We are not swapping DeBrincat for a player that doesn't serve a critical need.

Try again.

Colorado doesn't have the cap space to sign Alex DeBrincat long term, He'll easily come in around 8 x $8,500,000 to 8 x $9,000,000 per AAV.

Avs decline the Rangers trade

Debrincat is awesome but the Avs can’t afford to re-sign him. Both teams decline

Maltsev doesn’t really have much value. I don’t know anything about those two Montreal guys but would imagine the Habs decline.

Pittsburgh trade is interesting. I could see this working but you just traded out 2 of the Avs top 3 centers. For that reason, Avs decline. Interesting one though.

Dude Kapanen has been a healthy scratch multiple games this year. All I want to know is why the injury gods are kissed at the Avs.

Eh, I haven’t focused on the Pens this year. I’ve said a handful of times that I don’t think the Avs would consider moving Compher, but that’s not necessarily saying he’s the highest value player. Dollar for dollar, there are some trades that might make sense that I still wouldn’t do.

oh yeah man, Alex DeBrincat for Sam Girard. yeah for sure. Sens counter with like, Mathieu Joseph for Devon Toews

I'm not doing that for Ottawa

Girard isn't the type they need anyway.
