Big changes coming in Calgary

Created by: LafayetteAvsFan
Team: 2023-24 Colorado Avalanche
Initial Creation Date: Dec. 13, 2023
Published: Dec. 13, 2023
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Calgary salary dump of Markstrom so they can do Wolf/Vladar at first then Wolf/Aunnenen in future. Avs get vet #1B who can shoulder some of the load for Georgie the next 2 1/2 years and Prosvetov gets reps in AHL. Then basically Lindholm for Girard and Johanson. Avs get the true 2C they need for playoffs as rental, Flames get a long-term, cost-controlled replacement for Hanifin (when Girard comes back from rehab) and Lindholm (though Jo is more of a 3C now). Avs will also have space for Lehky when he comes off LTIR, and with Lindholm leaving, for Landy next year.

LMAO a salary dump of Markstrom would involve trading his full cap hit, he has very good value at 50% and he would be your starter instantly. Annunen would have to pass through waivers next season so not interested in him Girard sucks and Johansen has zero value to the Flames. Brutal offer try again

Girard doesn’t suck, you don’t like that he is small. Dude is 24yr old top 4 dman on arguably the best d-corp in the NHL, plays 20+ minutes a night and gets 30pts a year with no PP time. He most definitely does not suck.

Last year, I would say dumping Markstrom was a good idea. This year, he has been one of our best players. Our defense hung him out to dry for the first 15 games, but he is the only reason we aren't swimming with the sharks in last place. Vladar is easier to deal with as he has a low cap hit and term. Plus, wolf needs to be sheltered and isn't fully NHL ready yet. Retaining on markstrom also means he isn't a cap dump.

Calgary would be better off trading Lindholm for futures. The pipeline is dry and this trade provides no value to a rebuilding club. I don't mind Girard, but we already have a defenseman on LTIR because of mental health issues. Johansen does nothing for us. This definitely makes Calgary worse.

Girard is a slightly overpaid #4 defenseman. He's also clearly 25 now, I have no idea why Avs fans keep trying to say he's 24 when he's not. He's PP time has gone down significantly this year but last year he averaged 1:12 per game, in 21/22 he averaged 1:50 per game, and in 20/21 he averaged 2:15 per game on the powerplay. He's an offensive defenseman that is average offensively. He's below average defensively and is easily pushed off the puck in his own end. Maybe saying he outright sucks is an exaggeration but that doesn't change how brutal this proposal is

Talk about taking stats out of context, Girard is 4th in dman TOI in ice time on the PP, his PP time last year was inflated because of injuries and they ran a significant portion of the year with the PP2 having not one, not two but 3 dmen on it. Calling him an offensive dman imo is mislabeling him because he is a transition dman because he never gets to qb a PP unit because of who is ahead of him. He isn’t below average defensively as his shot metrics his entire career are very good he just plays defense the new style which is to pressure the puck, retrieve the puck and move where he is exceptionally good. Is he going to be a net front guy that moves bodies no, but he is very good with his stick and his skating allows him to get onto puck carriers fast. If he were on another team that let him play more on the PP he would be a +40pt dman. His shot is definitely nothing special but he is an exceptional passer and skater. I agree the trade is ridiculous but I never contested that, just your position that he sucked. He gets undo grief from Avs fans because he isn’t Makar (the best dman on the planet) Toews (a top 12-15 dman on the planet) and Byram a young guy that has shown he has at least Toews potentially.

That's a no from both sides for obvious reasons.
