Same. Hayes is Soda but an actual 2C. Henrique is a good 3C though but at that contract I’ll pass.

Hayes at ~6 is more realistic. If he gets 7 I don’t touch that unless it’s a short term deal.

Bonino would get moved before Turris. Turris as a 3C wouldn’t be bad. Or you just put Duchene at RW where he’s also very capable.

Yeah I thought he was a UFA after this season. His upcoming contract isn’t great.

I think Hayes will get close to that $7 million mark over 6 years if he finishes strong. He's only 26, he's on pace for 70 points, he's a two-way force and he's versatile and he's gotten better ever year. It definitely sounds like an overpayment but that's the price you have to pay to play in free agency.
I don't think getting Jack Hughes should change our desire to sign an impact free agent forward who has some size and two-way ability. A Bednar blender second line of Hughes with some combo of Kerfoot, Jost, Ghetto, etc is still the same problem as now just with more talent.
Doesn't have to be Hayes but he ticks a lot of boxes.

The Duchene to Preds trade has to be !st + Tolvanen but the 3rd piece is the confusing one. Fabbro?

The mandate for a top six forward should not change regardless of who the Avs draft. The team needs two top six forwards, not one. If they draft one top six forward they still need another. And in the hypothetical they get Hughes / Kakko, you don't just stick one of them out there with the rest of the crappy tweeners on the team and hope for the best. MacK spent his first season riding shotgun to Stastny and Landeskog. Hayes would be a very good get in FA.
In the interests of development and of trying to compete simultaneously the Avs should be trying to recreate a similar situation if they luck into one of the two top picks who can play in the NHL next season.

Hayes makes a lot of sense. Good 2 way guy, adds size and skill to our 2nd line and if we’re lucky enough to get Hughes/Kakko than he’ll be able to insulate them on a line instead doing what we did to Jost.

No way will it be 3 pieces that big. I’d guess 1st+Tolvanen/Fabbro+3rd or something along those lines.

Sens could be looking at a nice haul.
Let’s throw out a couple of possible deals:
Duchene for Tolvanen, NSH 1st, random contract
Stone for Appleton, Comrie, WPG 1st
Probably a couple of conditions for extra picks if they extend with their new teams.
Not bad, but of course nothing as good as their 1st now in our hands.
I think if the Avs get Hughes it just changes the need for which players they should seek in free agency. If they get Hughes it lessens the need for a center and changes the focus to getting wingers. If they get Kakko then, yeah, get a legit 2nd line center. It's like the old saying goes, you draft the best player and don't think about positional needs and address the latter via trade or free agency.

I would love to get Hayes and Silfverberg for about $12m combined.
9296
Hughes/Kakko - Hayes - Silf
Jost/Kerf - Soda - JTC
Nieto - Kam/Toni - Calvert
Hayes and Silf give (hopefully)Hughes size and strong two-way play to go with talent. Strong bottom 6 as well, even if I would love more meat and potatoes over Nieto/Calvert.

I think Stone and Hayes should be our top 2 priorities in FA this year. Now Stone won’t come if we miss the playoffs imo but Hayes should be realistic. Even if we do get Hughes we can get Hayes. Hughes can play wing his rookie year like Mack did and when that time comes then Hayes can be the Soda replacement.

I like the look of that team. Then if Hughes adapts well than you could swap him and Landy then imagine that shutdown 2nd line. Beautiful.
Agreed, but I still suggest that Avs should be a player in July 1st. Instead of targeting like the 6th best defender and 18th best forward, we need to get a top 5 forward in free agency.
Yeah Henrique's contract isn't very good, but it is manageable. I think I would much prefer him at 5.8 million than Hayes at 7 million personally.
