I agree with you. If Landeskog doesn't return the Avs probably don't trade anyone and just use that capspace on an UFA instead.

Yeah pretty much this. They won't move Girard for a rental, it would be an off-season trade if he gets moved.
There would be interest in Tanev but very doubtful about Zadorov as he never meshed with Bednars system.

The Avs wouldn't necessarily need retention for 2023/24 so sending s contract back would work (eg. Francouz), but the issue is the $2.2m caphit isn't viable for next season when the Avs will be pressed for capspace due to Landeskog probably returning.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>squashmaple</b></div><div>It's not really the contract. The cap is fine in Columbus this season. They just need the roster spot, and there's no point in leaving an NHL caliber defensive D in his mid 20s as a healthy scratch when he could contribute somewhere else. He's just been squeezed out in Columbus between Severson, top prospect Jiricek forcing their hand to give him a roster spot, and Gudbranson bringing important intangibles on top of the same role Peeke would serve.</div></div>
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>squashmaple</b></div><div>Sold. No takebacks.</div></div>
Would CBJ consider retaining a bit, say $500k-750k? That would probably make this viable for Colorado. Or at the very least $225k which is the minimum amount they'd need retained without having to move anyone off their current roster (not counting Francouz on LTIR)

Niemela
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>Yeah, for sure just meant that Girard is probably not the type of defender that Treliving would be looking for, I guess it really depends on if he adds someone or not in the current season, but physicality (could be a 5-7th D) is something he's looking to add - he wanted Desharnais from EDM, and size in general is something he likes on the blue line. I don't think that automatically disqualifies Girard but because the Leafs already have a smallish defense (Rielly 6'1, McCabe 6'1, Liljegren 6'0, Timmins 6'2 -- Brodie 6'1, Klingberg 6'3, Giordano 6'1), I don't think Girard would be a trade target. GiggywithGibby made the counterpoint that Niemela is basically the same size as Girard, so I was just pointing out that Treliving wasn't acquiring Niemela, wasn't saying that he would have the same impact. Also, if Brodie is gone next year there would be a need for a DFD or a TWD that is more defensive than offensive.</div></div>
For the same reasons you outlined that would imply that Treliving would be very likely to trade Niemela (regardless of whether it is for Girard or not). What do you think Niemela's value would be in isolation right now?

It would take 50% retention, but I doubt SJ has any interest in retaining half of a deal that has term. At least not at a price that would be acceptable to Colorado. No fit here.

Niemela
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>Girard is around the same height as Niemela but they aren't adding Niemela, he's already in the system. Just meant that if he's going to add a top-4D it's probably someone with size.
I do think they will be cheap on defense, because Klingber's money will basically just go to Nylander (if signed), Bertuzzi probably gets something similar or more, same with Domi. If they don't re-up one (or more of those guys there could be money to go around). The other thing is if they don't re-sign Samsonov they will get some money. Brodie coming off the books isn't really extra money imo, since they will at least need to pay a replacement for Brodie assuming they don't re-up him for around 3M. If Brodie has fallen off (starting to really seem like it) or just is not re-signed, then they need to be spending to replace their top defensive defenseman if someone is available (like Pesce) in FA. If not they probably get someone who is physical like Zadorov.</div></div>
Niemela may be around the same size as Girard but let's not pretend like he's at Girard's level, at least not yet. Girard is a proven commodity, Niemela has a lot to prove to get to Girard's level as a top 4 Dman.

Y'all beat me to it, was gonna say exactly that. Avs budget for 4C is <$1m and they have it covered with Olofsson and Pavel who will get a shot too. They may add a 4C at the deadline for depth but it would be a cheaper guy than Sturm in that case.

Avs could offer Calum Ritchie instead of a 1st. That way Ottawa get a C prospect who can contribute sooner than anyone they pick with a draft pick.

Kadri GONE
Colorado didn't want to go beyond 4 years for Kadri, as they reportedly only offered a max of $6.5m x4. Doubt they'd want to take him back even at $5.5m given the 7 year term, and the fact they already made moves to fix 2C with Johansen (until 2025), Ritchie (hopefully the 2C beyond 2025), and Colton as the fallback option.

Niemela
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SupremeBone</b></div><div>I'm a fan of neither team but I'd say the comparison to Hronek falls short in two key ways:
1.) Hronek is a skilled RD which was a major need for the acquiring team (TOR won't have the same kind of press for smaller, skilled D)
2.) Hronek was in the midst of his career-best season in which he was on pace for ~50pts and was handily outperforming his teammates while playing primarily with Maatta and Chiarot
Girard doesn't fulfill either criteria and has a worse of a track record of being exploited for his size & defensive shortcomings than Hronek does. As such, I'd say your expectations on the return are a tad high- even if the 1st would be a later pick. Personally, I think FLA would make a lot of sense as a landing spot for Girard despite their lack of picks.</div></div>
Hronek may not have been the best stylistic comparison. But Girard easily gets a return like this. His defensive metrics are great, he's more than just a small offensive Dman.

What assets do you think Ottawa would want?
Colorado have all their 1st round picks as well as a center prospect drafted in the 1st round this year (i.e. Calum Ritchie). That should be enough to make a competitive offer.
