Quoting: coga16
So trading their best players and franchise Center for pennies on the dollar is going to help them? Its not a good trade man,
Bennett is struggling and not looking like a top 6 player at the moment. Kylington is having a decent AHL season but chances are he will be a 2nd pairing NHL Dman once all things considered and a late first round pick in a down draft year?
Yup thats hot value
It's a trade that is in favor of the Flames, especially in the short term. Maybe in the long term it swings the other way, which is why there are multiple assets going to the Avs in this proposal. This is why my description clearly says "Treliving pulls another rabbit out of the hat, ala Dougie Hamilton"
Do I think the Avs trade MacKinnon? No
If they do surprise us, would they trade him for a futures package like this? Probably not.
If they did it would most likely be for a top 2 left handed defenseman, so a more "realistic" proposal from me would have been MacKinnon for Brodie.
But it's a fantasy board and I wanted to have some fun and see what the roster would look like if Treliving did the impossible again, sue me.
At least I gave value in the deal. A "Brayden Schenn circa 2012" high level center prospect, one of our best young D prospects and our highest pick we have available.
