Yeah I agree with all of this, I think Timmins looks awesome and I would love to have him in the lineup going forward, but Zadorov's value in the Playoffs is huge and we already have good young blueliners in Makar, Girard and Byram. I think that means Timmins is the guy who goes.
My prediction is Bowers, Timmins, Jost and a 1st. Which is a pretty damn good haul.
I also think there's a holdup in the deal somewhere... Otherwise it would be done by now. Maybe NJ demanding Byram... Avs saying Timmins.
Hold up is probably that this is way too much to give up for less than a year of Hall, that he has no intention of participating in any sort of sign and trade scenario which makes it impossible for Shero to get the return he wants right now and probably rules out the Avs in the first place given that they should not be in the business of paying a huge price for pure rentals, that the Avs can't really afford the 10M+x6-8 year extension Hall wants even if he would be willing to sign given that many of our young studs are due for a new contract fairly soon and that Sakic probably loves Timmins and especially Jost way more than you do...
Also Zads is a dead Av walking unfortunately due to the expansion draft comin up soon and Byram being on his way (similar IMO how Barrie was with Makar in the system). If Sakic makes a play for Hall, odds are high Zads will be involved unfortunately...
