Doing All 32 Teams Realistic Offseasons Blues

I sincerely doubt Rosen and Blais come back

Signing Scandella to that means that DA is senile and should be removed

I don’t see a team giving up a first for Leddy even at 50%
I also don’t see NYR making that trade for Buch!, that’s a lot of assets for one year of a guy. I also don’t like taking on Goodrow but that’s a nitpick

Rangers decline, if we did not offer this package for Guentzel we wont do it for Buch.

I love Buch, but he is not worth this massive overpay

That Ranger trade is delusional and Drury obviously would just hang up on you. Figures it's from a Leafs fan. Maybe you can send Marner to Edmonton for McDavid, Draisital and Hyman, all with 50% retention.

Not a prayer COL does that. They are going to look to move cap out not bring in a $2M 3rd pairing dman for a 1st. Besides they have Malinski, Behrens and finding another dman like Johnson if they need for a $1M is the course.

I think it’s safe to state that Nick Leddy is not a 3rd pair defenseman by hardly any teams standards.

I do however understand that the Avs have Toews and Girard who would most likely play up in the lineup above Leddy.

It depends on if you want the cap savings and are ok having someone you don’t really trust on the 3rd pairing or if you want a full top 6 that’s reliable in pretty much all situations.

I’m not advocating this trade for the Avalanche, I think it’s an overpay and a dumb spot to overpay for. I think we are on the same page here, just wanted to comment about Leddy being a well above serviceable defenseman since him being here in STL. He’s probably a pretty good #4 on most teams in the NHL
