You forgot Niederreiter and Wheeler, they both need a trade as well.

canes will not touch scheifele. still a no.

Unless Dubois is a sign and trade you can forget that from the Avs.

That’s a massive overpay for PLD as a 1yr rental.

DeMelo and Dillon are worth better picks then that.

He would be, likely 6-7 years at 7-7.5 mil aav

The canes ownership/managements propensity to not buy players to improve their team is why they struggle to eliminate good teams in the playoffs. Wouldn’t pay up for Tkachuk and look how that turned out (not saying Schieffle is Tkachuk lol). Same thing with Timo Meier. At some point they have to take a little risk and show their top guys they are willing to surround them with secondary and tertiary talent.

Under those circumstances it's not outside of the realms of possibility. As a 1 yr rental heading to MTL afterwards the Avs would decline.

This badly false. Canes offered a 6 piece package for Meier. I highly doubt those were 6, 7th round picks so unless you know what that package is, you can’t say that we didn’t. From what I understand we weren’t candidates because Grier worked with his buddy to get it done, we had a serious offer but were never considered.

Tkachuk thing. We were a leading candidate and then florida swooped in. How were we topping that package? We weren’t but nice narrative you got there.
