Oh man the oilers say no to that in like 8 different languages. Take away Bouchard and you're looking at a possible deal.

Say if it was a 1 for 1 Bouchard for Girard at 1mil retained would that be more acceptable, I was just thinking that maybe something extra since Girard has 4 years left on his contract at 5 mil

There’s no way EDM does that.

Can't see the Devils having any reason for that move. If anything the Devils need a center ready to make the jump.

And this is why you aren’t Sakic lol

- Colton deal is pathetically low
- EDM isn’t trading Bouchard ++ for Girard (nor is COL retaining
- wtf is that OO trade for Foote? Lol

That would be a significant swing the other way. You're right the Oilers decline but no way should the Avs be trading Sammy with retention for a 2nd and 3rd.

This may be crazy, but I don't view Bouchard as a fit in Colorado. A majority of his zone starts are offensive, he doesn't PK and almost half of his points came on the best PP in league history. The offensive role he is growing towards is already covered by the best defenseman in the league and will be covered for the next decade. Not to mention Makar is just better defensively and always will be. Bouchard's offensive talent is redundant on this roster and he lacks defensively which would give us issues on the PK.

This is an Armchair-GM from someone who doesn't watch hockey.

Nolan is NHL ready now. All reports indicate he is a lock to make the Devils' roster in October.

Agreed, but even then I would just add another draft pick or prospect. I think what I was going for here is that we can't take on more than 1 mill in cap in return for Girard if we do trade him. Same with Toews.

He's had a couple cups of coffee with the Devils with a decent amount of success. But not the numbers that lead me to believe he's a lock to be successful. I can think of PLENTY of guys who were locks to make a roster during the summer that just didn't work out. I'm willing to part with OO, and I think it would be a fair deal here. I just don't know that I want an unproven commodity playing 3rd line minutes out the gate.

I wouldn't make the trade from the Devils' POV. Foote is a cheap fourth liner that has decent potential.
