the room

Easy no for COL

The Avs are looking good on left side D even without Girard. If i was Sakic i would take that deal and additional capspace.

Let's wait for Byram to actually play an NHL game before making such claims...

I like Graves and Zadorov on the left side. Assuming Byram at worst becomes a serviceable NHL defense-men, the left side is more than competent. The trade adds Romanov. Id say its a fair bet given there projected potential at least one of the two (Byram and Romanov) become a solid top 4 defenseman at worst.

If we trade Girard and Byram doesn't become a top 4 LHD then we would lack a 1 LHD and arguably a 2 LHD as well depending on how high you value Graves. Graves is top 4 quality, but he's more of a complimentary Dman rather than someone who anchors his own pair.

After spending over a decade trying to build a solid D it would be insane to give that up now.

If you didn't have a bona fide number 1 D in Makar i would tend to agree with this assessment. I know its not good to count your chickens before they hatch but adding Romanov to the mix along with Byram i would be confident in the left side. Honestly if you had Zadorov, Graves, Byram and Romanov i would be worried about not having enough ice-time to go around for all of them and having to make a trade. Adding Caulfield and the addtional capspace for a few years that acquiring two players who will be on entry level deals for another 3 years will grant seems worth it. As long as the cap-space is used intelligently. i wouldn't say declining the trade and sticking with Girard would be a huge blunder or anything. It would be more than fine sticking with Girard, but i think it wouldn't be unreasonable to Sakic to accept the trade.
