All this saying, this is not even at all. You're asking for the number 5 center in the world for the number 1 defenceman in the world. Closer would be Makar for McDavid.</div></div>

This. McDavid for Makar is the only fair 1-1

Mcderp is fine in the regular season, but we'd need better depth come playoffs

O no doubt, but as a depth defenseman signed at the vet minimum? You're damn right I'll do that

Thread: 420 Wishlist for the season

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NMAvsFan</b></div><div>How do you figure he's worse defensively? His possession stats are better than JTC, especially his Corsi and Fenwick Relative rates and Devo is better on the dot (not a major stat IMO but he is better at FO's). Their deployment, usage and TOI are pretty similar, too, so it's a good comparison but Devo has played on horrible teams his entire career while JTC has been on a team on the rise for the majority of his - he gets to play with much better players. The health thing is an issue with Devo so that's a fair point - availability is a great ability. Ultimately, though, it doesn't matter to me because I don't think this is the kind of player the Avs would be looking for.</div></div>

That's my bad, I misread the advanced metrics. I stand corrected. Agreed on your last point, I don't see him as a target for the Avs.

He's worse defensively, his career high point total is 38 in comparison with JT's 33, and he struggles to stay healthy. There's definitely an argument to be made that he has more potential, but better? I don't see it, at least not yet.

Thread: Dvorak to COL and Subban back in town

It'd be awesome if Habs fans could let go of the idea that the Avs want Dvorak. It's getting old at this point considering we could sign one of Rodrigues or Stastny for what would likely be half the price. Just let it go. It's not happening.

Thread: He Couts He Scores

No GM in their right mind would retain for 8 years. Though if anyone were going to do it, it would be Chuck Fletcher.

Thread: Bennett for Compher with Retention and Futures

I could see the Avs including a 3rd team for retention, but they won't be retaining on anything for the next 5-6 years. There's just no room.

Thread: Stay Flexible

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RaZZe</b></div><div>Idk as Bennett is actually a center. Reinhart was solely a winger save for a few games when Barkov was hurt. And he didn't impress as a center. So as a center, Bennett might actually be more proven</div></div>

That's fair. Though as a 2C, I don't know if I see Bennett as "proven." He had a great year, no doubt, but can he do it again? Same question obviously holds for Kadri given his past year, but for a team like the Avs that'll be up against the cap for the next 5-6 years, that's a really important decision to make as it could be make or break

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RaZZe</b></div><div>Bennett for Girard makes more sense for the Panthers. Giving Reinhart would make their winger depth quite weak with Duclair going to the LTIR</div></div>

Less sense for the Avs though as Reinhart is the more proven commodity

Thread: Kadri Walks

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Knuckl3s</b></div><div>No, but I have to think GM's are at least thinking about the size factor going forward for that reason</div></div>

Which is fair, but the Avs aren't going to sell him at a discount. He plays the same game as guys like OEL, Krug, etc., and costs significantly less than them with a five-year term. Yet when anyone talks about OEL or Krug, you rarely hear about injury concerns, which I find truly interesting.

Thread: Kadri Walks

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Knuckl3s</b></div><div>I agree, Girard's value is still fairly high, but he's small in stature, and bigger body defenseman seem to be the rage of today's defense market. I mean, after he got flatlined by Barbashev in the 2nd round, I have to believe at least some team's are looking at that. Not to mention, there were rumors that Avs management were frustrated he got pushed around in the Vegas series two post-seasons ago</div></div>

And if that's what GMs want to value then that's fine, but Girard's possession metrics are better than loads of bigger body guys. Just compare his stats with a guy like Seth Jones, it's absurd. Outside of size, they're extremely similar players and you can have Girard for $4m less. As for the Barbashev hit, it was no doubt unfortunate, but I don't think you can fault him for that.

Thread: Kadri Walks

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Knuckl3s</b></div><div>Okay, maybe the difference between both players isn't a 1st, but it's not close to equivalent either</div></div>

Never said it should be a 1 for 1. Miller holds a ton of value, but can you name the last time a top-4 defenseman signed to a team-friendly deal came on the market? We're seeing absurd deals (e.g. Bjorkstrand) happen because teams are trying to clear cap, so in my mind, Girard's deal holds immense value.

Thread: Kadri Walks

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Knuckl3s</b></div><div>Miller just scored 99 points, those don't come on the market very often, and they sure as hell don't come cheap. Don't get me wrong, Girard has good value, but he's not elite. Miller would be a fantastic 2C alternative if Kadri walks. Olausson is a nice prospect, but he's not a blue chip one</div></div>

O no doubt, but I would say Girard is a top-40 defenseman in the league. That doesn't come cheap either, and my argument is that the difference between them in value isn't a 1st in what is the deepest draft in recent memory and the organization's best forward prospect.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Knuckl3s</b></div><div>LOL, Girard is expendable, and the 1st is very late. Miller is very much worth more than Girard alone</div></div>

I love the rationale that because the Avs have a wealth of top-4 defensemen, Girard is somehow expendable and should be sold immediately for a pending UFA. Care to back up how Miller is worth so much more than Girard? Would genuinely love to hear your thoughts.

It's also an easy no from the Avs side. One year of Miller isn't worth Girard plus two 1sts

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MarcBergevin69</b></div><div>Dvorak got traded for a first and second less than a year ago</div></div>

And the market has clearly changed. Just because you overpaid for him last year doesn't mean he's still valued as high. <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dnik1010</b></div><div>Bjorkstrand only got moved for cap reasons. Dvorak would be moved because COL needs a 2c. You're gonna end up paying more for him than this trade.</div></div>

No Avs fan wants Dvorak as a 2C. Majority of these Dvorak posts are Habs fans...
