Wow, these trades aren't completely unreasonable. You sure you're a Habs fan?

Don't know why Colorado wastes limited cap space on Drouin.

Everyone passed on Byron 3 times for free. Getting rid of him for only a 3rd is a good deal. Or buy him out.

Pavel Zacha is a better hockey player than JA, so I would hope NJ passes on that

Yes the biggest concern for colorado right now will be seeing who will fit in the cap space at 2C. But if they figure that out i think drouin at 2.5 mil for a season is a really good depth piece. Similar to how burky floated between 2nd & 3rd line this year in playoffs just having another solid skater in the system at a cheap price is good. But all about cap space for sure.

As soon as I saw the Avs as the first trade I knew when I opened this Drouin finally becomes an AV.
2 picks is probably a bit much though.
We don't even know if he'd like Denver enough to stay on the entire season

Many Habs fans were right about Chiarot, Lehkonen, Toffoli and Pacioretty value. Many Habs haters were wrong about those.

Of course some Habs fans are delusionnal. Could say the same about some Habs haters, who alot of the time ends up looking really bad.

nj says no

i think the avs will have better options in free agency but the value is fair

cant tell if ur being sarcastic lol, but these trades clear cap bring in younger and cheaper players for a quick retool/rebuild
