I would pass on that deal personally. Taking on 6.4M for 4 years is steep without shedding any cap and considering Gibson's performances the last few years.

Gibson (awful numbers past 4 years, 4x$6.5M) gets a 1st ; Murray (average numbers but injuries past 2 years, 1x$4.7M) costs a 1st 🤨

I’d love that Graves contract but he is going to cost 5+ million for 6-7 years

I don’t think Troy gets the 8 years unless it’s a lower aav as well

I don't see the Avs (or anybody) moving a first for Henrique now. Maybe last year but not this year unless it's at the TDL. ANA are best holding onto Rico as it stands until then imo to maximise potential return. Someone may overpay at that point.

Avs decline, can likely get a better fitted player for the 2c role rather then spending a first on Henrique

Both are fair takes. Honestly, that was the reaction I was expecting. If Avs had a 2023 2nd I would've substituted that pick instead of the 2024 1st. ANA probably just hold onto him until TDL.

I really want Graves as well. You are probably right contract-wise. This will be Terry's largest contract as it goes through his prime. I reckon he'll push for a high 7 mil contract for 8 years.

Such a disingenuous argument. Murray cost a pick swap not a 1st.

Pens swiftly decline. Gibson’s washed, playing for that moribund franchise for years ruined him.
