Would a Backlund + Russell + Poirier + D prospect like Culkin/Morrison/Kulak + 2nd get the Avs listening??
We overpay to a degree here for sure but Duchene is a consistent scorer good for anywhere between 50 - 70 points having reached both of those totals twice already. Gives the Avs a lesser replacment pointwise but a reliable two-way center in Backs, defensive help that they are seeking as well as a good forward prospect which is why the 2nd rounder isnt a first.
We roll with this as our top 6
Gaudreau - Monahan - Hudler
Bennett - Duchene - Frolik
He definitely is an interesting player to target.
