Will the Avalanche make a trade? | Mile High Hockey Podcast
Mike Evans reacts to the approaching NHL trade deadline, and gives his take on whether the Avs will make one large move, or a series of smaller moves to strengthen the team.
Val or Arturi both are no where near third line. And without breaking up the other they’ll stay third. Rj needs to go. And have both mentioned above wing a decent c. And CMd is finishing strong. Could easily pass up everyone and make a 10-15 pt gap. Doubt it’ll happen but he’s only a handful back from Mack. Edit: just realized McD missed some games too. He’d be at the top if he didn’t. 6 games behind Mack and kuch. Only 6pts back. Mr point machine haha

I think the Avs will target an experience backup and another depth defensemen. A 2C would come with a price and a price with not much cap room, so they would need to move players out. It's no secret that the Avs probably tryied to move Johansen, but there weren't any takers, especially on Lindholm and Monahan trades. Mostly likely Bryam or Girard were wanted back in those trades, but they are so cemented into what Avs hockey is all about. Personally right now a 2C is a hit or miss and costly for what's out there, I think the affordable option would go after a solid 3 or 4C, for pk and puck possession. Here are my likely additions- Center: Girgensons-Buf, or Roslovic- CBJ Goalie: :Allen-Mtl or Driedger,-Sea Defense: Hamonic-Otw or Seeler-Phi Avs are known for sneaky trades, not really block busters, plus more fw depth coming in Kovalenko.
