Proposal: Vancouver - Colorado

[Ledge And Dairy]

It's like you read what I wrote and completely ignored it. He is nothing like Rielly. He is nothing like Hughes. He plays like Spurgeon.

But Spurgeon is an excellent defensive dman and Girard is not. So I disagree with your analysis. I am not say8ng his is like Tyson Barrie where he is completely inept in his oen end nut he is far from elite defensively. Serviceable would be the right word

Again, you have no idea what kind of a player Sam Girard is. He has been lauded as a defense-first D since his days in the QMJHL, but you do you and post semi-legible one-liners.

 

[Patagonia]

What does that have to do with anything? I've seen Girard play many times.
Canucks aren't trading their captain and a 2nd round pick for a redundant player.

Girard is redundant. AVs need to change the offered player to RHD or prospects/picks.

I have a feeling this guy might be Girard……


Let’s be honest, yeah he is a good dman. Cool.
He is also an undersized dman who can’t handle net front battles and loses a good amount of board battles.
He moves the puck and has stick work like a beast. Great skating.
Defence is better than people think.
Offence isn’t as good as people think.

He isn’t amazing, and to be offended every time someone doesn’t say the exact same thing as you is dumb.

The guy is good, but not half as amazing as you think.

 

[Hasbro]

I am dying for Sakic to swindle Dim Jim.

Couldn’t wait for the trade deadline to pass so all these awful Vancouver proposals can stop.

Or better yet Benning to be fired so we don’t fear he does something stupid!

Please don’t get my hopes up.

 

[Nucklehead Supreme]

This thought for the trade is strenghtening both teams. Colorado has a very good blueline, but could use a Top6 player to split Rantanen/MacKinnon. They are top-heavy, but depth has been an issue. Now when MacKinnon has been out, Rantanen has still scored a lot as a C.
Vancouver could use another young puckmoving defender on a nice contract.

Colorado get:
- Bo Horvat 5.5M UFA 2023
- 2nd 2022

Vancouver get
- Samuel Girard 5.0M UFA 2027

Salaries are a wash. Vancouver add the pick because Girard is signed long-term. Byram will take Girards place on the team.

No thanks, please stop, as fans with no control over the team , we don't support trading one of our best players for Girard, who is not a need on this team.

Not Bo, not Petey, not Boeser, not Miller, please stop.

I don’t think Vancouver is just going to run it back much longer. Someone from your list above won’t be on Vancouver much longer. Really doubt Colorado is the trade partner though.

Moving Horvat is your best chance to actually win a trade. Should shop him to Minnesota and demand one of Rossi or Boldy in return. Take a cap dump like Rask to make the math work.

Horvat for Boldy, Rask and a second rounder?

I don't think you'll find a Wild fan that likes that lol

 

[nergish]

If Girard is a poor mans Hughes. Then Quinn Hughes is a homeless man’s Makar.

Sakic is a poor man's Yzerman.

 

[McJedi]

Gotta pay to play. Top six Cs in their prime don’t move teams for a collection of bit parts. Value for value. Or else, why would Vancouver trade him?

I agree but I think the Wild hold on to their prospects pretty tightly given their cap situation. If they wouldn't trade one of em for Eichel they surely don't for Horvat.

 

[2HunnidJoints]

Would Vancouver be interested in Byram or Toews + for Petterson?

Would Colorado be interested in trading Byram for Petterson? Seems...unlikely.

Byram is an LD. Vancouver doesn’t need any LDs. LOL.

Not this current flailing version of EP. that guy sucks. EP needs to get past his bad case of the yips.

 

[bossram]

Byram is an LD. Vancouver doesn’t need any LDs. LOL.

Any team, let alone a basement team that should be rebuilding like Vancouver, would be interested in Byram.

OEL is going to be a millstone. Having your top-two pairs led by Hughes and Bryam? Yeah, that'll do.

Finally blasted a classic Petey clap bomb tonight. Maybe gets him out of his funk.

No. Your fellow Canucks fans made it very clear, a LD is not what they need.

They have comparable potential probably. However, Byram isn’t underperforming and his salary is a lot less for the next couple of years.

If the asset being offered is Byram quality you take the LHD - this was never a realistic part of the discussion. Being obtuse because you don't like that Vancouver fans aren't willing to add to Horvat to get Girard - says a little something about you.

You'd have to add for Byram.

 

[Spilot23]

You'd have to add for Byram.

Nucks would have to believe that Byram is healthy to take that risk. But anyway if Byram is healthy he should be on the untouchable list considering how good he has been so far and his ELC status. I'm still surprised with his ability to read plays and his pinch ins while also being good defensively. Hurt to think how Byram could've helped in the playoffs against Vegas compared to Graves terrible pinch in and Nemeth braindead plays.

Don't care. What you mentioned doesn't lower the price. I'm not really interested in the Avs trading him, tbh.
