I gasped at the Colorado one

avs are not your farm team and decline.

You must have missed the TJ Brodie part of it.

Ultimately, that deal doesn't make sense for Colorado I would say but don't sleep on a player like Brodie.

Brodie is good! In this case, he would be our third (maybe second) pairing defenseman for $5mil. We'd have $18.5 mil on our right side.

It makes 0 sense. Leafs ACGM just throw players they no longer want in the other direction, and that's what i mean.

Oh I agree, that's why I said my 2nd comment. Colorado isn't lacking D lol just wanted to make the point it wasn't like the Leafs were trading fairy dust for Lehkonen.

no way in hell do the Avs trade Lehky for ANOTHER 5mill dman.

and a rental $5mil defenseman at that!

I think the avs might bite at like timmins or something like that, $2mil or less, though.

Preds easily decline.

Remember the Preds suck. Also, they have a quality goalie prospect coming that will be ready in a season or two. Or throw in RFA rights for Samsonov too.

Lol, wishful thinking on my part. Brodie is solid but yeah, AVS don't need him.

I wouldn’t overpay for a goalie in today’s NHL. Especially one that missed the playoffs playing in front of Josi, McDonaugh and Ekholm.

Avs simply don't have a need for Brodie. Pass.
