Going to go out on a limb and call this a giant hell no from Colorado.

 

[Kaen]

Not a chance from an Avs POV. Tatar had a great season, but you have to keep in mind that he's never had a season this productive before as a 29 year old. There is a good chance this season was his peak production. Plus he only has 1 year left on his contract, so while he's definitely a valuable player, he's not recent #4 overall valuable.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Oooof, I especially like the fact the Avs actually have to add to Byram in such a deal

Major swing and a miss.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

The audacity to ask Colorado to tack on 5th to this deal haha

Isn’t Tatar like 30? And who the f*** is Norlinder?

 

[Mrfenn92]

Colorado says no.

 

[IWantSakicAsMyGM]

I don't think there's anything Montreal could realistically offer that would give the Avs the incentive to move Byram. A soon to be 30 year old with one 60+ point season and a $5.3m cap hit, and a former 3rd round pick, doesn't even warrant consideration.

I mean, he’s 29, just had two extremely solid seasons, fills a positional need as a LW and still has another year at a very good cap hit + norlinder who just won top junior aged player in the Allsvenskan (he’s a legitimately good prospect)

None of that matters. The Avs aren't trading away the player they just selected in last year's draft 4th overall for a dude that will be UFA in 2021 and Mattias Norlinder.

Are you cool trading away Cole Caufield for a roster player that will hit UFA next summer and a prospect selected in the 3rd round last year?

 

[CB Joe]

Why would Montreal need Byram when they have Victor Mete?

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

That's hilarious.

MTL doesn't have the pieces to pry away Byram.

 

[Patagonia]

Mete will be banished to the bottom pairing, you can’t have that.

Tatar isn't a good enough piece to be the main asset in a deal for Byram.

After doing some research it does look like Norlinder is a solid prospect, but there is still no way I do that trade if I’m Colorado.

At 29 and only a year left on his contract Tatar doesn’t have a lot of value.

you actually looked him up and came back to give your updated opinion without flaming. I salute you good sir!

This is my thinking too.

It would cost Montreal a major overpayment to get Byram. So much, that a deal really wouldn’t make any sense for them to do it.

You don’t trade away a defenceman a year after he was drafted in the top-5.

 

[82Ninety42011]

Habs would need to offer 2020 and 2021 1st's to get Avs to stay on line. It's not happening Avs keep their stud prospect. Not knowing how the draft order will even be decided this season does not help either.

 

[tucker3434]

Nah, Byram and to a lesser extent Newhook are likely our last high end prospects for a while. We’re going to need them. I’d put almost all the rest if the futures out there in order to improve short term.

I would be open to discussion for a 28-29 years old top 4 lhd yes.
It's a different situation for the Avs, they have other bullets available for a Tatar trade. Also, Byram has more value then Caufield imo.

Suzuki and it's not happening.
OP is a trash offer.

One of those it so bad why even bother posting it posts

I get Avs doesn't touch this, but the bolded you'll get to know faster than you think.

There's absolutely no way the Avs does this. We Avs fans are already dreaming of a top 4 :
Byram-Makar
Girard-Timmins

Also would be a bad salary cap move to add another forward that would ask probably something around 6M$. Rather sign both Burakovsky and Nichushkin at probably close to that what Tatar will ask. Stay the course and sign Makar, Landeskog, Grubs and Mack soon.

There's enough capspace to add another $6m+ forward to the roster AND resign all of our key players. The only issue would be in 2023 with Mackinnon and Byram's deals, but at that stage Johnson ($6m), Compher ($3.5m), and Donskoi ($3.9m) will come off the books and we'll likely have replaced their roles internally by then (with Timmins/Helleson, Kaut, Bowers, Kovalenko, etc.
