Well since Nugent is being paid 500k more a year at nearly the same production as Barrie, who is a right-handed D-man (highly-coveted) I think that is a lateral move on the avs part - even though Nug is 2 years younger, he is a centerman coming to a team where the top 2 centers are Mack and Duchene... Avs are looking to build the D, not dismantle and add pieces we have plenty of.
Duchene for Hanifin just isn't enough of a return for the avs - Duchene is a "proven" centerman, where Hanifin is an unproven, although highly regarded and young, D-man. Throw in a draft pick, or possibly a decent 3rd liner and you might have a deal.
The Landy trade is just ****! Nothing further here.
