even then no, that doesnt temp the Avs

Girard is an impact Dman who plays top pairing minutes and is on a sweetheart of a contract already.
A 1st and a prospect who on some lists is behind Connor Timmins doesnt temp the Avs

Avs are going for the cup, not waiting 3-4 years for guys to make an impact

Kyle Turris?

dont be dumb

i think suzuki on a long term contract is pretty close. montreal still adds a bit tho.

What would MTL give up for Oscar Klefbom?

(EDM doesn't need LHD so no Romanov please.)

He’s not French so they don’t care

Why would Montreal do this? By all counts Romanov is probably going to be better or at least similar calibre player. Then to add an unprotected 1st on top of it for a team that isn't necessarily playoff bound? Zero chance Bergevin does this. Girard is good but doesn't merit that much value

Our 2021 1st + a B prospect like Ikonen Hillis J.Olofsson

dont be dumb

Oh? So this fan base trading for girard a million times and PLD to an offer sheet is just a coincidence?

Girard is more that good. And avs have 1 arguably 2 higher rated d prospects in byram and Timmins (and yes Timmins was ranked higher than Romanov on some recent ranked list)

In what world to the avs even consider this. Girard is a legit top pairing dman/a number 2. Considering his unreal 7 real extension already, Montreal needs more than hopes and dreams for him

Its always the same CF user though. Every fan base likes homeboys too, hence why some DET fans are signing Krug and some CGY fans are signing Hall in a lot of posts.

It’s not just CF boys, it’s just a general, I will admit low blow by me, when it comes to This. Avs fans see it come out every time Montreal plays the avs, the girard trade talk on here Twitter etc spikes like crazy with the fan base

He’s good really good so I get it but he’s not coming home.

The love for hometown boys is blatant among Montreal fans but it has a lot to do with local medias. Girard is staying in Colorado but to say that we aren't trading for Klefbom because he's not Québécois is a stretch lmao.

No thanks. Girard is too important to our transition game and ranks 1st in the league in zone exit % (the only Dman over 50%).

He's also signed for 7 years at a great caphit which is hard to replace.

I said it was a low blow by me I admit ti

If MTL wants Girard, trade needs to involve a piece like Suzuki or Gallagher +

Edmonton isn't interested in futures, and that's a pretty low offer anyhow.

Drouin or Domi then

Drouin carries a $1.5M higher cap hit and doesn't seem to be providing value for the money, I doubt Edmonton would trade Klefbom for him. Domi is more likely, but what is Domi expected to sign for? We can't take on a huge amount of cap.

Rumors are he’s asking for 8M long term ... but I can’t see him getting more than 6.5M

Yikes. Even $6.5M is pushing the envelope IMO. $8M is mind-boggling for a guy with 1 good year.

Agreed, I don’t think he’ll get 6.5M but is it possible ? Yes, I wouldn’t be surprise if he gets it
