If Byram was right handed and defensively responsible id love it. But if that were the case the avs wouldnt move him. Largely suspect that Mittelstadt gets extended this summer.

byram>mittelstadt
1st>2nd

Overall it’s a no by Colorado

+ Erik Johnson and moving Johansen (4MM for 2 years), this is why I added 1st Colorado and 2nd Buffalo

Mittelstadt's been worth 9 goals above replacement so far.

Byram is in the negatives. Its not even particularly close.

Last 3 years goals above replacement:

Byram: 2.4

Mittelstadt: 22.1

Like I know Colorado has that good smoke but I didn't know it was THIS good lol

@Stadel Before you added the above information, I thought Buffalo's second should be removed.
With those facts it should be obvious that not only should the second be removed but the Avalanche would need to add.
The draft picks cancel out Johanson's salary, more must be added to make up the difference between Casey and Bowen.
