Get younger amp hungrier
I'm not sure Colorado would want Kuemper until he's 37. I got the sense that was why they didn't re-sign him.
That said, at the lower AAV (i.e. after retention), I do think it's possible they'd go for this.

Graves has shown he can complement Makar. That's why he's better for this team in my eyes. If he can come back and play at the same level as when he was here, I think that's a better top four.

At some point you need those bridge guys to help drag youngsters to the playoffs and show them the way. Manson fits the bill imo.
As to his NTC, he only marks 12 teams he won't go to after this year. Buffalo could be on that list, but I don't think its a slam dunk.

I think Manson would be a nice fit there. I have seen other Sabres fans trade for him and like how the lineup looks with him added in.
Personally I think Manson's experience would be more beneficial to the Sabres than another young (or at least less experienced) player in Kovacevic.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Logicalicesports</b></div><div>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</div></div>
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.

Avs Devs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>YeahDudeitsChris</b></div><div>So from an NJ Standpoint, I'm fine with the shakeup of getting rid of Marino since we have too many RHD's and I do love Colton's play but I definitely value Marino higher. He's a legit top 4 shutdown dman who can provide a little offense here and there. Marino also goes through random stretches where he's dominant but not consistently enough to be considered a game breaker. Colton on the other hand is a 3rd line guy who provides grit with a pinch of offense. NJ doesn't really have a use for Manson since they're so deep at RHD and are really only seeking a shutdown LD that fits in the top 4 and I'd move Siegenthaler for that but it has to be a longterm viable replacement option or I'd just run with Siegenthaler again and hope his issues last year were just some mild struggles amidst the bigger team issues. That being said, Colorado adds if its just the Marino for Colton and I don't think Holtz is on the table unless its a top 6 version of Colton or a Legit 1A to elite goaltender. NJ would add it it was either of those.</div></div>
Yeah I can see holding onto Holtz for a larger deal. I made a Devils ACGM (not published), and I like the looks of it. Looks very balanced and there is the added benefit of having Manson's deal off the books when Nemec gets his raise. But I get your point.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>Feels to me like the avs would have to add significantly, especially because of their cap crunch.
I like Colton but NJD shouldn’t be paying more than Colorado paid, which was a 2nd.
And I don’t think I’d want to get older in a Marino for Manson swap.
Imo at minimum a 1st would have to come back to NJD for us to accept, but I’d rather just offer a 2nd+4th for Colton and keep it simple</div></div>
What do you think Holtz is worth at this point? He obviously has potential, but there is quite a bit of risk there too. I am having a tough time valuing him with those factors.
I could maybe add a 1st, but it would have to be conditional on Holtz popping. Not sure what the conditions would be for that, but it's too risky to add a first if there wasn't some downgrade in the pick if he doesn't start to produce.

Avs Devs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>swinny</b></div><div>It's an interesting idea.
But, as a fan of neither team, here are my thoughts:
1. The Avs move cap space
2. The Avs get younger
3. Arguably, the Avs with Holtz do get the best offensive player - albeit that has yet to be proven.
4. With Colton, the Devils do add a more physical element. Same with Manson.
5. With Colton, the Devils do add more flexibility in the middle 6 (specifically with Haula and Colton).
So, where one could see the possibility of this working for both sides; I would say that this current construct is far more beneficial to the Avs.
Therefore...... something I think maybe missing. Perhaps a conditional pick? It really is the Holtz factor. If he realizes his potential, this is a slam dunk of a home run deal.for the Avs..... and I don't see Fitzgerald allowing that to happen. What this is, is a good ole fashioned hockey deal in the making which adds elements to both line ups..... but the Avs are simply missing something in that package for me.</div></div>
Well laid out comment. I agree with pretty much everything here, including that Colorado adds.
I also really like the suggestion of a conditional pick. Something based on whether Holtz pops makes sense. Would need to think more about what that might look like, but the logic is sound.

Even with all of that, I can't see them moving Nichushkin. Look at his ice time. He plays more than anyone except Makar, Toews, Rantanen, and MacKinnon. Personal issues or not, they rely on him a lot.
Speaking of ice time, sort the roster by that and work from low to high. Those on the low end are more likely to be moved, with Mittelstadt being the one exception (because of the position he plays). That, combined with marketability, is how I land on Colton or Manson.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shaun80</b></div><div>So who's leaving to clear cap space?</div></div>
Colton or Manson would be my guess. Or maybe they replace Georgiev with someone cheap like LA.
Think of this though. Every year all the rumblings are about how the Avs are gonna trade Girard, and they never do. Before there was at least logic for speculation with Byram being around. Now that doesn't exist. They have Toews and Girard on the left. Then it's Jack Johnson, who is a UFA. They can't afford to move him.

That's way too much. Goalies are voodoo (as the saying goes). Georgiev has been lousy, but he was great the year before, and I wouldn't be surprised if they ran it back with him again.
In any case, they aren't moving Girard after having already traded Byram. They won't gut their D. Take him out and I think Colorado might do it, but they generally don't spend much money or capital on goalies (Kuemper was an exception, but that only happened because their other plans fell through and they were desperate). Of course at that point Calgary might get more elsewhere, and if so, good for them.

There is nothing you could reasonably add to make Colorado trade Toews. They moved Byram already. They're not gonna move Toews too.
Now of course you could offer up like L Hughes or Nemec, but I wouldn't even suggest it. It's why I used the word reasonably above.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LimeyBarsteward</b></div><div>Yeah. To me Dowd is hugely overrated for the Avs. I feel like a 4th line center isn’t a big need and Dowd doesn’t match the relentless forecheck approach that we use. Is he a good player for his role, sure, is he below market value, yes, is he worth a 3rd round pick to the Avs… maybe but not much more. He is worth much more than that to Washington and that’s ok.</div></div>
They focused waaay too much on aggressive forechecking when constructing the curreny bottom six imo. That's not why they won the Cup. The won because possession players bought into backchecking, which spurred their transition game.
Dowd is a good 4C who can slide up to the third line in a pinch. And he's affordable and should outplay his salary. That's a good guy to have. Colton at 4M means you lose someone else you don't wanna lose.

Colton for Dowd
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>I mean if Landy is fully Landy that’s one situation I could see (maybe the only one) where Ritchie plays 3C. I don’t know that Dowd is the right guy stylistically, check his NHL edge stats below 50th percentile in top speed and speed burst, and he is in the 96% for his shooting % (is that driving his numbers and is it sustainable?) especially between 2 speed merchants like Wood and LOC. Colton does look like the guy they could move for salary cap reasons.</div></div>
I'm not too concerned about his shooting percentage, as it's his defensive ability that makes him an asset. I can't say I'm not hesitant about the lack of speed, but I tend to think it would still work. If not, he can be flipped pretty easily.
All else equal, I'd rather have Colton. But if moving him allows the team to sign Drouin, I think you have to make that move.
Agree on the importance of having Landy with Ritchie. I think that every acgm I have made with Ritchie as 3C has that same set up, and it's intentional.

I would not. But the assumption a lot of us are running with is that other GMs won't either, and he'll have to decide between taking 4M or so elsewhere or 3.5ish in Colorado, where he is a great fit. Obviously that assessment could be wrong, but I tend to think no one will want to throw big money and term his way when there are so many risks that have been made clear by his inconsistent career.

Few thoughts:
1. I guess I was wrong by a lot when I said Hagel wasn't worth a first, regardless of how good his contract was.
2. Kuch is gonna win the Ross but not the Hart. It's a really close race, with three or even four guys deserving of it, but it's going to be the guy who doesn't have one yet. It's just how it works, and it's hard to argue that MacKinnon is somehow a poor choice.
3. I assume Jeannot just barely missed the cut :squintytongue
