don't think New Jersey does that

3rd line center for a 2nd pairing dman, that is one trade I am confident with.

not all 3rd line centers and 2nd pairing defenseman have the same value

Zacha is younger, on a better contract, and expires as a RFA.

None of those 3 factors are a big enough justification to value Zacha over Risto.

3 more than you

No point in trading for Bizak if you acquire Zacha. No need for Bozak if you have acquired Zacha. They offer a very similar game, but Zacha has a much lower cap hit. Also where is Cozens??

Blues reluctantly accept.

Pilut left to the KHL because Buffalo weren't offering him a regular top 6 role. What makes you think he's going to want to come play with the Avs as their 7D and be stuck behind Graves/Girard/Byram/Cole?

The value is good for Colorado, but I'd rather use assets on players who are more likely to help the team. Unless the plan is to flip Pilut for a 3rd or something.

The Bozak deal is good and the Blues probably do it. Depends on if they get Steen moved. If not, they need the cap space, if so, they probably want to ride Bozak in the win now window they are in

errr no.

Please feel free to click on the AM in the details of the trade. Was taking the trade from an Avs fan.

Fair enough. If you look in the comments of that AGM I said the same thing about the Pilut trade there too

I'm tempted by the PHI trade, but the conditional third kinda turns me off. I know there has to be some incentive to take the contract, it's just a matter of whether you take a chance on him, and then the contract becomes worth it.

what do you mean no i gave you 3
