ANA takes that and runs

Uhhhhhh. Yeah no.

couldn't be happier. let them deal with his cap and d. no disrespect to ADA would rather have the big guy back there as a deterrent and fixed cost for next year. can always re-up or trade at a later date. getting their #2 isa key.

is that for both or one. if one.....which one?

Trade all those pieces and say, Robertson instead of Skjei for Weber from MTL

Thats a terrible return for ADA...

Would like to hear from Avs fans on this one...unless they are really unhappy with their D at the moment...I don't think they would be in a rush to put a Brady Skjei in the path of their developing prospects...and even if they do like Skjei a lot- don't think they would part with Timmins...Timmins, Newhook, Bowers, Bowen, and Kaut are all prospect I doubt they would move..especially for Skjei- who on any good team (especially the Avs) projects long term as a 2nd pairing D. And some of the prospects just mentioned project higher...a 3rd pairing D at 5M+ doesn't help cap concerns...and the Avs do have a few players who will be looking to get PAID big time over the next few years.

Fair comments. Putting the Ads trade together looked at their current goalie situation. My thoughts were here is Georgie giving a big upgrade in talent, nhl experience and cap space to the team. likewise Brady for the term of his K. Avs have to give up promising talent and a #2 for return. Their line up is deeper now for their Cup Run then before the trade. Plus with all the talent they have coming in there is only room for so many. Maybe this crystalizes the choices they have to make. NYR open room for Igor and get some cap relief.
