Would you trade Suzuki for Valeri Nichushkin, Alex Beaucage, and a 4th?

No? Yeah, no one gives away young talent signed to great deals for a pile of crap. Easy decline by the Avs.

Since when is Toffoli crap? And I don't think you've done your research on Struble either lol. Unless you think that Girard is Cale Makar, tone down your expectations on what you'll get for him. Toffoli is a 30-goal scorer, Struble is a B+ prospect and you also get a mid-round pick. Toffoli in itself is a great piece to add to the Avs since he's got term and a low price tag for a win now team. Add in the prospect and pick, it's a very solid deal for the Avs.

Toffoli is a 29-year-old winger who has historically put up decent numbers. Not a bad pickup by any means, but he will regress towards the back half of his deal so he's no trade centerpiece. Struble was drafted in the second round and hasn't done all that much to impress since. Drew Helleson, drafted by the Avs with the next pick, has been far better. Not to mention the Avs have a wealth of D prospects in Barron, Helleson, and Behrens. They are in need of forward prospects, not D. So to reiterate, you're trying to trade Toffoli (will regress shortly), Struble (not impressing), and a 4th for Girard, a 23-year-old Norris caliber defenseman signed at $5m for the next 6 years. Where is this a solid deal for the Avs?

If the Avs really do trade Girard, which is a big if, it will be for a similar age and quality forward signed for term (e.g. William Nylander), not Toffoli and an average defensive prospect.

As for the Norris reference: https://theathletic.com/2501883/2021/04/07/do-we-need-to-rethink-how-we-judge-norris-candidates-samuel-girard-adam-fox-and-others-are-forcing-the-question/

"Norris caliber defenseman" ok buddy. I'll give it to you, the Avs have 2 Norris caliber defensemen but Girard isn't one of them. Toews and Makar are levels above him and even then I think Toews is a longshot to ever contend for a Norris. Girard is a good young defenseman and if you look to move him, I can't imagine you get anyone better than a Toffoli, who has cup experience btw.

Let's look at the stats (https://www.hockey-reference.com/), shall we? We'll compare Girard with the previous three Norris winners.

2020-2021 Season Points per Game:
Roman Josi = 0.68
Samuel Girard = 0.68
Victor Hedman = 0.83
Adam Fox = 0.85

2020-2021 Season CF%:
Adam Fox = 53.1
Victor Hedman = 55.1
Roman Josi = 55.9
Samuel Girard = 60.2

2020-2021 Season Fenwick%:
Adam Fox = 53.9
Victor Hedman = 54.1
Roman Josi = 56.1
Samuel Girard = 59.6

Now you seem like someone who relies heavily on their gut feel, so let me explain it all. Girard didn't score as many points as Fox and Hedman (who are both PP1 with Girard on PP2), but was far and away the better defenseman by possession metrics. Now you're going to scoff at that and say "ok, sure buddy," but the stats don't lie. As for us not getting anyone better than Toffoli, Girard was in the Eichel offer from the Avs. Eichel was quoted as having said that he thought he was going to Colorado over the summer, and the only reason it didn't go through was because Buffalo refused to retain any salary. So let's put that notion to bed. Seems to me I just disproved every point you made, so maybe stop while you're ahead?
