Thread: Avs TDL 3-Team Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>krzyk0</b></div><div>That article was from before the season started. He's BY FAR the best player on the team. Giroux leads the team in goals and has almost 10 more points than the next highest scorer. At this rate, 7 million on his next contract might still be a discount. Joe Pavelski's last contract is a fair comparable.</div></div>

I'll give you that he's definitely the best player on the Flyers rn. And his corsi and points per game are a bit better. But not 7M AAV vs 4.5M AAV better. And 22 games this season isn't a huge sample size either. Pavelski *could* be a contract comparable but I think he was overpaid and he signed that contract before covid (and the flat cap). Tbh if Giroux wants 7M, he can probably get something close, but not on a cup-contending team. So ig I'm betting that he wants to win... who knows though

Thread: Avs TDL 3-Team Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FreeTacosAreBestTacos</b></div><div>So wait. The Rangers trade Georgiev, a 2nd, and a 4th, for the privilege of taking on 2 cap dumps and a goalie who hasn't played since March of 2020? The ****?</div></div>

Idk what to tell you, Rangers say they need a middle-6 forward and a defenseman. Compher has been good this season and Risto would be good in a smaller role. I cld also frame the trade like "the avs are trading a forward on a 60-point pace (compher), a former 8th overall pick (Risto), and a goalie with a .923 career save percentage for a goalie with an .876 this year and two picks". Obv that's not a good representation of the trade but your take basically does the same thing dude.

It's better than trading your first for a rental forward, imo.

Thread: NOT Another an Eichel Trade Read Description
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Claesson4Norris</b></div><div>You're also nuts if you think there's not a guaranteed 1st in any Eichel trade, and if you're convincing a team to eat half a decade of a 2mil cap hit, it's gonna cost <strong>WAY</strong> more than Shane Bowers and a 2nd. Bowers is a forgettable prospect, and you're almost certainly adding a 1st there as well.</div></div>

Look at it this way: a desperate Islanders team paid 2 2nds and a 3rd for Arizona to take on 11M of Ladd's salary over 2 years. Here, I'm asking them to take on 10M over 5 years. Bowers had a very good preseason and looks a lot better, so he's worth at least a 2nd. I think Miner projects to be some kind of NHL goalie even though he was a 7th round pick, so let's say he's worth a 3rd. So the Avs are basically giving up more than the Isles for less money retained over longer term, which is at least a good offer. Plus, I don't think Colorado is as desperate as NYI to make this deal, which gives them some leverage.

Also Kevyn Adams said he wanted 4 first-round pieces, and prospects on track to be solid NHL players are WAY better than unknown picks with the scouting department Buffalo has.
