We're not trading Girard now. He'll be harder to replace than a 2nd line wing. Also what is that bottom d pair lol

Flyers easily decline

Philly declines. They have no need for a LHD

Toews is miles better so yea need that money for resgin lol no need for a 5 mil 3rd paring guy

I think they would flip him after

Your assessment of Girard's contract is somewhat daft to say the least. PHI don't need a LHD.

That trade is just awful for the Avs and Philly. Girard isn’t what they need as a rebuilding team tearing it down, they need futures. Secondly, the Avs need help down the middle and resigning J.T. is a recipe for disaster, very dumb.

Jt one of the best defensive forwards in the league is a bad signing? what world do you live on?

At $5 million?

its a overpay but it makes the job of finding a new winger for him and val much easier since they are so good on both sides of the ice

The problem is that he disappeared in the playoffs and the Avs can’t afford overpayments and bad contracts as a cup contending team.

Do you not read or anything.

Compher is not 2nd line center material hence why every avs analyst keeper saying they need to find a 2nd line center.

Compher is a solid 3rd line center and a good fill in when injuries occur, but not as a consistent starter hence why if the price ain't right they will let him walk.

Compher was paid 3.5 for at least 4 years.
His points were 31-18-33 then this year 52.

Compher barely started playing like the a 3.5 this season.

Seriously overpriced at 5 million for that kind of production and you can get cheaper defensive forwards

Nah bro Compher is a 2C he proved it this year Avs would be stupid to let him walk, Avs analyst dont understand the effect of a 2 way center who can play 20min + a night they want all these 1 way guys like Kuznetsov and Schifele

The cheaper defensive forwards you talk about put up low 30s pts each season not 52 like JT did this year

Lol johnathon toews is a definition of a two way center he consistently put up double the production of compher his whole career. Compher ain't the best

Toews was payed double too

Look at anze Kopitar Patrice Bergeron etc it's funny if you think compher is on there level. This isn't about the cap hit. This is about production. Compher doesn't even come close to these guys and they produce consistent every year. Compher had one good year and yeah let's over pay him and make him 2nd line material, thank God this a forum and not real

Girard doesn't fit the timeline, and Flyers can't flip him for more value as teams will just seek to pay what the Flyers got him for. Only works in the three-way trade.

You’re over the salary cap, it’s going to be 83,5M not 84M

Too many people underate Girard and he's actually a 2nd pair D. He'd be harder to replace
