Avs decline, they have 0 interest in an aging player with a contract that is too long throughout his decline years
Hörnqvist would not be a fit in Colorado either.

I accept that feedback.

too much term left on a contract at his age for a guy who will be 34 next season. plus with a M-NTC, having a contract wtih any sort of trade protection is a risk avs can avoid with him.

I’d pass on that oilers trade. In my opinion Murray is a bit of a long shot to actually take over the starters role. Think people seem to forget kosk was actually pretty darn solid all year. I’d rather just sign a cheap back up lots available and not tamper with defensive depth. Another issue I question people don’t consider enough when moving larsson is that leaves the right side with Bear only entering second season after being a huge surprise this year. Benning who is a fantastic 3rd pairing d but it’s debatable if can play top four full time. Bouch has no nhl experience. Moving larsson will require replacing which is much easier said than done.

Avs are both not trading Val and wouldn't have any interest in Hornqvist no matter how much Pit fans would like to pretend they would. So that trade is a failure is all aspects

It will also cost a lot more to get a team to take on JMFJ
