Johansen and Jarnkrok
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Richard88</b></div><div>At full caphit I don't think Sakic would touch it either. $6m AAV though would make it interesting.

Yeah $2M retention at a minimum. Maybe they take out Donskoi from the trade and add Bowers or Kaut and a pick or something. IDK, this is a tough one to really value.

Johansen and Jarnkrok
Johansen is a huge gamble unless there is serious retention. Maybe he improves away from whatever is going on in Nashville, but it's risky. I can't see Colorado rolling those dice.
At the same time, Nashville has to gamble on him bouncing back. That return (or likely any return they'll get for him) isn't going to help them become competitive.

Floating Newhook due to panic mode in the fanbase
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sedin33</b></div><div>You would need to add something like Byram for the Canucks to even consider it.
Before you respond, consider that Horvat is the captain on a very good deal. Wanting Vancouver to retain salary on top of that is really asking for a lot.</div></div>
The retention was more to get everyone to $5M but it wouldn't be necessary. In terms of adding, Colorado could add but certainly not Byram. There are very few players in the league worth both Newhook and Byram.
That said, I can see why Vancouver wouldn't move him. I considered him one of the longer shots on this list. If there was a rift between him and the organization then it could be possible. I know there is nothing to that effect now though. Figured no harm including him in this post though.

I would have to think Buffalo is on Johnson's no go list. That aside, an Eichel trade is sooo difficult. The cap hit is tough in this environment, and it's hard to give up those kinds of assets. MacK and Jack would be a helluva fun one two punch to watch though.

I would attempt to replace Timmins with Helleson and Jost with Bowers, because sometimes Mr. Right Now is more important than Mr. Right. Otherwise it might be worth it.
It's kinda funny you posted this as I actually thought about trying something similar with Horvat. In the end I decided it was too early to go there and that I didn't want to take the wrath of backlash that would be associated with posting it, lol.

Does Makar kill penalties

IMO a Norris candidate/nominee should be on the #1 pair, playing #1 minutes, #1 PK unit, solid +/- and shut down performance, and maintain consistent offensive production.</div></div>

Makar is 3rd in TOI on the PK for Avs defensemen. That would change if Johnson were ever healthy, but the point is he does kill penalties. Not only that but he has the best xGA per 60 of all dmen with any significant pk time.
He's a complete defenseman. Any metric will show that, and the eye test will too. He currently looks to be a Norris candidate for years to come.

Revamped bottom six
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Richard88</b></div><div>Interesting idea.
Why would Nashville do that trade though? Jarnkrok costs half as much as Donskoi and produces basically the same amount of offense. If they move Jarnkrok it's because they're commiting to a rebuild, and Donskoi does nothing for them. Jost is young enough to fit a rebuild though so makes a lot more sense for them.</div></div>
That's the tricky part. It probably takes a sweetener better than Kamenev, but I put him in since they drafted him.
Logic for them would be to still try and be competitive while also rebuilding a bit. Otherwise maybe a guy like Forsberg bails. Whether that logic is sound is questionable but that is my thought process.

Jarnkrok Staal Stolarz
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Richard88</b></div><div>I think if you can get Jarnkrok at $1m x 2 for a cheap price it's something you do as that's phenomenal value. It's like having Donskoi at $1m effectively. He can play anywhere in the lineup and at that caphit you can even afford to stack the lineup and have him on the 4th line if you want (not that he should be below 3rd line but just pointing out the value gives options).</div></div>
I hear the points but still feel there is a redundancy factor. Donskoi is already the guy who moves up when needed. Nichushkin can as well.
I would trade Compher or Donskoi for Jarnkrok. If something like that works or if they can get him for futures and then move one of those guys in a different trade then great. Keep Nichushkin and Jost though.

Jarnkrok Staal Stolarz
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NMAvsFan</b></div><div>There are arguments to made for and against but the bottom line for me is that the 3rd line has been <em>at best</em> ineffective and there are some guys on the regular roster that are acting as an anchor. If the 3rd line could get going, that would give other teams defensive fits and free up the top two lines to score more. I'd prefer to see something done about that 3rd line sooner rather than later.</div></div>
Anchor is a bit strong, but certainly a couple guys (namely Compher and Donskoi) have not been great 5v5.
Jost and Nichushkin play in such a way that when they aren't scoring it isn't an issue. That's important for the bottom six (imo). Bellemare and Calvert too. Even LOC. Keep those guys for their defense and play driving ability. All they need is 3C.
Jarnkrok is tempting but I don't think he moves the needle in this trade. Staal or another 3C probably does though.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Richard88</b></div><div>Jarnkrok's analytics aren't the important thing. He's playing on a terrible team so they aren't going to be great to begin with anyhow.
What's important is that he could be acquired with a $1m x 2 contract and put up 30+ points.</div></div>
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NMAvsFan</b></div><div>JTC has had some 30+ point seasons and is doing jack squat so far. But, maybe a change of scenery does both Jarnkrok and Compher some good. I think it's a risk worth taking when you're trying to win a Cup.</div></div>
Better play from 3C (and better puck luck) could get a guy like Nichushkin going. I'm reluctant to have too much turnover, especially if it's a guy like Jost who drives play and is one if the better defensive forwards in the league this year.
I also believe (and correct me if I'm wrong) thank Jarnkrok is playing on their second line. Losing minutes likely means fewer points and then maybe we're back where we started.
Just see where Staal gets things and call it a day. That's my opinion.
Edit: just to be clear, I'm in no way opposed to Jarnkrok. He's good. I just think he may be a lateral move.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NMAvsFan</b></div><div>I agree improving that 3C is the most important thing right now but I like what Jarnkrok brings. It would suck to see Jost go but, IMO, adding Staal and Jarnkrok would make that 3rd line more dangerous on the offensive side - the offensive metrics for all those guys listed are pretty bad; Donny has some points but that is masking the fact that he drags everyone he plays with down. Also, his 33% shooting is not going to hold. All-in-all, I think the Avs would be <em>much</em> better with the bottom-6 proposed.</div></div>
Jarnkrok is also riding an inflated shooting percentage. I think he's a decent player but probably a little unnecessary. 3C would be huge and likely enough.

I think the Staal trade is enough. Jost doesn't score but at least drives play in a positive way. Compher simply needs a change (imo).
A bottom six of Jost, Staal, Donskoi and Nichushkin, PEB, Calvert looks pretty good.

Deadline shakeup
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Richard88</b></div><div>Interesting ideas.
Silf would be great for this team for sure, and a massive upgrade on Compher. I'm a little bit weary of his contract going beyond Mackinnon's deal when Silf will be 33 though. This trade might also preclude the Avs from resigning Saad.
Would also prefer to drop Helleson and the 2nd and just have it as Compher + 1st. But I suppose that wouldn't be enough.</div></div>
Yeah I don't want to move Helleson. He has really taken a step forward this year.
Donskoi, Kaut, plus is something I could work with. And if the Ducks retain $2M and tbe Avs $1M then it helps with that extra year. Probably a tough sell there though.

I honestly think you both have valid arguments. The other thing I'll note is that he has full trade protection and won't be going anywhere unless he wants to. If the Pens don't think they have a shot at the Cup in the next two years (currently it looks doubtful, but who knows), then they may be forced to make a tough decision. In any case, they won't get what Malkin is worth in return due to the NMC. That's my opinion anyway.

Brown won't make much more (if at all) on his next deal, so I think that's kind of a wash.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Richard88</b></div><div>I can understand the idea of moving Kaut given our clogged RW, but moving him for a guy like Brown does nothing to help the Avs. If Kaut is moved it needs to be in a package for a 3C or a goalie (eg. Kuemper).</div></div>
Having as many guys that can play C as possible is desirable (imo). Otherwise you end up with Dries in the lineup. Brown still has upside but has been derailed by injuries and a crappy organization. I don't personally think it's as far off as some others.
That said, I can see and appreciate your points. I'd rather include him in a deal for Crosby or Malkin but I do think this is interesting enough to discuss. I just don't see Kaut as an impactful player on this team.
