Flames fans: Avs add
Avs fans: 50/50 split between accepting outright due to value and not wanting to trade Duchene.
There we go, that about sums up however many pages this turns into.

Avs fan here knows Gaudreau has more value. Wouldn't be worth it for Colorado to consolidate assets to make it work from our end.

Avs have fought very hard to have their salary structure in place. The current ceiling is MacKinnon at $6.3M/year for the next seven years. I don't think Gaudreau would be a particularly good fit with that in mind unless he's willing to sign for low $6M cap hit.
Flames fan ... Uhmm I keep Johnny Hockey and his contract wants won't last... I don't believe he wants 8m, I think his agent wants 8m, I believe he'll sign for 7-7.5m/6-8 years

Would rather add a second to Gaudreau to obtain Mackinnon. Gaudreau is the better player but Mack has the better contract
Gaudreau plus second for Mackinnon
Gaudreau plus second for Mackinnon
I think after seeing the way these two play together, the point of any trade involving one of these two kids would be to put them together
I would move Duchene + to get Gaudreau, but wouldn't move Mackinnon for Gaudreau+ because I would want Gaudreau to play with Mackinnon.

In this case if Mack was off the table completly I believe that Landy would be the better fit than Duchene. Landy plus something may work better for the Flames considering what we already have at center.

Eh...Gaudreau being a winger hurts value in a vacuum but he's the more offensively gifted player. Realistically, I'd kill to see Duchene with Gaudreau.
I don't want to give up Duchene but he'd definitely be the cost for a guy like Gaudreau.
Flames fans will insist the Avs add heavily even though at best it's a small add.
Flames fans rightfully say no though. Same with Avs fans.

And Mackinnon would make Gaudreau a 90+ point player.
They go hand in hand with each other and really feed off of each others play style. It's why Mack was so good with Drouin in Junior and now Gaudreau at this world cup. He works great with players like that.
Obviously as an Avs fan I'd be extremely excited to bring Gaudreau in to the Avs, but it's not worth overpaying for.
We may have a guy in our system who can fill that role on Macks line in a couple of years in Tyson Jost anyway.
How about a Mack + dman with low cap for Giordano +Bennett
What dman would Avs need to add? Maybe a pick added On a side? But as a flames I'd want a #3 coming back or a #4 and a pick?
