<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>earl08</b></div><div>Behrens is a priority for CMac &amp; Malinski is basically a lock to start. I don't see a need to add any other starting D. I also think if anyone is traded, its one of the 2nd pair; CMac doesn't have a built-in rplc at 3C. However, he could prob get away with Kovalenko at 3C in a pinch. Whoever is moved doesn't have to be replaced right away; they could get picks to be swapped for a rental later. I think rentals are going to become a thing going forward for the Avs</div></div>

Signing Behrens may be a priority, but that doesn't mean he jumps straight to the NHL. And I'm increasingly hesitant to say Malinski has a spot. He might, but I'm not as sure as I once was.

In any case, I can't see them moving another top 4 dman after having already done so with Byram. If the team is forced to move out salary, Colton is the easiest to replace.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Burnout</b></div><div>Ross Colton is not a cap dump, but Montreal wouldn't want him.



I don't think any rebuilding team is all that interested in taking on cap space to improve their bottom 6 C, especially given the term on Colton's contract. Montreal's hoping to get more than 25 games combined from Dvorak and Dach next season. Newhook has also started to show serious improvements at center since coming back from injury. Them, Suzuki and Evans means Montreal's unlikely to be in the market for a center who isn't either a young, true top-6 C or a guy with the potential to be that.

It doesn't really matter if Evans will be re-signed are not or what it would cost Montreal in a trade, Colton doesn't make sense as a trade target.</div></div>

I guess I don't really view them as a rebuilding team per se. They have a good young core and prospects that are up and coming. They just need to surround them with the right guys to help take the next step.

I can certainly see your point regarding Dvorak. Him and Colton are kind of redundant. Wasn't sure of his status and if he'll be back.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TJTwolf</b></div><div>You've disappointed me in that Monahan wasn't re-signed by MTL and traded to the Avs for their first round pick in 2026.

Not sure whether MTL would have interest in Colton but Kovacevic is definitely a guy the Avs should be looking at imo but I'd probably pass on the Manson for Laughton deal from the Avs PoV and keep Manson if possible and maybe give Trenin a shot at the 3C job (I like Walker but I'd rather keep Manson's nastiness and physicality over 'more of the same' in Walker and not sure JK has the nastiness of JM). Trenin hasn't really actually played that much at C though even if listed as one (or at least he hasn't taken many face offs which to me means he hasn't played C much) but then the same was true for Colton prior to this year. Yakov has definitely been the most impressive of the 'deadline' additions for me so far, and has a rep for taking other young Russians under his wing and might just have Kovalenko actually on his wing too.</div></div>

I think the team needs Walker more than you do. If Kovacevic can be Manson lite, then I think that's enough. Basically it comes down to if Manson + Malinski &gt; Kovacevic + Walker. Close call but I like the latter, and especially if Walker comes on a good deal.

Edit: Fair point about 3C. There are other options, one of which could be Trenin. Maybe even Kovalenko, although it's tough to say considering he hasn't played a single game yet.
