Thread: Avs 19-20 Retool
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JeffW</b></div><div>Are you forgetting that once nylander signed he basically disappeared? Barrie is worth more than nylander, it will never be a 1 for 1 trade... I doubt that Toronto could send a package over that would make sense to the avs unless in included marner who I believe untouchable in toronto</div></div>

Yes it might be a bit one-sided. However I think there is upside in Nylander. He is younger, on a long term deal and has room for improvement. Barrie has probably reached his potential. You are essentially trading 60 points for 60, hoping that Girard and Makar can pick up the slack on D and getting some more points on the 2nd line. To me it sounds like a net positive for the Avs. As for Nylanders contract, it might be a bit high but thats essentially what a 60 point player costs long term these days.

Anyhow I just thought it was an interesting exercise to see what could be done in shifting defensive power for offensive.
