Thread: 2024 Habs with Huberdeau
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>Going to take a better offer than that for Girard. Top pairing capable dmen fetch more than a 3C and a 2nd, 24yr old puck moving dmen locked up long term take some real quality.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Foppa21</b></div><div>So the Habs are getting a top pairing defenseman while the Avs are getting the equivalent of an overpaid 3C and a 2nd round pick?

In a world where Bjorkstrand gets traded for a third and fourth, Dvorak bringing back Girard is pretty wishful thinking.

If the Habs want to shed his salary, they'll just have to cut their losses and take less than what they paid for him (perhaps a lot less).

Thread: My favorite 2C and a Nuke clone
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jedihonesy</b></div><div>we want RHD that aren't small and can play shutdown too. Marin Kaut is 22 and hasn't made the NHL yet. 1st will be late too. This doesn't do it for Horvat because it doesn't fit our needs at all. If u want Horvat ur sending us Newhook or Byram and a 1st since we can sign him next year and there's no pressure to move him. You could try and get Miller without paying as much since he is older and maybe we cant sign him, but u won't be able to sign him either so its a pure rental. But the avs roster would be really good with miller at 2C. It would probably be worth it to get Miller cause avs will probably win the cup again and then new hook will be ready for 2C the year after</div></div>

There is no chance we’d get Byram, let alone Byram and a 1st. I could maybe see Newhook getting moved but even that seems unlikely. Canucks and Avs aren’t really good trade partners after the Avs moved Barron/Helleson though

Thread: Tkachuk doesnt work
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Foppa21</b></div><div>Fair enough. Again, not arguing that Lindholm isn't a great player here, just saying that he's the type of player I'd be targeting in a Girard trade. If it's futures, then it better be some solid pieces. In my own opinion, I think that Girard is consistently underrated among defensemen, yet everyone seems to want him for peanuts. Hopefully that helps you understand where myself and other Avs fans are coming from.</div></div>
Yeah I’d agree that he’s underrated, but I think that’s because Byram seems to be better than him now, so people see Girard get pushed down to the 3rd pair and value him as a 3rd pair guy, which isn’t fair. I’m not sold that he’s a true first pair guy either though, despite an amazing 20-21, because he regressed significantly this year (especially defensively, but he also put up fewer points in 67 games last year than he did the year before in 48 games). I do understand that some of that was playing with Jack Johnson though, so I think calling him a good #3 on a solid contract is fair.
