Maybe back when they were closer to a playoff spot, but I doubt they'd do it at this point. Simmonds will get more at the TDL from a contender than Varly will. Not a lot of buyers end up needing goal-tending lol.

If they were going to trade Varly it should have been 6-8 weeks ago, as I said then, when every team was in it, many teams clearly desperately needed goaltending, and Varly was healthy and playing lights out hockey. Now he’s struggling, some teams have seemingly resolved their issues, and others might be less keen. Don’t think he’ll be traded, and if he was I wouldn’t expect much anymore.

Yep the timing is not ideal. Only a season ending injury to a starter on a contender could change things now.

Id like Sakic to wait on Varly and try to look at trading 2/3 of Jofooto. Jost/Kerf/Ghetto in a 2 for 1 upgrade.

Not quite the type of C I was thinking of. Brassard isn't really working out as the 3C (he's more of a 2C) and was thinking that swapping him for a more traditional 3C could be a possibility. Wilson's versatility and contract status jumped out at me.
Soderberg is interesting too, but the contract makes it kinda complicated. No clue if the Avs would move him, but I know he had it real rough last season.

Soderberg isn't available but he's probably the perfect C for the Penguins if used properly. Bednar is using him strictly as a shutdown C (sort of how Sullivan is misusing Brassard) but he'd bring good offense with the right linemates and the right zone starts.
These teams are bad trading partners. Brassard is more of what the Avs already have so I doubt there's real interest there, and none of the options the Avs have available for the Penguins would really move the needle in a trade. They have a lot of "more valuable to the team than to anyone else" players like Jost, Zadorov, Kerfoot, etc.

He looked great there...when he played for BU. This year, he’s been at his best as a right wing.

He was really good last year. This year the points are down and he’s a -8, but look which team he’s playing for.

I can see Sakic moving Greer and a 2nd for Frolik. Or Jost for Frolik and a 3rd.
Responsible vet who you don't want in your top 6 but whom every team will try to use in the top 6.
Seems like the perfect do nothing move that won't solve any problems.

The whole team sucked that year. Soderberg is a workhorse and a very, very good 3C. He's our 4th best forward and we need him.

He played mostly LW/RW in his time here, and now he's hurt long term, so it's unlikely he'll play center in the near future. IDK how long he's supposed to be out but hopefully he comes back in time to put a strong end of the season together for his contract year. I doubt they retain him but he can probably be a fine utility bottom sixer somewhere for the right money. He was just miscast here as a 2LW.
You said Tavares didn't want to talk about a contract extension during the season. I provided a link proving exactly the opposite. He had absolutely no issue discussing an extension during the season and did have negotiations all throughout the year with the Islanders. Including telling the Islanders not to trade him at the deadline because he wanted to stay.
The point is listening to anything NHL players say to the media about this stuff is incredibly stupid. They have the same 2-3 different things that they all say and none of it is important at all. Whether they say they dont want to talk extension during the year or whether they hope to be a part of the organization going forward or whatever they say it does not matter at all. It's all just useless talk they say to keep the media from knowing what's really going on beyond closed doors.

Remember when Stastny said he'd be willing to take a discount to stay, and then left for St. Louis? Yeah.
Exactly. What these players say to the media, hell what the GMs say to the media as well, means absolutely nothing.
Remember when Dorion said the plan was to sign Erik Karlsson on July 1st and then on July 1st how he said they gave him a fair offer and the ball was in EKs court and 2 months later he was traded.
What these guys say to the media literally means absolutely nothing.

I remember when people here thought he'd take a discount and then left for STL. I also remember when people thought he'd take a discount to come back and then signed with Vegas.
If Stasny said he'd take a discount to stay I don't remember it.
