I cannot see the Avs trading Kovalenko. He is very well liked by the team and the fans already. The waited for him to come over and are happy to finally have him in the states

Agree. Kovalenko is off the table until at least mid next season. They didn't work hard to get him over just to move him. Would be unethical to do so as well.

Also, I know Jarry to Colorado is all the rage, but I'd be really surprised if Colorado's FO went for it. They don't like committing to a goalie for multiple years, and a guy with some question marks probably isn't who they break the mold for. Nothing against Jarry, but it just doesn't fit the MO.

I dont see the point of trying to compete with nearly 10m in dead cap
This seems like an undoing and redoing of the same random UFA signings that didnt work this year

Easy no for the Avs. Y'all need to stop with the idea of dumping Jarry in Denver and hoping to get something back for him.
