Why would the Avs downgrade for a 4th?

Zadina and Rasmussen aren't going any where.

Precisely, Filppula is worse than compher, and giving up a 4th. That’s a no

The days of fleury getting sent with picks are gone. With all the injuries already happening he will be moved without much negative value

Nor does it really solve the need at 3C, so it makes zero sense.

Detroit passes on every single deal

if you want compher it would likely cost a det 2nd in the off-season.

I wouldn't take Fleury without large compensation but now that Vegas is cap compliant they wouldn't be willing to pay as much to get rid of him. Detroit definitely doesn't do this trade since it involves giving up Rasmussen and the most valuable asset we're getting back is a 2nd.

If Chicago really wanted Fleury I don't see why they wouldn't just make the trade for him without a 3rd party.

Zadina was the 6th overall pick 2 years ago. I guess he hasn't exceeded expectations but he's not a bust and projects to be at least a top 6 scorer. Yzerman should get fired if he were to trade Zadina for a 2nd and a bottom 6 guy.

Colorado wouldn't downgrade and retain salary for a 4th.

That Zadina trade is insulting.

Filppula is awful, the thought of him playing on the Avs in any roll kinda makes me want to vomit

Vancouver could only wish this happens.
