I understand that this may not win the Giroux sweepstakes, but I'm not comfortable giving up Barron. I will trade away one of Behrens/Helleson. Behrens has been playing the right side for DU and is a freshman defenseman who is almost a point per game. I think Philly would be happy if this was the best offer they got. They can get value for JT in the summer. Bottom 6 defensive centers who can also finish a little bit will garner some value (especially because he's signed).

I think this is the year for Colorado to do this because the west is so weak. Sakic should just stick to giving away 4th rounders for Namestnikov in the next few years when the west is much better so the Avs can get that next wave of ELCs.

Also with the Lehkonen thing, you can put a 3rd rounder in there instead of a 4th and that's totally fine. I just don't see how anyone will give up a first for him. I think Sampo and a 3rd/4th is a totally fair price because it's a forward with top 6 potential and a mid round pick for a 30-40 point guy who is good at defense (essentially JT Compher but doesn't get crushed in shot metrics every night). MTL will be hard pressed to get a solid prospect and a 1st or 2nd round pick for Lehkonen.
