Appears to be good move for both.
Devils needed to add at least 2 d-men over the off-season. Now, one down.
Avs fans will like Maltsev. Will be more than just a throw-in with this deal. Big body, plays a little physical, but more of someone who can push through opponents' physicality. He can play along boards, protect puck, is a sneaky good stick-handler for man his size, can play center and LW. He showed a few glimpses of his shot developing, a nice quick release. If Devils have traded Miles Wood, Maltsev would have been the replacement that made Wood expendable.
If Maltsev makes the Avs roster out of camp, I'd say trade leans COL.
