Yeah I think so too. Especially if any of their must haves are gone.
I was thinking what youngish player a team cant afford or wants to part ways with ...similar to Varly and Ej was out there and cant think of any

$5.5M is too much for Boedker. I'd go $4.5M, tops. I know he'll get more on the open market, though.

Pretty much. If they can't get a NHL player out of Bigras at this point the franchise should fold because they have zero hope at development. People forget how good he was for weeks.
Sakic said Boedker is going to see the market. He says that every year about guys they won't bring back. Didn't he say that about Hejda?
While I believe Sakic is telling the truth that they won't be big players in the July 1 names doesn't mean they are going to do nothing either. Radulov doesn't count in that, signing an entire AHL team, God forbid trades.
There might be a lot of forwards on their board but I bet the top target is a defenseman. If they trade their first outright for an ok roster player I'm going to need to take a long break.

Yeah I think id rather go with Yost or Keller or Mcleod over any of those guys.

Didn't Boedker say that he is not all about the money? I thought I read that what he wants most is to be a good fit on a team. He loves it in Colorado so it is not a stretch that he could take less to remain here.
Just finished reading Sakic's comments and to me it was really clear that he was going out of his way to mention July 1st which leaves signing Radulov before that date wide open.

Yeah but this is also ..likely... his last chance to make as much as possible.

The free agency market is thin this season, especially on defense. I think Colorado will help themselves via trade, as we've suspected.
I don't think Colorado will trade it's first round pick because doing so will add another asset to try to protect during next year's expansion draft.

All this team needs is a younger version of Beauch to play top line LD. Doesn't even have to be a star LD either big trade type. Someone who won't cost a arm and leg. Beauch was good until about game 60 then got gassed. Get someone similar with younger legs and it might be the only move we really need.

Marc Staal
Jack Johnson
Alex Edler
All could be had for something not entirely drastic I would think.
Staal/EJ
Beauch/Barrie
Zadorov/Bigras
Gelinas
Holden

A fix-it trade is worse because we don't have assets to burn for ok upgrades. The idea of that seriously keeps me up some nights. If they HAVE to make a trade I pretty much prefer a big one at this point.

You realize thats impossible. Even a poorish D man is going to cost more than we can pay...
one because Dmen of some actual NHL ability are prized like gold
two because its us and GMs know the Avs hunger for skilled D men and will make us pay through the nose.
So the Avs have two options , either pay those prices or wait and see if the kiddies can do the job.
None of the three you listed are similar.
Edler would cost a ton. He's only 30. Has a decent contract and is a top pairing dman.
Jack Johnson is atrocious defensively and literally nothing like Beauch. He may work in Colorado but I personally don't want to see them try.
Staal is legit trash. I'd kill myself if they traded for him. I'd rather play Beauchemin over Staal anyday.

It's really hard to understand what the plan is for Sakic and Roy. They're saying they won't be active in free agency and they aren't planning to resign Boedker and Matthias, and I really doubt that they are trading Duchene, I don't even wanna imagine next year's line up but if there are no changes its gonna be pretty ugly.

Not sure why the hate on Staal. he's under 6 a year as well. He's better than ANYTHING we currently have as a LD.

Staal has a NMC and his contract lasts for 5 more years and then on top of that we are just throwing our #10 in the trash.

Why would you trade Nick Holden and a TOP pick in the draft for a defenseman who is now worse than Nick Holden by every metric under the sun and more than 3 times more expensive. Marc Staal is not a viable trade option in the least. He is a contract albatross and a cap dump who has been in serious decline ever since signing his last contract.

Damn. Is he really that bad? I'll admit I haven't seen him place much but the games I did see he looked good.

Im indifferent to him tbh. But with all his issues and cap hit and length plus the assets it would take to acquire just him ...ugh no way.

He's toast. It's basically over for him and between him and Girardi the Rangers have a very real problem.
