Newhook is a top 3 prospect in hockey. I'd rather have SIMON play first line over Hoffman, and Simon has like negative accuracy, Hallander>Poulin rn, and honestly I'd rather play Miletic than Poulin next year (also really not sold in POJ on the bottom pair, I'd rather he get another year in the AHL and dominate, he struggled a lot in the beginning of last year, to he did get a LOT better by the end

The Avalanche don't need more goalies. Both of their current goalies are better than him!

As an Avs fan, I would be interested in Murray if he's willing to sign at a reasonable cost. I would not pay anywhere near that much in a trade though. It would be one thing if he had a stellar season, but he essentially lost his starting job. You don't give up one of the better prospect in the league and a first in a deep draft for a guy who has trended the wrong direction.

Absolutely not from Colorado.

Newhook is a top 10 prospect in the entire league (4th according to Wheeler's latest article in The Athletic). It would be beyond idiotic to trade him for a goalie, especially when our goalie situation is extremely solid (eg. our goalie tandem was recently ranked No.1 in the league by The Athletic, and we have the 7th best goalie prospect in Annunen according to another The Athletic article). Not that The Athletic is the be-all-end-all, but it does give a pretty good indication of player values.

As for the rest of the package, I wouldn't even trade a 1st for that overall package from Pittsburgh. We are contending and not in a position to be taking on multi-year capdumps. It's also questionable whether it's even worth paying a late 1st for Murray straight up after the season he just had.

A collection of mid-round long-shot picks don't really move the needle much at all.

I am anti-simon. I think he is absolute dog ****. Read Sakic "really likes" one of the penguins goalies and wanted one at the deadline and included Newhook. Also read POJ will be NHL ready next season. Poulin tore it up in the Q so I assume he will make the team next season.
