Hard pass on Bura. He’s soft as shit and inconsistent as they come. Super talented player though.

Burakovsky is intriguing, but as I said on twitter earlier, it would have to be a swap and I don't see the Caps being interested. You wouldn't pay up something of real value there.

The Avs wouldn't use Jost in that sort of trade... Ghetto, Barbario, and Wilson are the only possible names I could see. Now that I type that out... Wilson could make some sense if he ever gets healthy. Avs would have retain, but no biggie there.
I would think if the Avs would be amenable to a rental I'd like for them to target a decent 3rd/4th line center who plays well defensively who would allow Soda to play higher in the lineup, preferably with Compher/Kerfoot.
Problem is...I don't see how they pull that one off without taking a bad contract in return. I suppose if they could wrest Laughton away from Philly that might fit the bill, but I've no idea what his status is with the organization and what kind of contract he has.

Ghetto for Bura wouldn't be bad. We'd have to add something small maybe, but I mean it'd give us some skill in the bottom 9. Still his inconsistency scares me off.

I’m genuinely upset we didn’t get Skinner.

He blocked all trades apart from the Buffalo one according to reports. He's not an idiot, he knew he'll get to play with Eichel and cash in. He could be a target come July, but he will also get a pretty penny.

I never heard he blocked us though. I can't imagine he'd block a trade when he could play with MacKinnon/Landy/Mikko.
Yesh, we weren't mentioned, but he sure wouldn't expect to play with those guys at ES, and I doubt the prospect of playing with Kerfoot or Jost would have been enticing as playing with Eichel.

He's reportedly happy playing in Buffalo, where he's close to his home in the GTA. I've no idea if the Avs had a legit shot at him or not, I'm sure they asked about his availability. But I doubt, if he blocked trades elsewhere to go play for last season's worst team, that he didn't have his reasons to go there. Did the Avs miss some opportunities to add scoring depth this offseason? Probably. But this one--I don't think at least--was one of them.

I’d prefer to keep Nitro honestly. Ghetto or Wilson is who we should move in a Bura trade.

What about Grubauer for Bura and Orpik?

I like Nieto, just thinking from the Caps perspective what players could get it done.
