Easy no from boston.

That’s not getting you debrusk.

avs decline, they wont be trading a 1st and Olausson in a deal that Giroux Is not retained on

No thanks. Give you a 3rd for Braun.

Judging by the payment of Manson, salary retention would probably raise the deal to include another prospect or 2…. I also think Brassard would be a great piece for the Avs to add a 4th liner who is good in the circle.

I think Philly will go for Barron, maybe look for Kaut/Beaucage to sweeten a deal since G is very sought after and brings everything the Avs need…

But yeah, definitely half salary being retained

manson trade has 0 to do with Giroux and his NMC dictating where he wants to go
Avs already had brassard once, under bednar, and he was a complete disaster here.

Nashville is not trading for a goalie. Saros will play every game if they make the playoffs. Rittich is not much worse than Jones.

Brassard was just to improve the bottom line in face-offs, Nico move fixed that.

And Manson move with the salary retention and the overpay definitely helped shift the market. Giroux has said where he wants to play, I think the Avs and Panthers are preparing to go into a bidding war honestly.
