Grabo + conditional 2nd round pick (if he does not re-sign, although he will because he did state COL and TOR are the teams he likes most) + Schenn + 3rd?
"Avs GM Greg Sherman and Leafs GM Brian Burke have been speaking fairly regularly recently, as Colorado has scouted several of Toronto's games this month."
"Meanwhile, the Avs could still move defenseman Ryan O'Byrne before the deadline."

Nice to see that you included Schenn+3rd unlike some people who think we'd do Grabo+conditional pick for Stastny but I still think the Avs say no.

Gotta deal quality for quality. I'm not sure what else I could do to enhance that deal. Grabovski would move to #2 centre allowing Duchene get the #1 role, and Schenn gives you guys an excellent young top 4 D-man for the youth movement. Plus a pick... Grabo is good for 50 points (he's had real cold wingers this year maybe a 60 point guy) and Schenn is pretty good.
Garrison
Matthias
1st
Prospect (Not named Bjugstad or Huberdeau)
Still no?
Don't really need Matthias. I think Garrison is going to be asking way to much so that scares me off. We could also just pursuer him in FA. The 1st is decent, but with Stastny it'd probably be in the 15-20 range. Without either of those prospects available we probably say no.
Guys I would target from Florida would be Gubrandson and Kulikov, but then you guys probably lose all interest.

I can't see the Panthers trading Kuli for Stastny, unless we get something else in return.

The thing is:
1) If we trade Stastny to To, why would we not ask for other pieces, then get Grabo in FA since he has expressed interest in coming here?
2) We don't need Grabo. Duchene is really struggling, but he'd still be our #1/#2 center next year. O'Reilly would guaranteed have the other spot. So Grabo would essentially be our 3rd line center? Seems a waste.
