Excellent job.

@JGDD11 do you wanna say it or should i have the honours

imo not that bad except the blues trade
blues wont give up that much

1 team will, stick to reality

you can have kaut instead of helleson.

Habs don't do it tho if that's the offer

COL gives up slightly too much.
Helleson is a RHD ready to make the jump to the NHL in 1-2 years (just competed in the olympics against men), him plus a 2nd and a 5th for just Lehkonen is steep

avs dont do it if its helleson

I think we have mutual agreement then, I'm totally fine with keeping lehky if right offer doesn't come along.

yea too much for him. habs should keep him for the retool

Colorado won't give up Helleson and a second for Lehkonen, and Washington won't give up more than a fourth for Kulak.

Exactly

if habs are sold on helleson maybe anderson with retention could work. or romanov.

Not at all.
Lehkoenn + Romanov + 3rd for Byram + helleson

for that price the avs could get caufield instead of lehky.

Romy + 2nd + 3rd for Byram
Lehky for helleson + 2nd

2nds cancel each other

byram > caufield
helleson < romanov

maybe habs add something small like a 4th.

Not at all.

Caufield >>>>>>> Byram with his injuries
Helleson < Romanov

Doesn't make sense.
Avs add olausson, habs add tuch

nah byram > caufield. even with the injury. byram scoring at a higher pace even tho hes a dman lol.

habs add mid pick or maybe a roster player like evans

Caufield = Byram
Romanov > Helleson
Avs add 3rd round pick

nah caufield = newhook. byram > both of them.
habs add. I'd prefer evans over the 4th.

You kept saying the same about Timmins for years
Turns out they probably shoulda pulled the trigger a lot earlier

COL has Makar and Baron long term in their top 4 RD
Unless you dont think Baron can stay in the top 4 picture and will fall to 3rd pair
Whats the upside in declining to sell high on Helleson and avoid using a 1st where you can either upgrade him with the pick you didnt spend
Or choose someone else who fills another need

Given COL always finds a way to avoid trading their pick to upgrade only doing it once in 2012 in the Varlamov trade
I think if using Helleson who could be a legit 2nd Paid D can help COL on a cup run without giving up that 1st they seem to like to keep
I think Sakic does it

Caufield > Newhook Caufield slightly better due to goalscorer.
Byram > Romanov

Habs add something like luke tuch

nah i had acgms where he got traded. not at all against helleson getting traded its that lehky is the return that's the problem. lol. much rather giroux thanks.

newhook is more consistent and a center which gives him an edge. evans probably makes the most sense for the avs.
