Donskoi's going to slot in on your 2nd/3rd line on the wing and he'll add some goals, if you've got someone to make them he'll get more but he'll find a way to grind out some dirty ones himself too. Only reason for the Avs to let him go really is balancing the side a bit better and the need for a #3C, plus the cap space helps of course. Graves will majorly help solidify your sieve corps......sorry, I mean D corps. Tierney helps the Avs with a position of need and the picks balance it nicely.

Evidently Ottawa has more problems than I initially thought haha
Wasn't DJ smith the guy that wanted to play 2 forwards and 3 D? He may need to consider it at this point

On the surface I like it, would have to think more on how it effects the Avs d depth for this year.

Yeah I think this is a trade that would work for Colorado.

Donskoi continues to put up points but he's not really a good fit on this team style wise. He would give Ottawa something they need in a big way though, which is a forward that can chip in with some points. He can score in spurts and would do reasonably well on Ottawa's top 2 lines I would imagine.

Avs would lose a Dman which would be a loss, but the 2nd recouped in the trade could go towards a LHD deadline rental. The cap savings for Colorado in this trade also present an opportunity, both in the short term and long term.

With Tierney that 3rd line would be much better balanced:

Landeskog ---- Mackinnon --- Rantanen
Saad ----------------- Kadri ------- Burakovsky
Nichuskin -------- Tierney ------ Compher
O'Connor ----------- Jost --------- Sherwood/Kaut

Toews -- Makar
Byram -- Girard
Timmins - Johnson

One issue with moving Graves is that we'd lack a Dman to expose in the Expansion Draft, unless of course EJ waives. So we'd definitely have to acquire a Dman by the deadline, or pre-Expansion. Might even consider including Joshua Brown in this trade for that purpose, though it would be best to acquire him once he has the required number of NHL games to meet the exposure criteria.

I agree, it does strike me as being a fair trade at first glance. But it makes you think, because there's so many elements involved in how it fits in the roster and plans going forward.

Apart from fixing the 3C issue and the 2nd round pick there's obviously a benefit in getting a significant amount of cap flexibility next season. But in the short term moving 2 players out for 1 would reduce our depth at a time when we're already down two forwards to long term injuries (Calvert and Bellemare).

Avs would be saving $3.5m in capspace with this trade, and so the key in making this trade a success would in large part be how the extra capspace gets used. If for example Sakic makes this trade, and then turns around and weaponises that capspace and newly acquired 2nd round pick to acquire a goalie or a direct replacement for Graves or Calvert/Bellemare, then this would be a pretty successful transaction overall.

We wouldn't expose a defenseman, but Compher on the other hand...

Expansion draft rules require every team (other than Vegas) to expose at least 2 forwards, 1 Dman, and 1 goalie who meet the criteria (i.e. enough games played this season, and under contract next season).

If EJ were to waive his NMC then we'd be in a good position, but there's no guarantee that he does that. The ideal scenario if the trade above happened would be the one below, especially if Seattle were to take Compher.

Mackinnon, Rantanen, Landeskog, Burakovsky, Kadri, Tierney, Nichuskin
Makar, Girard, Toews
Grubauer

Exposed: Compher, O'Connor, Jost, Johnson, Francouz (note: Jost isn't under contract next season so either he needs to be signed before the ExD to count, or LOC would need to play 26+ games this season. Failing that we'd have to expose Nichuskin).

Definitely forgot about needing to expose at least one. I guess worst-case scenario, EJ doesn't waive and Toews is exposed. Then we'd simply have to trade/pay whatever Seattle asked for not to take him.

Nah, I wouldn't expose Toews that would be silly. It would cost a 1st+ to steer Seattle away from him.

What we'd have to do in that scenario is trade for another teams surplus Dman just prior to the Expansion draft. I'm sure there will be some depth Dman who fits the criteria of playing minimum 27 games and being signed for next season who we could acquire for peanuts to expose instead.

For example, Florida have 6 Dmen under contract for 2021/22 (Ekblad, Stralman, Yandle, Weegar, Nutivara, Gudas). They can only protect 3 or 4 of them, and need to expose at least 1. So that leaves 1-2 Dmen more than what they actually need. So let's say we throw them pick for one of Nutivaara or Gudas, expose them in the expansion draft, and then if they aren't taken we could simply trade them away right after the expansion draft. Or you know, we could just keep them as the 6D next season. Either way we'd get around having to expose Toews. Florida meanwhile would be getting a draft pick for a player they were otherwise going to be exposing and possibly losing for free, so they'd win out of it as well.

Another team we could do that same manouevre with is Carolina. They will likely protect 3-4 of Hamilton, Slavin, Pesce, Skjei, Gardiner, Fleury, and Bean. Fleury will fit the exposure critiria and likely not be protected by Carolina, so we could probably acquire him for a 3rd or 4th and expose him, and then trade him or hold on to him after the ExD.

Yet another team is Montreal. They're almost certainly going to go 7+3+1, protecting Petry, Weber, and Chiarot, and exposing Edmundson. Thus leaving Kulak as a spare Dman who fits the criteria who we could pick up for a mid round pick.

I could go on with examples but I think that gets the point across.

Given the difference in caphit between the two of them I would very much hope that they'd pick Compher. Jost has been our best PKer so far this season and looks a little bit quicker on his skates than last year.
