Eh, idk about this. Only has 1 year left on his contract, and not really someone that would help out the top 6 for the Avs. I don't think the trade is bad, I just don't really like Namestnikov very much. I see the Avs keeping the 16th pick and if it they do decide to move it it would be in a deal involving Barrie for a top 6 forward.

This is asking a lot, i can see if we add krieder instead of namestikov they might do it otherwise we will be moving up to somewhere in the 12-18 range. I just realized this is for colorados own pick not ottawa's pick my bad.

Maybe if the talent level didn't drop around 9 or 10.

I don't think Namestnikov carries the kind of value some people expect.

He's a dime a dozen, no need to pay up for if you're COL.

I don't think Vlad has enough value/interest from COL to move us up. Last year it took a 2nd rounder for us to move up 4 spots from 26 to 22.
