So here's where I ask that all important question - what is in this for CBJ? They already have Werenski and Provorov, and you're asking them to give up Marchenko

Come on now, you get Drouin back, that has to be worth something!!!

That’s giving Girard away for nothing that helps. Hard no.

nothing that helps? marchenko would be top 3 in scoring for the avs. you want mcdavid in return for girard?

Jackets decline. They can’t afford another highly paid defenseman. Marchenko also isn’t for sale. Certainly not for girard

You're forgetting the #1 rule about the Blue Jackets. Everyone sucks there and would cost nothing to acquire.

Marchenko is absolutely off the table. He's a top-line winger of the future and playing like it already.

On what planet? Marchenko has 8pts Rantanen 19, Makar 16, MacKinnon 15, Lehkonen and Nichushkin who haven’t even played well have 8 as well. No if they trade Girard I want a real 2C even if it means adding.

meant foward my bad. The way girard is playing, i dont think he would get back a players like marchenko. But if you add to girard, there might be a 2c available from the right team.

They need a major shake up because this is nonsense. Honestly Girard hasn’t been bad, the shot metrics are good and the PDO shows that at 90.8, but Girard needs to be paired with preferably a bigger d that will bomb it from the point because his shot sucks ass and the only Av on the roster that fits that profile is Manson and he has been awful.

Avs need a shakeup regardless.

With Lekhonen injured, they are lacking depth and they just signed kirivanta.

Francouz is done for the season and 99% sure done with the team since he be a UFA at end of season. Hopefully kovalenko comes soon. He would def fit in with colton and wood or at least try him with nuke and ryjo
