My prediction on Giroux is that they'll trade for him if he pulls a Taylor Hall and says, "I'll only accept a trade to Colorado." That will bring his price way, way down to something Sakic would be willing to pay. But I feel like it's pretty well-established he doesn't do big trades like this in-season. If he did, he'd have no capital to use during the off-season when the real good deals are there to be had. I know lots of fans think going after Giroux at a price like this is worth it but deals like this rarely result in putting teams over the top. I imagine he will go after some bottom-six help and maybe some D depth but this is a good team as-is and Sakic builds the team during the off-season. The Goodrow and Coleman situation was unique and I don't see something like that happening for the Avs or any other team.
