Hjalmarsson has a full NTC and declined to move in the offseason. There were articles about the Avs being interested in him in October. He recently got divorced and doesn't want to move away from his kids, so I doubt he'd waive this time around.
If he did waive though I wouldn't mind if the Avs added him. We could probably do with another big bodied Dman who can kill penalties well. Fwiw I recently suggested a trade of Graves for Hjalmarsson (50%), but that's how I learned what I mentioned above.
The price on Raanta seems really good so I don't think Avs would decline that. However, we don't have many draft picks in the next 2 drafts so perhaps make one of the 3 picks a prospect instead?
