SJS does that as much as I'd hate to see Ferraro go.
He'd absolutely tear it up on the Avs.

This is interesting. Haven't seen this idea before. Girard going to SJ only makes sense if EK is gone. I suppose it could work. Not sure why Pavel is in 4C over Meyers.

Trade might also be contingent on Karlsson being traded..

Colorado loses this trade pretty handily, imo.

I think there might be talk about Pavel being more prepared for a 4th line C. Yeah Girard might help replace some Karlsson production.

We gain another "seasoned" RFA and cheaper long term dman, might also free up room for Toews extension

Uh, not really. Not for the Sharks I mean. We have Karlsson and Benning at RD and logjam at LD.

I agree avs gett shafted on this trade especially giving up olausson also. I'd take out olausson and then that would be a fair trade.

Also pavel as scouts and development has been saying is he's good on faceoffs and solid PK. He's like a kampf 2.0 not the flashiest but good.

As Olausson isn't already a top six star, I doubt Bednar ever plays him there. I'd do this

Kunin is a 3rd liner that has arb rights and will get a pay raise next summer when we are cash strapped.

Girard is > $1.75M better than Ferraro, who would be an expensive bottom pair guy in Colorado.

Olausson is whatever, not concerned about that part.

If Gabe comes back we'd have 10.5 mil to resign Toews & Kunin, D depth
I think Avs would love to have our bottom pairing D make 3.2 instead of 5.

And to replace 3 forwards (Drouin, Cogliano, Olofsson) and a defenseman (Johnson).

Even if those 4 roles are filled for $800K, that leaves you with $7.3M to sign Kunin and Toews. That won’t work.

We’re saying the same thing. Filling out your lineup (assuming Pavel is an NHL player):

You need a Cogliano replacement at 4LW. Assume that’s $800K

You need an Olofsson replacement at 13F. Again, assume $800K.

You need a Johnson replacement at 7D. You put Malinski here. That’s $850K.

You could argue that the Avs don’t need a Drouin replacement because Landeskog comes back. That’s fine I guess.

Now you need to give Toews a pay raise. That’ll be minimum $7M AAV. And now you have Kunin with a $3M qualifying offer and arb rights.

Conservatively, you are spending $12.45M to replace those players. It just doesn’t work. You’ve essentially traded Girard to downgrade your defense and make your 3rd line more gritty and expensive.
