I can see the Avs trading a LHD for Beauvillier (or any other decent middle 6 forward) but it wouldn’t be straight up.

They save also 850000 on the cap with this trade. But if they retain 1-1,5 avs need to pay a draft pick/picks

I really like Beauvillier as a target and he seemed to have a strong end to the season in Vancouver. There is a big difference in value here tho. Beauvillier has a slightly higher PPG than Girard. Slightly. He is a middle six winger (very easy to target in FA) while Girard is a puck moving top 4 d-man (much harder to target in FA). Beauvillier is on an expiring deal. Girard is signed for 4 more years at a contract that only will look better and better. The list goes on. Like the target as said, just not the price.

That’s a no from COL.

NSH passes. The 1st and 2nd should be enough to move up 4 spots.
