Sujet: DNVR center depth ova everything
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NMAvsFan</b></div><div>What the RyJo trade told me was the Avs aren't really interested in moving 1sts for help. They're going to look to take players off cap-strapped team's hands and find value wherever they can that doesn't cost them assets to acquire. A year of 34 y/o Backlund, even at half retained, isn't worth a 1st to Avs brass.</div></div>

Fair with Ryjo just acquired its tough to say, but crazy if you ask me.
He's one of the best defensive C in the league, and his cap hit isn't that bad and would likely extend at a capfriendly hit (lower) to potentially contend with the Avs.
That 1st round pick isn't going to help the Avs go for another cup in their current window, I'd expect the Avs to invest heavily in a C with Landeskog down for next year too.

Sujet: Everyone else is doing Tkachuk trades so why cant I
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JeffSkinnerFan53</b></div><div>Absolutely agree on the Eichel like starting point. However, what I’m trying to say is that star players tend to go for less than one would expect. Look at DeBrincat, Kovalchuk, even Gretzky… The only return I can think of we’re a team ridiculously over paid for a star player around this age is the Jeff Carter trade with Columbus, and we see how well that worked out for them.</div></div>

Every trade is different is all I can say.
Cant really compare a Gretzky/Kovalchuk trade as it happened in vastly different era's of hockey.

DeBrincat you can compare , but Tkachuk brings more than DeBrincat does in all aspects.
More points, more toughness, more nastyness etc.

I think CGY will get 3+ pieces of which are all high caliber/quality.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Joronto</b></div><div>I am not the one who want to trade him for Tkachuk. 😅

Your comment about Willy was inappropriate IMO. "Nobody wants a Nylander his contract" just does not correspond to reality.

Your Leafs view is obviously very negatively connoted - Toronto did not trade Kerfoot until now, because he is a Swiss army knife with an above average point production season for a mid 6 player; Strome just got paid $5M AAV. So it is not all about the cap even it would come in handy.</div></div>

My view may be negative, but its the reality of what the Toronto franchise has been the last few years.
Tkachuk doesn't really tip the needle in terms of what you need, I think defense should be your #1 priority if not Goaltending.

Kerfoot has average point production, he's not bad but he's a desirable asset in terms of what the Flames would need from a Tkachuk trade.
Flames need prospects + picks and need to get younger as they're basically facing a re-build/re-tool.

None of which Toronto can really help with.
