lol its not that bad of an offer, i understand why Avs fans says no but cmon. Grigorenko isnt really anything special. Tops out as a decent top 6 at best.
Even if that is his best scenario(It's not, dont act like you've actually watched the kid the past year), that's a hell of a lot better then anything else involved in the trade.
McIlrath and Siemens are both busts, career AHL Dmen or MAYBE #6/7 options one day.
Fast is a solid 4th liner who can play on the 3rd line if a team is hurt with injuries or lacks depth. But he's nowhere close to being a Top 6 or even a quality Top 9 guy.
Grigorenko is a better player today, he took some big steps forward last year, and has continued with those steps forward so far this year. He doesn't have much value league wide right now, but he has a lot of value to the Avs and we dont have any reason to move him at all right now.
Instead we can just watch and see what he can turn himself into. A regular 55-60 point player is something he is capable of becoming.
