I mean......why wait? Give him more time to mesh with the locker room and don't allow other teams to swoop in last minute at the deadline. Just go ahead and get it done today, Joe

Hardly a believable argument.
Considering that LA and Anaheim, two of the worst teams in our division, were both above 50%. And Minnesota was a putrid 46%. They were also above 50% in the playoffs. I can just go back further as well. In 19/20 the Avs were right around league average at 49.6% and were above 50% in the playoffs
Honestly, you can pretty much attribute the Avs struggles on faceoffs this year to one thing, which is simply replacing PEB as one of our main faceoff guys with Alex Newhook. Everything else is essentially the same with regards to the main faceoff takers, except Newhook as 3C and PEB gone as the 4C.
One good faceoff guy is all it would take to turn the Avs from a bottom 5 team to a league average or better team. And, one good faceoff guy is all you need to give your team a better chance to win the few key faceoffs that matter.
Add Giroux, and you solve that "issue" which statistically isn't even an issue.
If that's all it is, I'm more than good with it, even if it's just a rental.

I think it's two separate statements. Canucks have an interest in Zacha and have been talking trade with the Devils. Canucks and Washington are also talking. Not about Zacha, obviously, but about pieces from Vancouver to help boost Washington (e.g. Miller).So the Canucks have interest in him but watch out for Vancouver…
Some people on twitter don't know how to phrase anything.

Ideally we wouldn't have to use top 6 forwards on the PK at all to keep them fresher for 5v5 and PP's.
Can we trade for Giroux and have him in the lineup by Wednesday?

I think I'd be more excited at JTC leaving than Giroux coming. Imagine not having to worry about JTC at center in the playoffs. The relief.
Giroux will cost way more than that especially if they are retaining salary.

Yes! And if someone want's more ginger in their life, they can always watch Gilligan's Island re-runs.
Edit - Nevermind. Giroux has the ginger thing going. In that case, it will be nice to have a ginger upgrade.

Yannick St. Pierre (aka Draft Dynasty YT channel) made a draft video promoting Emil Heinemann as a "hidden gem" worthy of a 1st round pick, and was later hired by Montreal as a video scout last year. I'll bet he had a big part in Montreal targeting him as the prospect. Stylistically he's a lot like Lehkonen due to his smart and relentless forechecking, but also has some offensive upside. I also drafted him in the Avs board mock as you may recall
Guessing they're pretty high on Heinemann, due to what I said above. Sometimes all it takes is for one scout to be in love with a prospect for them to carry more weight in a trade.
Avs simply have to make a move up front now though. Vegas forward depth as it stands blows ours completely out of the water.
Saw on twitter when Stone comes back in the playoffs they'll likely have lines that look like:
Dadonov - Eichel - Stone
Smith - Karlsson - Marchessault
Patches - Stephenson - Janmark
Carrier - Roy - Kolesar
Avs cant match that depth without adding at least one Top 9 forward.

Yes to everything you said (trust me, I focused on the same things). And indeed you did pick him.
Maybe you should start putting material on youtube?
But I'll be honest, since YSP was hired by the previous leadership, I had semi-wondered if he might be a casualty and no longer have a voice. I

Swap Jost for Compher and the 2nd for a conditional 3rd (if win the cup = yes then Philly gets the pick)
Jtc, 1st, Helleson, conditional 3rd

Yes and no. The earlier you trade for him the more cap space you need available to fit him, or the more retention you need on him to get it to work.
Plus even if it makes sense for the Avs, it might not make sense for Philly.

It’ll be easier to squeeze him in cap wise if they wait.
