I know you keep suggesting this but like if Grier wanted Badinka he would have drafted him. Obviously there’s the chance he wanted someone else but I just don’t see it. That’s not even factoring in that Canes won’t do it.

He went 34th
Look who dropped into our laps at 33

A guy who I had ranked below Badinka. Great.
Even ignoring why the sharks would do it, canes won’t.

With all due respect, y'all are insane. Blackwood is not getting a top-4 RHD prospect. We'd be lucky to get a 2nd round pick from a contender and are more likely to get a late 3rd rounder.

IMO yes. I had a 1st round grade on Badinka (ranked him something in the early-20's) and I caught a game of Morrow's in the AHL recently and he was very impressive (in addition to the fact that I've always liked him). If I were Carolina, I would laugh you off the phone for proposing that.

But you're not. And he didn't go mid 20's.
I certainly am not suggesting Morrow
I still expect Colorado to be the obvious destination. Kochetkov was playing fine and hes just day to day.
As of right now, in points per game, the Avs would be out of the playoffs despite ranking 9th in goals scored per game. they are 30th in GAA and dead last by a country mile in save %. This is clearly a PO team, arguably a cup contender, that is being destroyed by horrific goaltending. Both Giogiev and Annunen have practically identically horrible numbers, and you do NOT want Kaapo Kakhonen to be your #1 goalie or Trent Minor.
The avs have got to be shopping hard right now for a short term solution until one of the THREE goalies they drafted, including nabokov, can come over and take a stab at it.
The only prospect in their system that I see as worth hunting is Calum Richie, but I dont think they would trade him for a rental unless the sharks threw in at least a 2nd rounder or a good prospect of our own. Blackwood for Ritchie straight up will be way too rich for COL.
That said, COL cant sit back.
Blackwood+Lund+3rd rounder for Ritchie and Gieorgiev (for cap purposes)??
Avs get their upgrade in net. they get a little draft capital which they definitely lack (Likely a pick in the 60's), and a respectable 2nd round pick forward prospect who a point per game in NCAA. Sharks get another higher end forward prospect in case Musty, Haltunnen, Cherny, Gush, Bordy, graf, and Bystedt fail to make the NHL leap.
Not sure this is possible, but I think it fills holes on both teams.

If you take a guy 34th overall, it's because you had a first round grade on him. Badinka was probably in the teens on Carolina's internal list.

Apparently Chris Johnston says that Columbus is looking for a prospect, a pick and maybe a depth defender.
I foresee many “trade Ferraro” posts.

Chris Kreider is 33 yrs old. Contract is not bad at three more yrs including this year. He's currently injured and he has 9 G-0 A this year.
Despite all that, I still would like him if available.
Would solidify the Giants roster and add a Cy Young caliber player to combat the Dodgers great pitching staff.
