Avs do not want Drouin. they arent trading a 1st for him, they arent trading a useful roster player for him,

just got off the phone with Burnaby Joe and he said the deal was fair bro I don't make the rules

No thanks on Paquette, but i’ll take Perreault

Weise/Fleischmann return that is not but Paquette/Perreault are quite worthless. Maybe Perreault gets you a 4th.

Doubt Vancouver wants to trade Myers as he's been the Canucks best defender this year which is saying something. Contract sucks but Jimbo as long as he's in charge wont be rebuilding.

Chiarot return is low. Big, physical TOP4 D at the TDL go for a Kings ransom. He should be able to get a 1st from a contender. Foligno and David Savard both got 1sts at last years deadline.

Armia is the one player on the team that can win board battles. He wont be traded and if he was it would be for much more.

Hoffman has been a pleasant surprise. Doubt he can be moved to a pretender like Jersey.

Why would the Avs do that?

I get your points to an extent (Chiarot won't warrant a first at this point, he's been awful this year and I love Benny). But, no point in holding onto your good players if you're still going to be bad, may as well move them for picks and youth and build.

You're underestimating the price with Big, physical D. Chiarot isnt my cup of tea but this is a guy that has played top pair in the playoffs with Winnipeg (Big Buff) and MTL (Weber)

He most certainly will get a 1st. Risto also sucks and look what he got, the examples are endless.

I think they should not panic right now with these 3 pt games around the league (thank god they arent getting those this season) so many pretenders think they got a chance at the dance so they too can become another cinderella like Montreal or Dallas these last two seasons. That limits the sellers to maybe a half dozen
The TDL they will have options to move out their UFAs
