TBH, I don't know what the goal is here.

Helleson is an interesting prospect. Your so loaded with the high end dmen hes gone a bit under the radar. He seemed solid but not flashy at BC.

What are the point of these trades. They are just flat out awful for the avs

Right now Helleson is looking like a solid 3rd line player but that can and probably change since he is about to start his 2nd season at Boston College and will get more ice time. Your best bet is to hold on to him because I don't see him returning a 3rd round pick. Now with Renouf I wouldn't put him in any trades he has basically no value. He's 26 and played 1 NHL game 4 seasons ago for Detroit and since he cleared waivers more than once last season no one is going to give up anything for him. Like Frk in Detroit, Montoya in Edmonton, Hudon in Montreal. Baertschi in Vancouver and Bracco in Toronto.

Why would we even want to trade Helleson for a 3rd round pick? He's exactly the type of Dman we need in the system to give ourselves a good chance of replacing Johnson's shutdown ability at RHD by 2023. Helleson and Barron give us two shots at that.
