Description
i think boyd is a good fit, being able to play center and wing gives us depth.
Ive been told arizona wants players who can play now so i've moved slammin sammy to them so they have a solid puck moving d man with term to get the puck up to the newly acquired forwards.
Dumba brought in to replace sammy.
The roster is essetnially full and we have cap space to bring in someone if drouin fails or we need extra depth on 3rd line or d

IMO, they don't need to do something like this, giving up a top-4 D. They can just go out and sign someone like Suter or Ritchie to fill that role.

IF Girard got moved, the return should be better than Boyd and picks (picks hold little to no value for COL trying to win now).

Dumba signing is a tire fire

I don't think they should move assets for a guy like Girard on a 4x5. Especially when you could over pay Dumba on a short term deal at 5.5. And if they miss that, there are other short-term deals they could get paid to take-on.

Depending on how camp goes, I could see Boyd becoming expendable for picks or a steady depth defenseman. I don't see them burning a bunch of draft capital for Girard. They made their move for a Girard-type puckmover when they got Durzi.

COL's roster is almost complete. Add a bottom six forward and maybe a depth D (more than likely they just rotate JJ, MacDermid, Hunt) and preserve any remaining cap space for a possible deadline move. The problem all along with moving one of their D-men is that their very next move has to fill that hole on D. Given the quality of a Toews or Girard, almost every replacement is a downgrade or a quality one will eat the cap space that was created by moving Girard or Toews.

In a sense, moving a D-man usually ends up being a lateral move for COL at best. The only exception, imo, is moving Manson (probably not possible) who is the only one who could be replaced for cheaper and not lose us much defensively.

This is why I would prefer to roll with the D-core as is and then move Manson next summer when his trade protection drops to a 12 team NTC.
