Avs aren't trading a left handed defenceman just to get one back - that's not why they're shopping Girard. They're looking for scoring update, and by the sounds of it they want a centre with multiple years of control (hence why they offered Girard in a Eichel package). They feel comfortable with Toews and Byram as their top 4 left handed options and a bottom pair guy can be had quite easily.
Montreal wouldn't have anything fitting what Colorado would be looking for - possibly Suzuki but let's be real, that's not happening. This deal doesn't offer anything interesting and the teams don't add up well for a trade at all.
