Instant decline by the avs, you know the salary cap exists right

NYR say yes and run

Minnesota says no. Guy had 1 okay season and isn't worth a 1st round pick

point is if he becomes like hagel, which i think is a big chance of happening, then he is worth a first

its only 4 mil they can take it

And Minnesota doesn't need a winger and have no need for any C that isn't a 1c, so Minnesota still declines.

You might actually want to put in the effort to look at that first, you are wrong

Blowing up the roster and retaining that much salary to add yet another left shot defenseman with a significant contract is a very weird decision. If NSH can get 1sts for Granlund and Tolvanen that would be great (however unlikely it is), but overall you've made the team worse.

Yotes want the moon for Chychrun. They probably want more than this for him, and it's already too much for NSH to offer, given they don't really need him.

Nah man, I think Avs would accept this. A 2C coming off a 63 point season signed at $4m X 3 would be a great fit.

Obviously cap would need to be managed but there are ways to do that. They already have ~$1.8m in unused space and they could easily find another $2.2m+ simply by trading Compher.

There's no way Poile would do this trade with 50% retention though.

SO you would be forced to trade Girard to accommodate the cap hit of Ryan Johansen? I dont
and this is for next season. So you are getting 2 years at 31 years of age. and 100% moving girard to fit him in.

That is an easy pass for me

Haven't we had enough lessons about pretending Duchene is a center?

If it's next season it would depend on how Newhook has done at 2C

Calgary can't afford that

Wouldn't deal Granlund of I were you.
