Quoting: McRanteskog
That Avs trade is easily one of the worst ones ive seen in weeks.
Most Avs fans wouldnt do Byram 1 for 1 for Miller, let alone throw in Barron, Jost and a 2nd for a 4th line plug in Motte.
Bryam > Miller
Jost > Motte
Then Van gets Barron and a 2nd ontop?
I would dissagree, Jost and Motte, super similar, but motte does have the same amount of points in about 10 less games this year, and he would be for 600k against the cap. Canucks dont want to retain on miller as it would carry over to next year so COL can deal with the 2m of miller's deal that overages the returns however they like, be that through a non contender or LTIR
Bo Byram is a super good hockey player, but he has a terrible history with concussions, so it would be a gamble either way for the avs, if they lose him, he could live up to his potential, if they keep him, he could have concussion problems for his entire career. No matter how you frame it, he is not worth what he used to be, so no he is not worth more than miller.
burnaby Joe has fleeced teams in the past, that doesn't mean that he wont make trades that are mutually beneficial in the future
