As much as I like the idea of Cirelli on the Avs, I don't give up Newhook for him. I would be willing to offer some package of Kaut or Bowers and good picks, but it shouldn't exceed the offer sheet compensation by much. If Tampa declines, then try the offer sheet. Really the trade is just for diplomacy.
I have no idea how attached to TB Cirelli is. Maybe there is no chance. I'd like to think he considers it from Colorado though, as the Avs can afford to pay him more and give him a chance to win over the foreseeable future. While the Bolts are busy trying to jettison players to make the cap work, the Avs will be looking to add. I can see a good offer being something Cirelli at least has to think hard about.
