Does NJ really need a guy like Girard when they have Luke Hughes tho? Plus Byram is injury prone most years, Girard is almost like an insurance option CO always has.... I think it all depends on Landeskog tho, if he's healthy, which who knows if he will be, then they likely need to shed cap.

I believe Landeskog is going to be healthy right in time for game 1. Like Mark Stone last year. His cap hit isn’t going to count. You really need to give Byram the playing time for him to break out and reach his maximum potential. But yes I agree, Girard wouldn’t be really the guy to move, it would be Manson. For The Devils, I think adding someone like him is needed, he fits them perfectly, he’s very young, has experience, won the Stanley cup, locked up for next 4 years. After they lost Severson and Graves, I really believe they need a top 4 defenseman. It could cause issues when Nemec is going to get ready. To me right now, their défense isn’t a Stanley cup caliber one.

This is not going to happen

Avs decline that trade. Girard has been the #3 defenseman this year and Byram #4 (both by ice time). If anyone gets moved to make cap space, it’s Manson.

No thanks, this just makes Colorado worse.

What is this. you understand Drouin is chalked right? and congratz on making the devils SMALLER. Why are ppl like you so scared of having Size. All offseason Devils need size/physical, but you want lazar gone for drouin? buddy...

The problem remains brendan smith

You can keep your Lazar💀💀 bro isn’t even making the team when everyone is healthy

Just send him down

I am not the coach. Colin Miller didn't beat him out in Lindy's eyes, and then got hurt. He hasn't been benched for Cal Foote either. Unless the devils trade for a legit dman RENTAL without giving up another dman, Smith will remain in the lineup as much as I hate it

COL isn’t trading Girard for that package minus Drouin. They may look to move him in the off season but they aren’t taking a package less than what they got for Newhook which was a 1st and 2nd Bahl isn’t worth a 1st.

Easy no for the Avs whether they need to shed cap or not.

Bahl isn't good though.
