that COL trade is awful for OTT
I was actually expecting much worse because people usually trade the moon for star players.
Quoting: Alte91
I'd say the opposite. There is no chance that avs would accept a trade like that. Makar is a top 3 D for many years to come and is underpayed during this contract. Not trading a star player for a bunch of hope during their cup-window.
I agree the Avs shouldn't make this trade. It's not like they have poor depth and are lacking in quality players. They don't need to trade one of their stars to fix something that is not a need/problem
Makar is today's Erik Karlsson, you don't trade these guys in their prime.
That being said, Norris is 22 y/o 2-way center who might just be a 30-40 goals scorer every season (he scored 30 goals in his last 60 games) and Sanderson is going to be Slavin 2.0
That first round pick is also very valuable so overall this package has immense value. Oh and didn't even mention recent 1st round picks JBD and Boucher who might not become big stars but solid NHL players.
This package is worth a ridiculous amount of "first round picks" so yeah Ottawa also wouldn't do that lol (particularly considering what Eichel was traded for)
Edit : And yeah, the word "hope" here doesn't paint the picture very well.
