Overpayment? Absolutely. Can we get that? Absolutely. Colorado had an abundance of riches and can easily trade Girard without losing Byram/Toews, trade Newhook who hasn’t been the best center (plays better as a winger), and a 1st rounder because of the quality player Lindholm is.
Acquiring Girard allows us to flip Hanifin too.

If you eat some of Lindholm’s salary that is an easy trade for the Avs to make. It would almost commit the Flames to a rebuild because even without eating any Lindholm salary the Flames would be taking on more salary in that trade. They would have to move out other high salary guys to make the cap work.
Avs are in a win now situation, a 3.75 million dollar Elias Lindholm is pretty appealing for a Cup run next year.
