Already commented on the initial thread for the Avs trade, so will add below.
Moving Girard off the blue line leaves a big hole. Even if Byram returns, you probably want a larger sample size of good health before you rely on him. Otherwise, you end up with MacDermid playing in the playoffs.
Beauvillier is a fine player, but you have him playing 3rd line wing minutes and probably 2nd unit PP. Mayfield doesn’t move the needle for me on D either. Not worth the price of losing a #3D, bottom 6 center, top(ish) prospect on an ELC, and a 2nd. Would rather hold on to those assets for a more noticeable upgrade.
In terms of what you added to the trade (Helleson+3rd for Parise), that’s a major overpay for the Avs.
