We can give you Raffl and Sekera if you guys need help on the PK.

Price would be a 4th and a 5th, preferably two 4th’s.

Take Jimmy Vesey for a late pick. Other than Hischier, he is the best PK’er we have had since Coleman.

the PK already looks better since they're starting not to run in a straight line at a point man and take themselves out of position. They were over aggressive to start the season and we got a few goals from it but also let in the most pretty much. They've started being more conservative and it's been showing lately, but we also haven't played against a hot powerplay lately. With that being said i'd totally do this trade

Cbj ain't doing that.

Not enough for cbj to take that.

From the Avs perspective, hell yes. A young forward who fits their identity plus an underrated shutdown D on a nice contract sounds great to me.

I don’t think Columbus is interested in moving those guys though. Texier is somehow still only 22, even though it feels like he’s been around for a while. I would imagine he’s in their long term plans. Maybe they sell high on Gavrokiv with an extra year left on his deal (like Coleman/Goodrow as you mentioned).

I would be interested in Max Domi if he’s available. He’s popped up in Avs rumors for a few years, when he was with Arizona and Montreal. Good skater, positional versatility, fits Colorado’s style, and would bring a combo of skill and grit to the middle six.

You are correct about them not being available without a major overpay. Gavrikov maybe the only capable defensive defenseman we have in the whole system right now. Add in all the young Russians we have coming over and he is a key part to the future. On the other hand, Domi is certainly available. I think the expected ask is a 1st with retention.

That's two young players we can't really afford to give up and in fact need more of, and you're trying to get them at a discount? Hell no.

Don't think Domi is the type that would be of interest to COL - think they either want a top 6 versatile, cup hungry vet who's team is willing to do him a favor (aka Giroux) or do a trade like this for high quality, cost controlled depth whose contracts match the MacKinnon contract window.

Could only see CBJ trading 2 players they want to keep, but may not be considered integral pieces of the future and therefore pry-able, for a significant overpay. Perhaps get rid of retention on Texier and add Behrens to the package offered? Feels like CBJ's prospect D pool might be stronger on RD than LD? For a rebuilding team, the 2023 1st (esp. if only minimally/or not at all protected) might have more value than usual a year out 'cause 23 is supposed to be a deep draft and the last couple of drafts have had COVID scouting difficulties. Have heard rumors of some rebuilding teams wanting 23 1sts over 22sts, and also that CBJ coaching staff likes Compher. It all comes down to when CBJ feels their window will be, and how they plot it in relation to PIT, WSH, NYI's expected declines in the Metro. Ranta and Helleson would probably be on the table for COL for such a trade, but most likely not Barron, who looks like he may well be a contributor for the next two playoff runs.

Cbj has no interest in trading either guy away. You'd have to overpay, significantly.
