Girard, Newhook, Kaut and the three 1sts might do it or at least start up a serious conversation. Otherwise there isn't enough quality there. Newhook would logically be available in this scenario as Petey replaces him at (future) 2C. Annunen the Avs would want to keep as they have no other serious goalie prospects (and that's not saying they wouldn't trade him just they'd want to keep him), and unproven goalies generally speaking don't add much value to trades, it's too much of a 'gamble' position. Nobody can say where the three firsts would end up being in the draft though bar another injury riddled season you'd expect them to be low picks, low to mid at best. Kaut, whilst not yet a bust is close to it, even if he's a former 1st rounder. Still has time yet but it's running out fast. The Avs would have some issues when Toews and Petey are both due but it's not impossible to work (also another reason the Avs would need to keep Annunen to cheaply replace Francouz).
