I should point out that adding a Dman to this team now is probably not gonna happen because of expansion draft.

Dermott is staying and adding a guy would force exposure.

penguins have no interest in that trade.

No thanks from the Avs. Burakovsky is the kind of player the Avs need to keep, not trade away. Maybe a year ago this would be fair value but after Burakovsky's break out year theres no point in taking a risk on another player. Yeah Virtanen is younger but theres no guarantee that he can fill the same role that Burakovsky showed he could this season.

And how does Kerfoot = Virtanen = Burakovsky in your trade values? I think its clear that Burakovsky > Virtanen > Kerfoot

While Lizotte will be expendable for the kings as if they draft Stuzle or Byfield they will have (Kopitar,Vilardi, Stuzle/Byfield, Amadio) as the center core which is good. But all that wont be necessary to acquire him. A 3rd and SDA should be more than enough.

Cut out Vancouver and Colorado and just trade the 2nd and Mittelstadt for Lizotte and a 4th. Kings would do that.

1. Avs don’t need to crest cap space
2. That trade is atrocious, Burakovsky is significantly better and has been more productive through out his career.
3. Big no from Avs

Hard pass. What an awful trade

That is abhorrent for the sabres

Avs decline rapidly.

Even if we sign Hall we won't need to even consider moving another good roster player like Burakovsky until 2021 at the earliest. His value is also more than Virtanen given that he's paced 28 goals and 64 points this season, and likely to have a reasonable cap hit going forwards.
