<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juiceman</b></div><div>Definitely a great solid second pair d man, but I feel that everything he does, Quinn Hughes does better so his talent would be kind of redundant in Vancouver. I feel like if the Canucks were to trade Miller to the Avs, they would target Newhook. Not that the Avs would agree to that but that’s likely what Vancouver would want</div></div>

Just doesn’t make sense to the avs. They can’t keep miller, he is going yo want a better deal that kadri got. Avs trade Newhook and they are in a worse spot next year. No formal 2c and they don’t have a high end young player like Newhook to dream in that role.

They can’t or won’t trade Newhook until they know what they have in him as a 2c. Why shoot yourself in the foot long term trading him now

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>littlejerryseinfeld</b></div><div>This isn't my AGM.

I made a Colorado AGM today and didn't trade Girard.

I don't think Colorado has to trade Girard this year.

I think they have cap issues next year DEPENDING ON THE CONTRACTS MACKINNON, BYRAM AND NEWHOOK RECIEVE

Trading Girard to sign those 3 makes sense as he has value and Colorado doesn't really have cap dumps to move.

You said your wouldn't trade Girard for a Rental, I provided a hypothetical and you won't answer and instead attack me personally</div></div>

you tried to move the goal posts in your crusade of trading girard nonsense, this is about Miller and Girard.
No one personally attacked you, you are the one engaging constantly. Saying you obsessed with the avs cap...which is just a fact based on your recent engagement. Thats not an attack.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>This is compelling. The only reason I don’t think COL does this is right there on the depth chart. MacDermid playing every night in the 3rd pairing is a brutal. Love Dermy but his role with the Avs is clearly defined 13th forward plays when the other team is notoriously hit heavy or as emergency dman. I would seriously consider, and if they had either Barron or Helleson now it would be a slam dunk. Really creative, good post.</div></div>

Adding 1m in cap space for next year is a bit tough as well, it would already be quite tight as it is with Girard in the fold. You swap out a 5m aav for 6m aav. Then you really are squeezing on one of newhook or Byram on their next contracts.

Idea this year is interesting, long term, I dunno

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>there were some rumblings that Stastny and the Avs already have a handshake deal in place
You are overlooking Ben Meyers on the roster, slot in on the Avs third line next year.</div></div>
meyers is interesting, didnt know how good he was in the regular season. probably takes cogliano's spot on the third, who gets moved to the fourth and probably one of maltsev or galch (on this roster at least) gets scratched

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>UpsideDownQue</b></div><div>Only issue with Stastny is if theres any bad blood between him and the Avs based on how he left them years ago. If everyone is over that then I think hes a perfect fit

Rask had very solid underlying numbers the past 2 seasons, especially defensively - that seems like the kind of forward the Avs like. Youre probably right he wouldnt cost 2.5M so if they can get him cheaper then thats even better

<img class="for_img" src="https://i.imgur.com/qrJZ1vsh.png" alt="qrJZ1vsh.png"></div></div>

so if the avs add stastny for 2.5 and rask for, say, 1.25, it should fit in cap wise if you remove galchenyuk and pitlick from the roster, and then you have a roster of:

Landeskog - MacKinnon - Rantanen
Lehkonen - Stastny - Nichushkin
Meyers - Newhook - Compher
Cogliano - Rask - Helm
(Sedlak, Maltsev)

defense same, goalie same

i'd say thats solid if stastny performs like a 2C, and its even better if newhook does too. honestly this is a scary good COL team

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>UpsideDownQue</b></div><div>Sakic had control since 2013, no? Maybe it wasnt official but I thought he was the one pulling the strings before he was actually named GM. Either way its in the past now - I agree I dont think Stastny or the Avs would have any issues with a reunion at this point</div></div>

officially he wasnt named GM until September 2014, Roy was also the VP of Hockey Ops at that time, coming on board in 2013. He was acting as a partial GM as well while Sherman was basically just managing the Cap. "TSN's Bob McKenzie reported that Roy would have the final say in all hockey matters. Then-Avalanche General Manager Greg Sherman retained his post, but was considered the general manager "in name only"

man looking back to that, what a messy situation in that front office, no wonder it didnt work.
