Why are we trading away our young players???

Because there is so many of them, give them a chance to play

Colorado would decline this offer. LOC was really good before getting hurt (like elite defensively good), and they have no need for additional defensive depth. The guy is not untouchable, but it would take a better offer.

yeah the LOC trade makes no sense for the avs. LOC fills an avs need on the 4th line and is good in that role, Siegenthaler is just a depth dman who wont even make the avs healthy scratches.

the value for the avs to take away a position of need to add a player that doesnt fill any needs would be very odd

But you're trading the good ones away for horrible returns

Interesting strategy.

Instead of — one step back, two forward
This goes with — two steps back....and that’s it.

Hmmm.

get a couple top d men and 1-2 good wingers, leave the rest alone. The depth is great. Watching how Colo is deep throughout is a nice model to follow. Have the depth not the D not the sniper (yet)
