Thread: Retool
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div>I'd 100% take Girard for the LAK 1st, but I doubt Colorado goes for it. We could use an actual defensive-minded 2LD (Z is almost a rover and Gavvy was both more offensively gifted and less defensively gifted than people give him credit for), and Girard is locked up for a while at a good AAV and fits the timeline.



If you want centers, we could do Roslovic half-retained or Foudy, but I don't know if either interest Colorado. Would the LAK 1st, Roslovic ($2M retained), and a 2nd or 3rd get it done for Girard? If you're looking to move him, CBJ are interested, but it's got to be for pieces we might actually move. What's essentially "you're stupid for not trading a borderline-untouchable piece for this" isn't in good faith.</div></div>

There could be something there with Roslovic. Not for the 2C role, but it would be a cap savings and Colorado could also use some depth scoring. I would entertain that. It could free the Avs up to make another move for a 2C.

Thread: Filling Holes
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Anus_McLeod</b></div><div>Georgiev has been awful. I might take a flyer on him as an addition to Kuemper and Francouz, but I wouldn't trade the latter and rely on him.

I like the DeBrusk addition, but I'm not sure the trade makes sense. If it's Compher and a kicker, then I'm in. Not sure I want to give up a couple good prospects though, and I'm also not sure Boston would be looking for just futures.

Kulak for cheap (like a 4th or 5th) is fine I guess. My biggest concern here would be cap space and whether it could be better utilized elsewhere. Plus I feel like Johnson, Murray, and MacDonald give the team pretty decent depth options when there are injuries.

Overall I think you are focused on the right holes for the most part. The only one of these acquisitions I'm really in favor of though is the DeBrusk one.</div></div>

Kulak would be a great acquisition provided Ryan Murray is out long-term. Last I read, it doesn't look good. Jack Johnson had an okay start, but he's not good enough to be in the top 6 full time. I'm not married to Kulak, but I was trying to find pending UFA's on a team that's probably not going to make the playoffs.

Maybe you could play around with some of the trade values, but I think Georgiev would have more success in Colorado. The Rangers leak scoring chances more than almost anyone. He'd be an upgrade on Frankie, and he's 25, and under team control after this season.

And yeah, I love the thought of Jake DeBrusk in an Avs jersey.
