Quoting: Xqb15a
No way do you trade Helleson for a 3C, Wood is a massive overpay he is Compher. Wood .37ppg, Compher 0.4 ppg, CF% Wood 46.7, Compher .48, Compher has a better career xG diff, so why in the world would you send a 1st rd pick and Compher to get Wood. Bro just embrace the ginger it’s ok, it won’t hurt you 😉
Savard, just why? And please don’t say because he is physical. The Avs force the play their way who can play with them, TBL not Vegas as demonstrated on Friday night, and with a healthy lineup (minus EJ) Savard isn’t playing top 4 minutes. Also with an expected flat cap for the next 3 or 4 years those ELC’s are gold to be able to plug into the bottom 6 and 3rd pairing.
As for 3C, what would be your offer for Faksa? He'd be a perfect fit for this team and has a good contract too.
Miles Wood might not be a huge upgrade on Compher but his combination of size and speed would be more of what this team needs in the bottom 6. Anyways, I do agree that this is too much for Wood, which is why I revised this offer in my next Wood-AGM to be Compher + 1st for Wood + 2nd + 4th. Something like that would probably be fairer.
Savard isn't just because he's physical, but that is certainly a factor. It doesn't sound like EJ is going to be back anytime soon, and even if and when he returns this season he's going to be super rusty. Adding another big RHD would round out our D group perfectly. He's also an upgrade on MacDonald who has started to show some cracks in the last couple of games.
