Confirmed with Link: [COL/ARI] Avs Acquire G D.Kuemper($1m ret.) for D C.Timmins + 2022 COL 1st + 2024 COL 3rd(cond.)

Colin Wilson was overpaid for a third liner, too, and he was traded for a mid-round pick straight up. I realize the cap situation is not the same today as it was pre-pandemic but surely Compher could be moved for a similar return with only one year left on his deal. He's a useful player who's only overpaid by 1m or so.

Or you know, just waive him and someone will take him for free.

He's not good enough. I think he would pass waivers

Wilson was one year removed from a monster playoffs and showed a ceiling much higher than Compher. But the cap situation is really the key. Compher can be moved, but if you want all 3.5m off... you're adding a pick or prospect to the deal. If you can handle bringing somebody back, you can probably get a similar situation player on a mid to low 2s deal back. IE Compher for MDZ sort of trade.

At least they'd get a million in cap relief. I don't think anyone would take EJ either.

Maybe they can do Compher for MDZ, and the flip MDZ for a player with a slightly lower caphit, and then flip that player for another player with an even lower caphit, and keep repeating that until they can bury the full caphit in the minors...
