Only Appeal for Milano is a potential cup but if he’d sign that low he’d be on a team getting 2nd line minutes rn imo

Not a fan of Gourde who basically cashed in on one big year in TBL. Brassard in COL again never happens because neither party wants it and you’re missing Ben Meyers who is a lock to be with the team.

I have always liked Gourde, but he's a middle six guy who is getting top six money. I don't like that about him and wouldn't trade Girard for him. However, I could certainly be interested if the price was right.

Milano is a pass for me. On a good team where he doesn't get favorable minutes I think he struggles. It's a low risk move considering it's a one year deal, but I think he ends up as an expensive healthy scratch in this scenario.

If the Avs were after a C from Seattle then it would be McCann plus for Girard I would think. Gourde isn't a bad middle 6'er but doesn't swing it for me/
