Here is a roster player and prospect offer I would do from the Flames perspective
Frolik (for cap purposes)
Kylington
Gillies
Shinkaruk
For
Duchene
The Flames give up a good roster forward with 3 years left on his deal at a good cap hit. Colorado could keep him in their top 6 or move him for a couple of 2nd rounders.
Kylington is a high ceiling D prospect with 2 years pro experience. Top 5 overall prospect in the Flames pool.
Gillies helps ease the loss of Pickard and could be the backup next year or the year after.
Shinkaruk is a winger that would probably crack the Avs lineup. Boom bust style of player.
The Avs would get a winger, goalie, and D prospect that are all closeish to making the league. They also get a very serviceable winger signed at a decent deal for 3 years.
The Flames dip into their deep system again and thanks to Parsons/Rittich,, Valimaki/Fox/Andersen, and Poirier/Klimchuk/Jankowski they can afford to move these pieces to get a top line forward.
