And we wouldn’t even save money on making that swap.The only way we would be in on Tkachuk is if we let Landeskog go. It's not going to happen, so stop.

Does Draisaitl care about playing 2nd fiddle to McDavid? Malkin to Crosby? Tavares to Matthews? Backstrom to Kuznetsov?Does anyone think Eichel wants to play 2nd fiddle to anyone? I don't feel like he would.
How would Mack feel with multiple people making more than one him and dies that impact his next contract negotiations?
I'm not convinced Danault can be a 2C here. I get what people are talking about as far as him just feeding his wingers, but if he's not a scoring threat himself....
We need out ELCs so much right now. We can't really deal much from that pool of players.

These things always have ways of working. Especially if you loaded up PP1 with all of Eichel, MacKinnon, Rantanen and Landeskog.
I still want Sakic to go all in on Eichel. Don't know how he does it, but would love for it to happen. A one-two punch of MacKinnon/Eichel down the middle for at minimum the next two Stanley Cup runs is too good to pass up.
And then you say goodbye to Landy and Gru so you can fit Jack's $10M cap hit on the team. The only way to trade for Eichel would be to trade Rantanen + for him, and no way would I do that. I'd rather just move Rants to 2C than trade him for Eichel.Newhook, Graves, 1st, Ranta, Kaut, Kovalenko
Are we playing the "most embarrassing Avs moments" game here?
I win.
You really think you're getting Seth Jones for a B+ level prospect, a ? 2nd liner with one year until ufa, a broken EJ , and a 1st?My idea of a perfect off season.
That’s the going rental price. Players like Girard and Byram don’t get moved for players with one year left on their contract.You really think you're getting Seth Jones for a B+ level prospect, a ? 2nd liner with one year until ufa, a broken EJ , and a 1st?
Girard or Byram would have to be the starting point. Most likely something like Girard, Kadri (salary purposes), Barron, and a 1st. You got to give to get a quality player like Jones.
The package you suggested gets beat by every single team in the league.
Karlsson traded to Sharks by SenatorsThat’s the going rental price. Players like Girard and Byram don’t get moved for players with one year left on their contract.
CBJ is desperate for Centre’s, Kadri would be a 1C on that team. EJ replaces Seth Jones in their line up and they get a 1st and a potential top 4 defenseman.
What piece in that trade is equivalent to a Girard or Byram? Seth Jones is also not the caliber of Erik Kalrsson at the time of the trade. At the time of that trade people thought Ottawa practically gave Karlsson away for free

Avs need to solve center prior to worrying about wings. I'd kill for the Avs to have JGP or Trocheck right now... and if that was the case, the Avs would still be playing.
I didn’t think much of Norris, obviously I was proven wrong but I still think Byram is much more highly touted than Norris was at the time.I think people are kinda morons. I got the run trying to state how good of a prospect Norris was and he's a similar level of prospect as Byram now. Byram looks like a future 2/3D. Norris was in that high end 2C sort of prospect. That isn't dissimilar. Now G has more value than both by a good amount because he's a top pairing guy on a sweetheart deal. It would be a massive overcorrection by the Avs to send G for Jones IMO. Tierney was a younger middle 6 center and DeMelo was a low end top 4 guy that Ottawa got slagged for because he wasn't qualified. Without the expectation of that pick becoming what it did, Ottawa got a haul.

Obviously not our concern but that would make Calgary even softer and smaller and this is a Darryl Sutter coached team . Don’t think they accept at allThat Tkachuk contract is ugly but he would be a such a welcome addition to the forward corp. He would be our "Lemiuex". Would trade Burakovsky+ in a heartbeat for him if somehow Sakic could pull off his magic.
Burakovsky + Girard for Tkachuk and a defensemen
The sex is great?Watching Tyson Barrie play hockey reminds me of the time I dated a bipolar girl.
I didn’t think much of Norris, obviously I was proven wrong but I still think Byram is much more highly touted than Norris was at the time.
I think he's more highly touted by hockey media for sure... not sure if he's better. I think the disconnect between what front offices value and how they rate players compared to fans and media is underestimated.
Go back to when the salary cap was implemented and look at all of the teams to win with their 1/2 C's:So, that's 50/50ish on cup wins. Without a flat cap. I have no interest in becoming TML west or Edmonton.
I've thought about how great Eichel would be, but I worry about where our depth ends up with the assets lost and possibly players to lose due to cap.
I get that players like Eichel aren't available often, but I also think Sakic can dig up a 2C that's cheaper and add other complimentary players.
I guess we'll see. It could work well.
