Sujet: Girard
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyCheatum</b></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.</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.
