Avs decline. IF a trade with Calgary was made I would bank on it, that Ritchie would not be included.

Avs are not paying that absurd price for a handful of games from Lindholm

Reasonable enough price for Markstrom

Guessing Calgary isn’t getting anything for Greer after the last game

you're not getting lohrei and a first for hanifin. its one or the other.

Avs decline

Edmonton is probably going to run with Pickard as the backup with how good he has been playing.

Right. And if they weren't, Vladar and his .888 sv% would not be on their radar as a replacement. Certainly not one that would command 2 very nice prospects.

Ridiculous ask from Edmonton. Hard pass.

My assumption is if Lohrei is included, we would probably be willing to add a second round pick. I don’t see a first.

yup he's legit the Avs only center prospect. trading a position of weakness would be shortsighted. the blueline is another story however.

Yep; nothing else of note up front although, if they really cared to try, they could probably get Olausson and Foudy to be useful players. But they don't care so, oh well. Actually, Kovalenko could turn to to be a good player so he's definitely not on the table, either. Behrens is likely on the table as a chip and maybe even Gulyayev but he won't be particularly attractive considering he can't come to NA for another two years after this season.

I'm fine moving Olausson. The Avs top 9 wingers are locked up long term there's not much room.
I think Foudy oozes Avalanche hockey so I hope he stays. I remember it was said at the draft that he was the best skater out of everyone and he's showed it.
Agree, Behrens seems like the obvious chip to go.
The Avs made a point to pick twice in the 1st round last summer so I don't see them moving either of those guys.
