Get real COL never does that like ever. You actually think COL trades a top 4 dman and former #1 pick for junk?

Not a sharks post, but personally offended at the junk comment Gushchin has been developing well the last few years and Kostin has 5 points in 6 games since joining the sharks. Yes I would trade them in a min for a top 4 D but I wouldn’t call them trash
And Colorado needs to think about cap savings here with them tight against it and trying for a cup

Klostin is on his 4th team, guys like Gushkin are a dime a dozen 22yr old wingers that can’t stick with arguably one of the two worst teams in the NHL, what do either of them remotely offer in value that COL doesn’t already have or simply pay the league minimum to somebody looking for a chance at a Cup? Sure COL needs to tend to the cap but only insane people think that a top 4 dman gets traded for that, when they could easily flip him for a 1st rd pick +. Come on Inrespect your takes but this trade offer is flat out ridiculous.

Gushchin isn’t ready for the NHL and we are trying to be patient with our prospects, he’s better than at least 1/2 out forward roster right now and will be an NHLer next year.
I’ve really liked Kostin so far and most times bigger forwards take longer to develop and I’m hoping that’s his case and he does well here, but he is slow lol but good shot!
but I am not defending this deal at all your right it’s crazy but I’ve seen teams do crazy things to get under cap before

A very easy no for the Avs. Nothing they need in that offer.
