all these trades are just absolute garbage

How so? The Florida one was maybe a stretch but I feel that the other ones are pretty realistic.

This team isn't trying to make a playoff push this year, or maybe even next year. They're still trying to go young, acquire draft picks and grow the core together. Vanek trade makes no sence as anything Vanek could do, Yak could probably do as well. I prefer Yak to Vanek and also prefer to keep the draft pick. I'd also prefer to keep the OTT 1st instead of trading for Murray, if he can't perform half decently with a winning CBJ side how is he going be any different here. I'd rather keep Jost, Greer, Beaudin and the COL 2nd instead of Maroon and RNH. Overpayment. COL is not in a rush to win just yet. I wouldn't do BUF trade either,

Right so Colorado acquires 6 players when has that ever been done at the TDL, Like never there's no way that Colorado is making the playoffs far too many better teams in the west then Colorado this year they will finish in the bottom 10 again.

These trades are all pretty bad for one side or the other imho, but the trade with Edmonton is so far in Edmonton's favor that it is hard to take any of this seriously. Tyson Jost is likely to be the best player in the entire trade. The other prospects are all high quality prospects, including JC Beaudin. Your trade mentions Meloche, although he is not shown in the trade. Including him would be insane. You also give Edmonton the better picks. All of this for RNH and Patrick Maroon? Colorado needs to stick with their youth movement. If they were wanting to make a playoff push these are not the trades that would get them there. The quantity of trades would leave the entire organization shell shocked for the next three-months. Perhaps a reasonable trade for Evander Kane would yield some benefits, but the end result here is a team that isn't any better, with a decimated prospect pipeline, and a lack of picks to help rebuild when all is said and done.
