Avs accept

Avs shouldn't accept. 1st and Beaucage for a UFA who likely won't re-sign and the Avs can't afford. Sakic won't be handing out 1sts for rentals. Add to that Danault not wanting to be a 3C, no room at the inn unless we're moving Kadri.

Avs easily accept. This year is very likely the year the Avs will have the deepest roster given that soon the Makar, Landeskog, Grubauer, Mackinnon, Byram, etc. raises will come into play. Their window might just be opening, but this will likely be their best shot at it. Moving a late 1st and a B prospect for the ideal player to fix THE biggest hole on the roster is a no-brainer. If he does well and likes Denver you can work on resigning him in the offseason. He'd be playing 3C most likely, but 3C on a powerhouse contending for cups each year is more fun than being the 2C on a bubble team. If the money is close enough to what he's looking for it won't be hard to resign him, especially Kadri leaving in UFA the next year.

First off, Danault said he doesn’t care playing 3C, he just don’t want a defensive role only. He wants to contribute offensively.
Second, Montreal are in the same position then Colorado, that’s their best shot they have to the Cup. They will keep Tatar and Danaultfor their own rental. Might sign one of the two if they have a good playoff run.
But yes it would be a good trade for both team if MTL fell from a cliff and Toronto Calgary Edmonton Winnipeg pass them
