A pending UFA bottom 6 guy in Compher, And a LD that Vancouver doesn't need in Girard. How in the world can Vancouver refuse that.

Devils have blue line chock full o’ rd. Hamilton, Marino, Severson…plus Nemec, Walsh, Hughes, Mukhamadullin all set to arrive in 2022-23. Got no place for them all.

Canes just are not interested. KK is signed long-term, it's a good deal that has a perfect 3C signed long-term. There's no need to trade that for a player that is just above replacement level making 6 million.

...and yet the Avs wouldn't likely do it either.

I could say with a high degree of confidence that Avs wouldn’t do it.

Horvat is good and better than Compher, but he’s not half a decade of Girard better than Compher.

If the Avs are making trades for rentals, they won’t be moving out key roster players

🤫 nobody wants to hear that trades should make at least a little bit of sense for both teams.
