COL isn’t trading Olausson, Barron or a 1st rd pick (though a 1st could be part of the package)in a trade for a 3rd liner no matter how nice he would be in the line up. Sakic has traded exactly 1 1st rd pick and that was to get Kuemper when he got a bit boxed in on the goalie market. Also he doesn’t over pay in trades, Olausson projects nicely as a top 6 winger in 2 years, Barron in the NHL next year and possibly the top 4 the following year. That kind of talent on ELC’s is important to the Avs going forward because of the cap. Does that mean they are untouchable? No they aren’t Newhook and Byram level talents, but if they are moved it will be for top 6 high end talent. In addition Lehkonen needs an extension, the MTL thought process that he is going to fetch a Coleman like return hits a major snag with that detail.
