Critique from a practical point.
EJ - they aren’t trading him. Besides being great in the locker room, he can still play when healthy, he’s a great mentor for the young d, and when his contract expires they will basically use it all to re-sign MacKinnon.
Trochek- why? The Avs have Newhook and they WANT and EXPECT him to be the 2C next season if not sooner.
Kuemper - the only way he signs a deal that small is if the Avs flame out in the playoffs, and if they do that they won’t go back to the well regardless the cost to obtain him. A more realistic amount is closer to $6M.
Nichushkin - love Val would love him back but some analytics driven team is going to offer more especially if he has a 40pt+ season playing on the 2nd line where he is pencilled in right now by the Avs.
Sampo Ranta - right now he is pushing hard to make the Avs this year, he is significantly better than Maltsev.
MacDermid - is awful, full stop. Mistake of a trade by Sakic this year.
It’s a creative ACGM just don’t like it that much, though I do like the thought of adding a Pavelski for the bottom 6.
