Not sure I get trading away young players and prospects for other prospects at this point in the process, but what the hell, this is all just for fun, right.

I'm not as high on Kaut as many Avs fans, and I still think this is a bad trade. We don't need either a Kreider rental or DeAngelo. Next year's draft looks to be deep and I don't want to give up the pick, even though I expect it to be very late in the round.

There's obviously a lot you don't understand. That's why I said "for future reference." It's so that in the future, when making other trades in other team constructions, you would know that out here Maxime Comtois is considered more likely to become a #1 winger than Lias Andersson.

I think Comtios is going to be a lesser player than Kakko. Does that mean I shouldn't trade for him?

If I had offered Lias Andersson to you in the proposal, then what you are writing would be somewhat relevant. I understand Lias has some work to do, and I hope they stick with him.

I think Howden and Lindgren have a good shot at being NHL talent. Which is why I offered them in the package for Comtois. In no way shape or form should I am worried about comparing him to every other player included in the proposal.
