Bergevin has to be stepping up here. Probably significant move.

Despite retaining 20% on Desharnais' contract, #Habs gained cap space & now find themselves with $1.16M, the equivalent of a $5.22M cap hit.

Stay away from Duchene. He's not worth the asking price.

I'd say Beaulieu, a first, an hopeful (Juulsen? Sergachev?) at the least.

Sergachev is probably a no go

He's not a UFA, Avs have no pressure to trade him. They will have way more potential buyers in the offseason. So if you want him now, prepare to overpay greatly.

yeah...agreed. But we still need a bloody centerman...and a sniper.

Personally I'd just stay with what you have this year and start fresh with Julien next year. No way does this team go on a cup run even if you add duchene.

Shorter version: Desharnais will help EDM, Davidson will help MTL. But Davidson's clearly the better asset for an NHL team.

you do realize he would be your 1C and most complete overall Centerman

He and Galchenyuk would be 1A/1B

Definitely an upgrade over Danault in the top 6 and saying he's not worth the price without knowing the price doesn't make a whole lot of sense

I think Galy is a great talent, but when it comes to being a Center in this league, face-offs, positionally, defensive ability (his defensive side is very under rated for an offensive guy). Duchene is leaps and bounds better than Galy, but that comes with age and experience.

I dont know what the price is, but it has to be Serg. Especially after all the benching stuff that happened in the OHL, wonder if might have raised a red flag or 2 for Bergy? I dunno timing seems odd

Well having Duchene and Galchenyuk as a 1-2 punch, I think fans could finally start female doging at something else then the middle...

Haven't the TSN insiders been reporting they have been asking for the moon for him and landeskog? Why would Sakic trade him now when he knows he could get more for him at the draft? Only way you get either is to over pay.

Boo!

By the time Sergachev (who is just a prospect and nothing more) reaches his prime in 8-10 years, Price, Pacioretty, Galchenyuk and Weber will all be gone.

However, that core will be there the next 3-5 years likely making the playoffs and getting poop picks. So if Sergachev becomes an allstar, who will be in the team with him?

I'd trade him and hope for 5th round luck.

if it were to be Duchene or Kane, who would you pick?

- cburgess

he has his price and I dont think it would change now vs at the draft. Its a draft day price. If you want to pay it now then go for it, I dont t think it lessens either way.

They seem very firm here, thats the price and Avs do not have to move him either either...now or at the draft. If you want him heres your chance.

will they get a Beulieu, 1st and prospect deal at the draft?

I think desperate team gives more tomorrow vs the draft
