I wouldn't do it if I was the avs. Remember there are 31 picks/round now. So the 2nd is basically could be the same as a high 3rd if the habs come out of the east.

 

[Legend123]

yay another col/mtl thread. No trade will happen, cetainly not that one. Mtl aint giving away free second rounders.

 

[CHaracter79]

Colborne adds depth and size to our Center pos

Yes but I'm asking for Colborne so you know.. Value and stuff

Colborne adds depth and size to our Center pos

but he didn't play centre last year, and hasn't played much there this year either.

Even better spot him on the left and keep Danault as third C

Why would the Habs want Colborne?

 

[CHaracter79]

Why would the Habs want Colborne?

Size, depth on the wing and Center and can still put up points.

Originally i wanted to ask for grigorenko but figured they wouldn't want DD for him

Does he use his size? Can he backcheck? He had one good season after being bounced around...

The last two seasons he's on a 42-47 point average. Pp time minimal

Decent defensively. Uses size lore then patches if that held

Colborne's much better at right wing than at center.

 

[mariolemieux66]

Wouldn't it be better to give McCarron a try instead?

Def, also he's better than Pleks and DD

 

[Spilot23]

The question should be why would the Avs wants Desharnais

 

[Legend123]

The question should be why would the Avs wants Desharnais

to get urself a second?

 

[Skip2myBordyloo]

I'd do it.

Unlike Colborne, his contract is expiring at the end of the year. I'd do it too but Habs wouldn't do it.

As opposed to the pos Center the Habs would be sending the other way.

Yeah my bad thought that contract was still up for next year.. this is enticing tho if we don't get into playoffs. I think we have a chance when Dutchy and Landy are there but it's a long shot so yeah I would do it

 

[Cousin Eddie]

I'd do it as an Avs fan.

 

[hockeyheadlines]

Realistically, Colborne is a 30 points guy, year in, year out. If he's playing the right side, not much use for us, as we're good to go at that position.

Looks to me he's another third liner and we have our fill of those.

 

[Lonewolfe2015]

I'd do it.

Me too. Rather have Greer, Compher or someone else and the 2nd.

 

[IWantSakicAsMyGM]

Colborne has played <20 games for the Avs, after signing a 2 year deal as a UFA. Trading him now, for a pick and a cap dump, might not send the best signal to future UFAs who are considering coming to Denver.

So, while the value is good, I'm not sure it's in the Avs best interest to do this yet. Maybe at the TDL, but not yet.

 

[kingdok]

That'd be throwing a 2nd rounder in the garbage. Habs need those at the trade deadline
