In fact the Devils have almost nothing that the Avs may be interested in, the Avs forwards are much better than the Devils forwards, their defence is much better than the Devils defence. Don’t think it will work out for you.

NJD would happily facillitate another move.
For example in this case with as you say, Calgary selling markstrom 50%.
NJD provides a top 10 1st, gets: Georgiev+Girard
Colorado can then use said top 10 first to buy markstrom 50% retained if they want.
Or something along those lines.
Why send Girard and Georgiev to calgary who, as claimed in this scenario is viewing them as cap filler, when you can send them to NJD who's offering a top tier asset for them.
