Overpayment for Zadorov

I don't like that trade at all. It removes an important F, downgrades our D, and gives up a 2nd + 3rd for a older prospect who won't even crack the Avs lineup

The aves and the ave nots

Really bad trade from the Avs perspective

That doesn’t help Detroit at all. We will just keep our young RHD.

If you can’t spell the team name correctly, then move along

I have to agree. Big no from Detroit.

I'm not sure how this helps either team. DET trading away 2 RHD (Bowey is definitely on the block, but Lindstrom had a decent kickoff in 15-ish games this year, and is still learning the NA ice) for 2 much older players, and 2 picks that come a few years out that are a crapshoot at best (2nd round picks have less than a 35% chance of playing 100 games in the NHL). DET isn't anywhere close to a playoff team, so when they are, the players wouldn't even be on the roster.

COL is trading away some bottom 6 sandpaper, and a LHD with 2 cups to his name, and the only guy on the team that has won a cup (from what I can tell), and 2 picks they can use to bring real help to the team.

If you are looking for left/right balance, I can see making a deal for Bowey for a low pick (late 3rd at the earliest, probably a 4th rounder). But giving up Cole (a good 3/4 guy) for a Bowey (5/6 guy at best), and a Lindstrom (maybe #4 potential) really has no value for either team.

avs give up the best 4 pieces in the trade
