As a flames fan, gladly.

Can’t see Huberdeau a good fit for the Blue Jackets.
Calgary declined.

I absolutely love Byram, but that trade is mental. KJ is cost controlled another year and Byram's concussions are extremely concerning. And the Huberdeau deal....yikes

Byram hasn’t had a concussion in two seasons. Also as the avs I don’t do this trade. The main reason being for cap reasons. But also not a fan of Provorov

I wouldn't do that deal if I was in charge of the Avs. A proven supremely skilled dman in his early 20's is worth far more then a young winger who hasn't established himself yet and an overrated dman with a bloated contract.

As much as I don't like Laine and his contract any trade that could possible get Calgary out from under that Huberdeau deal is a win. Calgary should accept.

That's true. I didn't even really think about the issues with Colorado's cap doing that. Provorov is kinda whatever though. If he was excluded though I wouldn't like it regardless. If Byram's health was a sure thing, him vs KJ wouldn't be close, but even the concussions aside the most games he's played in a regular season is 42 and that's super sketchy as much as I love his game.

If Prov wont use pride tape(to each their own), it would be a logistical nightmere to send him to Denver. He wouldn't be able to cross any downtown streets since they rock the pride colors.

Byram has more goals as a Dman than KJ, not liking this for the Avs.
