I would love to add Fiala if the deal was reasonable.Maybe Chris Kreider to the Avs. I remember Joe Sakic was interested in Max Pacioretty when Montreal was looking to move him last season. Pacioretty had the same amount of term left. Kreider is signed for another season. Kreider and Pacioretty are the same player. The Avs #1 pick, Tyson Jost or Martin Kaut and another asset for Kreider. They could use a D. Adam McQuaid would be an upgrade for them. That Avs #1 will be a mid first round pick. They might be miss the playoffs without an addition.
Mika Zibanejad is also what the Avs really need.
What would the Avs give up for a Kevin Hayes and Kreider package deal?
Kevin Fiala is having an awful season. Nashville can use any offensive contributions. Is Fiala available? He was an elite player last season. It's obvious Peter Laviolette has no use for him this season. The player's contract is up after this season. Can the Rangers get Fiala out of Nashville? The Predators can also use Kreider. The Jets have these big monsters and Nashville could use some size upfront.
This is from last season.
Creating a Monster: Why Kevin Fiala is Fundamental to Nashville’s Success
Hayes and Shattenkirk (with some money retained) for Barrie, Bowers Avs #1 and a conditional 2nd in 2020 if either Hayes resigns or Avs gets to the conference finals this season.
Barrie to the Leafs for their #1 and Grundstrom.
Have there been Barrie trade rumors this season?
There were tons of them last year but I assumed he was off the table now.
Serious question
Would anyone be upset if the Rangers traded Shattenkirk at this deadline while retaining half his cap hit? Obviously it would depend on the return but would anyone be vehemently against the idea?
I live in Nashville but rarely watch their games. But their centers collectively are underwhelming. A possible 1st round out if something isn’t done to rectify the ship. And yes Kreider would fit in well here.
I want to give the minutes to Pionk and ADA, so yeah. If we're retaining 50% for the remainder of the contract, I'd hope for some decent futures.Serious question

I'd do it. Not sure Colorado does.Hayes, Fast and Kreider for Makar, Bowers and Jost.
Who says no?
It’s not that long of a contract and I don’t think we will need tremendous amounts of cap space (unless we want to go get EK and Panarin maybe? Not sure as haven’t checked cap friendly or anything like that) so I actually like the idea in theory.Serious question

I don’t know much about Makar aside from his lofty draft status. Has he been the “real deal” in his D+ seasons?I'd do it. Not sure Colorado does.
Hayes, Fast and Kreider for Makar, Bowers and Jost.

Liljegren is available from Toronto. He'd be a good pickup, I remember a lot of this board wanting to draft him in 2017.
Bowers would be another solid prospect for this system. He’d be another in the mold of Howden who projects as a nice middle-6 forward. I’d be interested in him for sure.
I would really like to get Jost though.
Don't think I would. Maybe at next season's TD.Serious question

Love Liljegren. Was projected top-3 for a while but dropped in his draft year due to mono
I've lost a bit of interest in Liljegren. He is more and more trending in an direction to become a pure PP specialist. He could have value as such, sure, but there are so many younger PMDs coming up. Liljegren isn't showing much speed coming out of his own end and so forth, he isn't adopting that dynamic modern skating game offensively.
I actually like TDA more than Liljegren.

Or you can pay 6.5 for the next two years.I think retaining half is too much. He makes what $6mil? Still have Giriardi's hit next season. That over $6mil in cap space for two players then wouldn't even be here
