If Ferland is available in Carolina I'd love the Avs to get their hands on him. I wouldn't be surprised if the guy is looking to cash in for too much money like how Tom Wilson did, but I started being a big fan when the Flames faced the Canucks in the playoffs and Ferland single-handedly threw the Canucks off their game. Much rather spend an extra 1-1.5 million there than on someone like Calvert.

Not Great, Bob!
And we're always like "wtf RD we need LD"
And then some are like "if we acquire RD we can move Barrie"
And then some are like "NO"
then we start this again

Ferland would be nice. No thanks on Hamilton.
There has to be something more to him than just museums if he's been traded and shopped this much.

If we're going to use a package of futures to get someone it shouldn't be a RHD.

Hockey doesn't always treat "individuals" all that kindly. I would guess him not being a huge locker room guy makes it easier for GM's to move on from him as it wont disrupt all that much, and with his name/skillset he still has value.

Why. We could use an actual top pairing quality guy on our top pairing.
I know we need secondary scoring but the fact is we also need a top defenseman. We have 3 1st line forwards. We don’t have a single top pairing defenseman.

Ok, so you'd have to think they are looking more for a 1 for 1 type of deal then. That team is looking for a top six forward just like we are. If he has that kind of value he is probably their best chip.
We do not have the appropriate return chip

He isn't a top pairing guy and we are overcrowded on the right side. We need 2nd line C, 2nd line LW, 2nd line RW and top pairing LHD.

Carolina want a guy who has the ability to potentially be a top line centre. I don’t think Jost does but a lot of others do. I think if they’re shopping Hamilton they’d definitely listen to a Jost + offer.
I think that is your hope talking not your brain, and I mean that in the most civil way possible. Just being blunt lol.
The only way a top pairing D gets moved in a package is if they're getting older and closer to an expiring contract coming from a rebuilding team, or if there is other issues. Only one of those could be true here.

Carolina might consider trading him for a top scorer. We don't have that and if we had we wouldn't trade him for Dougie Hamilton.

Why is a 2nd line more important than a top pair? We have Compher and arguably Soderberg as legit 2nd line players. We don’t have a single top pairing defenseman.
I completely see our need for better high end forward depth, but I don’t understand why so many people are neglecting the fact that we don’t have a top pairing defenseman. They play between 40 and 50 percent of the game and we don’t own one that’s legit.
We need #1D. LD or RD. To me that's our biggest need after which comes 2C.
That said, Hamilton isn't #1D. He can play top pairing tho.
Erik Karlsson however..

For the record, I liked the idea of trading for Pie, so I definitely see the need.
