I think Arizona would want young guys and picks not Kadri who is already 30. They’re rebuilding not contending.

Kadri would be flipped at trade deadline (with or without retention) for likely two 2nds or a 1st. So haul for Arizona would essentially be two 2nds/1st, 3rd, and Bowers for Dvorak

Other places I’ve seen Dvorak get a 2nd and a good prospect, think that beats that offer. Main issue is if Kadri will waive to play in Arizona for a couple months and then be flipped to a playoff team

I see you’re thought process. I wonder if they’d consider the same thing. I love the move from an Avs perspective cause it gives them a great 2C with cost certainty for the next 4 years and provides insulation for Newhook just in case.

this trade does nothing for the Avs

They want to add a top 9 players so they move their 2c for a guy they hope fills his 2C role while giving up assets and a good nhl ready prospect in Bowers?
