A swap of Girard for Roy makes a lot of sense, not sure the value difference is equal to Turcotte though. Maybe Vilardi if LA is starting to give up on him, but even then the kid kills it in the AHL so there's bound to be something at the NHL level.
I think LA would have to add more than just Roy but I also think Roy is very underrated and the fact the right handed defenceman are more valuable definitely balances the deal a bit more, but the idea is definitely there.
Also, whenever Byram gets healthy (I agree with above that it's best to shut him down for the year) - that's a hell of a top 4 to go up against in the regular season. Idk if it's the playoff type of defence you want, but Colorado would be in the conversation for the President's trophy every year they had it
