I feel like this trade on day one is a better deal for the Sens than it is the Avs. At most I would add some retention onto Brown since he only has 1 year left. Shouldn't hurt the Sens at all considering it's highly likely they won't be competitive next season either. The big payout for the Avs would be Brannstrom finding his game at the NHL level, and with the Avs recent history with defenseman I think they could get the most out of him<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheBoyDuddus</b></div><div>I don’t mind the value on the trade but the fit is questionable for Ottawa given that Chabot and Sanderson will be patrolling the left side next year. That’s without mentioning the fact that Ottawa already passed on Girard once with the Duchene trade. Obviously things can change but if he was a priority then, he would’ve been a senator already.</div></div>

Girard can play the right side if they choose to put him over there instead, but I get where you're coming from. As for the initial trade, the Sens had just went to the conference finals and were looking to upgrade over Turris with that deal. Defense wasn't a problem in the Sens eyes at that time.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aldore</b></div><div>I think you could probably scrap Mikhevev and trade compher, pay lehky a little less, maybe Val a little less and bring back both. Granted, if you did that, keeping Mack would be tough and that’s obviously most important.</div></div>

As much as I would love to bring back Nichushkin for less, he's going to be a very hot commodity if he hits the open market. Avs are going to have to pay up a little bit or else they'll be outbidded. Same deal with Manson who I doubt returns, but I would love for him to. The Defensemen market is brutal this offseason, especially on the right side, so some team will do something irresponsible to land him. As for the Compher part While I don't disagree, but I feel like the organization might disagree with you there. Mikheyev is just a winger I really like lol

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jdirector19</b></div><div>Fair points. Sammy also looked really good in the playoffs before breaking his sternum, so it's not like I'm down on him at all. I just think the Avs are going to struggle to find a good solution at 2C with Naz likely gone. Maybe you ask the isles to retain some salary or throw in some picks/prospects. I think Pageau would fit in really well on a line with nuke and lehky, that would be a pretty unbeatable shutdown line. The avs have also shown they get career high production of a lot of guys they bring in (nuke, kadri, burky, etc.) so I think we'd see his production go up but again I think we want him because of the defensive aspects.</div></div>

If Girard gets traded, I would imagine it doesn't become a question until next summer barring any major desire to keep most of this years UFA's around. I think there is a world where Erik Johnson retires this offseason which would help a lot, but I could see the Avs going with Newhook at 2C as well next year. Two shutdown guys like Lehky and Nuke could really help him develop his 200ft game

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jdirector19</b></div><div>As an Avs fan, I would love this trade and I think it would work for both teams.</div></div>

I disagree tbh. I like Pageau, he's a really good player who can play in all situations, but he's a 29 year old who carries the same cap hit as Girard. I think you could get more for Girard than Pagueau, and for a team whose defense is a large part of what makes them great, I don't think this 1-for-1 trade is fair value for the Avs here. Girard had a bad season, and it sounds like he played most of the regular season with a back injury of some kind, so I'm willing to say he'll have a bounceback season. Additionally, if we're moving a 24 year old dman, I would imagine the goal would be to relieve some cap space, and trading for a guy with the same cap hit who's 5 years older 1-for-1 just doesn't make sense to me.
