Doesn't seem like quite enough for Girard, and also too much for Schmaltz. Although I would love if we acquired those two guys.

Move the 3rd round pick from the Schmaltz trade to the Girard trade?

I'd rather take out Chinakhov in that deal. And I think COL would be able to get a 1st for Girard if they were moving him.

An AGM from earlier today from pwisch had both these trade targets. He had Boqvist in the Girard deal with a 2nd, which I think would work. https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/4166749

I don't think Colorado have to cut cap space this summer anymore now that Landeskog has already been announced to be out all next year. They now have the cap space to retool and don't have to move anyone out. Only team I can see moving Defenseman are Chicago (Murphy) and maybe Calgary (Hanifin IF he says he doesn't want to sign an extension this summer).

I don't know, they still have Mac's salary getting doubled and lot of guys to re-sign including Compher, Newhook and Byram.

They have 20.3 mil in cap space and I think those 3 will cost around 10-12 mil of that depending on if some are bridge contracts or not. So 9 mil left over to sign 6-7 players to fill out the rest of the team which is very doable.

Yeah, it's definitely doable. This is going to be such an interesting summer with the cap tightness. I really hope Jarmo can take advantage of someone in a tough spot. Maybe offer sheet Byram or something crazy.

I'm hoping for a K'Andre Miller offer sheet myself lol

Avs decline. I think they would have before and now with the LTIR space and no need to move anyone they definitely should.
