if they did that trade for connor brown and added to him..sure I could talk myself into the merits of that type of move....as the avs would believe in newhook is ready for 2C and they get the additional year of Browns contract.
I'm not doing the proposed trade in the OP if I am Colorado but Ottawa wouldn't do Connor Brown for Kadri too, even less if Ottawa would have to add.
He has 2 years at 3.6 which is a pure bargain while Kadri only has 1 year at 4.5 (although would only 2 M$ for this season)
I think Connor Brown is still very underrated. So I am repeating these facts just to inform people, spreading the Brown love. Connor Brown is approaching Selke Winger level
- He was 2nd in takeaways last season (behind Mark Stone of course)
- He received Selke votes (17th)
- Total beast on the PK : routinely gets more scoring chances than the opposition
- used heavily in a defensive deployment (34.0 oZS% vs 66.0 dZS%) but still provides good offense (61st for Even Strenght Points among NHL players since 2019-20)
- He has scored at a 24 goals/50 pts pace in Ottawa (127 GP)
His speed, non-stop motor and flawless work ethic is a beautiful thing to watch. With only a 3.6 AAV for 2 more seasons... way too valuable for Ottawa.
I am expecting him to be extended next year.
