Montreal isn’t trading Poehling for a bottom pairing defenceman who is becoming ufa in 1 years. Poehling is only 21 and is two years from behind the best forward at the world juniors hockey championship.
Thanks for the feedback. Poehling currently has done nothing at the pro level. AJ Greer is more NHL ready and is producing better. Zadorov would be the perfect partner for Webe, Petry, or Juulsen. If you have to go 2 years back to say a player was good, then there is a problem.

I don't think there is a need for Shattenkirk because you already got makar and coming Byram. Also think Tierney would cost a bit more as he is doing good on a bad team
But otherwise this is good.
Thanks for your feedback. Byram isn't NHL ready imo, no need to rush him. Shattenkirk brings offense and experience. He would excel with Graves as his partner. Jost has a higher ceiling than Tierney and is 3 years younger, Ottawa would make that trade.

Avs have no reason to acquire another 3C. They currently have Mack/Kadri/Compher/Jost/Bellemare down the middle, and will soon be adding Newhook and Bowers. So Poehling is redundant, even if he's a good player. Montreal won't trade him though anyways as he's part of their future... especially not for Zadorov. Adding a 2nd is totally wrong valuation too. Oh and not to twist the knife in further but Poehling as a scratch doesn't make sense; he either needs to be playing in the NHL or in the AHL regularly rather than being a healthy scratch.
As for Shattenkirk, Avs don't need another D as he would just be blocking Timmins and Byram who could realistically both make the roster this upcoming season.
Contracts look fine, though I think Nichuskin gets around $2m and Graves just a touch under $3m ($2.5m for 2 years, or $2.8m for 3 years.. or somewhere in that region).
Thanks for giving me some feedback. Tierney is better than Jost as of now and Colorado is in a win-now mode. Shattenkirk is only signed for 2 years and wouldn't block anyone. Byram shouldn't play in the NHL yet.

I think the defense will look like this:
Graves-Makar
Byram- Johnson
Girard- Cole (Timmins)
Plus I don't think Montreal will trade Poehling for Zadorov even though they were rumors for a trade between Montreal and Colorado. Habs are looking for either Graves or Girard but Colorado won't move them.
Tierney is the type of player Colorado need a full 200 foot player but I don't think Sens are looking to trade him at the moment.
The Montreal trade is more of a Poehling for Greer swap, and Zadorov for the pick. Greer is more NHL ready than Poehling right now. Thanks for the feedback.

To an outsider, this is a really really good team that only needs to sign the two Russian free agents and then see who makes the squad out of training camp. So I agree with everyone else that your two trades and the big signing are unnecessary. Nice job, though.
Thanks for providing feedback. I don't want this 31 in 31 to be boring for me or for viewers, so I'm trying to make trades and shakeup a bit for each team. Zadorov doesn't have a place on this team so he will be traded. Jost needs a change of scenery and Colorado could use a more productive albeit older and costlier center in Tierney

TBH, these moves are very underwhelming to just pointless
especially the UFA signings
I guess it just goes to show that Colorado doesn't have many holes to fill, and therefore a semi-realistic AGM will be underwhelming. Never said in my description that the point was to overwhelm the fanbase
