Would COL be interested at all in moving Barrie or Johnson to BUF? If so, what would the price be.

Barrie probably for reinhart and guhle and we'll give you a 3rd at most

Moving Barrie (not Johnson) to Buffalo would prob take Lehner+Scandella+2019 2nd

I dont think we would trade for scandella because I want girard and zadorov to have permanent top 4 roles next season and scandella will get in the way of that

True, so maybe just a good forward and Lehner then?

2.5 for Yakupov? what exactly has he done to earn that? he's spent a good portion of the second half of the season in the press box has he not?

Reinhart? And I dont know if I want to spend 10 mil on an inconsistent tandem

He was good in the beginning and we need to get to the cap floor so this is just a precaution

Ummmm pass.

Oh well

IF they move Barrie. It has to be for scoring on the right side. In Buffalo that's Reinhart and not much else. I dont really see a trade fit there for that reason, as I know Sammy has high value.

I like the re-signings though I don't think Barberio will be back and Bourque will maybe get a bit more, he's earnt it. Yakupov should get less, he hasn't earnt it, much as I like the guy. However if you're re-signing Nemeth you don't need Edler, and I certainly wouldn't trade for McQuaid. That just blocks Timmins and/or Makar and/or Meloche coming through. The Avs also have Lindholm who isn't bad and Siemens who has looked reasonably impressive to fit in.

I don't see Buffalo as a logical trade partner for the Avs for Barrie. As others have said, Barrie will probably be traded for help on the wing (most likely right wing but either would help), and there isn't really a fit there.

Yakupov is not a 2nd line center. He is a depth bottom 6 forward. He gets by on name and cause he was drafted 1st overall.

Shane Bowers and Vladislav Kamenev will be on the team next year barring any injury.. There will be no place for Yukupov.
