Not getting into a full blown discussion about this but are you kidding me? He’s not allowed to have his own beliefs? He had every right not to wear a jersey supporting a certain belief he disagrees with.

Sujet: Reposting SEA-COL Trade From Avs Perspective
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>UpsideDownQue</b></div><div>Maybe value wise Avs fans don't like it but it's very clearly a roster upgrade this season at the expense of picks and age

Ask neutral fans and I think the majority will agree it's an upgrade, but the Avs fanbase really seem to overrated Girard (the upside is there and it's legit but based on his poor performance this season and last season I don't see how you can justify Girard making a team better than having both Gourde and Soucy)</div></div>

Yep, a lot is in the difference in how you value Girard compared to most Avs fans (and many neutrals). I just think it's a knee jerk reaction, and the Avs would come to regret it.

I should add that I never really liked the Kadri trade and look how that eventually turned out, so what do I know? LOL!

Sujet: Recoup the picks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>UpsideDownQue</b></div><div>Id move Girard for him in a heartbeat but thats probably more of an offseason type of move than a TDL trade. If Newhook doesnt become a 2C and the Avs dont make a move to get one then their forward core just isnt going to be good enough come playoff time. Girard isnt even playing like a $5M player right now (and last year) and as a LD he plays the Avs deepest position. With Byram and Toews already on LD having Girard is kind of a waste of cap when theres such a big hole at an important position like 2C

(yes I realize he just scored the OT winner lol but still)</div></div>

Agreed. No way trading the #1 next year, but Bennett for Girard and a couple of picks -- maybe something like the 2024 4th and 2025 2nd -- or a pick and a Ranta-type prospect would work. For the Panthers, Girard is a huge upgrade over every LD in Florida besides Forsling. In Colorado, I'm liking what I'm seeing out of Englund and if the Avs decide to get another D at the TDL, Bennett makes $500k less than Girard, so they'll have some $$ to work with.

Sujet: A more conservative deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>UpsideDownQue</b></div><div>I'm pretty sure Colorado just did that with Dryden Hunt</div></div>

Looks like I slightly misread the rules on waivers. Below is an excerpt from thehockeywriters.com

"Can You Trade a Player Claimed off Waivers?
Players who are claimed off waivers must be offered to the other teams that placed an original claim before that player can be traded.

For example, if a player is placed on waivers and three teams place a claim on him. The team lowest in the standards gets first dibs. If they then decide to trade the player, he would first have to be passed on by the other two teams. If a team places a claim, he’d be theirs. If not, he can be traded."

So, if we were the only team to have placed a claim on Leason, then yes, we could trade him, if anyone else put in a claim then no. I have no idea if its even possible to see who all placed a claim on a player.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>UpsideDownQue</b></div><div>With Murray on LTIR what to Leafs and Isles fans think of a Varlamov trade? Sorokin seems ready for a heavy workload now anyway

I imagine the price would be something similar to the Fleury trade last year: 2nd rounder than can upgrade to a 1st if the Leafs go to the conference final and Varly has 4+ wins in the first 2 rounds? Maybe Leafs add something on top for retention (by the Isles or another team)?</div></div>
