Initial Creation Date: Sep. 20, 2020

Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Avs were interested in Hjalmarsson, believe they want an expiring contract due to Seattle. As it stands, Colorado cannot protect all four of Makar, Graves, Girard, Johnson. Johnson is odd man out since he has a NMC, if he will not waive to be exposed then they will lose one of the other three.

Bro, Johnson is a GREAT shutdown d-man and yes his contract with that NMC will hurt if they lose Graves or Zadorov, but Hjalmarsson at his age has clearly lost a step and is a downgrade from Johnson. He's been relegated to the 3rd pair on the Yotes, and I believe at this point he isn't even better than Zadorov & Cole.

I don’t know what to tell you but if they’re interested in Hjalmarsson and Murray, then EJ has to move. Johnson is pretty good and I like him better than Hjalmarsson there, but it is what it is. I’m going based off of that. I can see something along these lines happening, especially since they wanted to improve their PK. Hjalmarsson, Grabner, forward like Janmark certainly does that. Avs can’t afford to lose Graves at this point too

I don’t know what the “GREAT shutdown dman” is in reference to. Maybe you misread my post? I said Hjalmarsson isn’t that bad (Definitely better than Cole and Zadorov defensively) and never said anything bad about EJ.

I know. I’m saying you wrote it like I was trying to say Hjalmarsson > EJ or that EJ isn’t good. I’m aware how good he is. I think they should keep him

I’m just going based off those rumors

I wouldn't trade Johnson for Hammer. Better to send them Cole or Z. Plus, AZ would be taking on money in such a deal and they are looking to shed salary.

Murray hasn't played well and has been injured a lot since he won those two Cups. Classic case of overpaying for past performance.

Nah I meant it as a downgrade not a straight one for one.

I appreciate the Murray trade because it is appropriate value while everyone else on here acts like Murray will just be given a way. But the Johnson trade is very interesting to me. People seem to be disagreeing with the value because EJ is definitely a better player than Hjalmarsson now, but the expansion angle makes it a much more valuable trade to Colorado. The risk of losing Girard or Graves (or having to pay Seattle to not take them) plus the fact you're getting a good player in Hjalmarsson makes that trade very worth it to me, and is a pretty nuance take on the types of trades we should expect to see this offseason.

Johnson has 3 x $6,000,000 left on his deal and he's 32 years old. Those are the kind of players that the Coyote ownership are trying to shed not take on. No way is Arizona taking Johnson they want a young roster 24 and under.
