Friedman:
What colorado has apparently told people is don’t ask about Nathan MacKinnon, don’t ask about Mikko Rantanen, who was their #1 pick last year. Now if you’re asking about a Duchene or Landeskog, and from what I understand teams have been told; look, we’re not giving these guys away because we’re panicking, if you want to come at us with young defensmen, good young defensmen or good young defensive prospects, we are prepared to listen, but the packages will have to be big because they see Duchene and Landeskog as good players signed to good contracts. I think Colorado is only going to do it if we look at the trade and say, “ah, I understand why they would do it."

As an Avs fan I really like the sound of that quote. Decent offers are welcomed, no panic moves. Don't bother with scraps anymore, thank you
I'd personally look for players like Hanifin, Slavin, Lindholm, Fowler and Hamonic etc. as the bases of possible deals. Trading for RHD is not a problem for most Avs fans, as that would give us the possibility to trade Barrie or make him play LD. So don't worry about it.
