No need to sign Teravainen when Drouin is sitting right there and would probably take less money. Colton wouldn't be terribly hard to unload considering his age, position and contract but he probably wouldn't bring a ton back which is okay if all you're looking for is cap space. I doubt Walker takes that kind of term or money; I imagine he's looking for something closer to $5Mx5.

I proposed a deal with the Leafs that was Colton for Kämpf and Robertson. The general idea here was taking Colton's hit and spreading between two players who in one can replace him well defensively, and other being young, with contract control and can reasonably replace the offense. In that scenario, Landy was in the lineup.

The deal had mixed reviews amongst Avs fans, where most saw the logic behind the deal as being sound, but didn't like the targeted return.

Just seemed that the bottom 6 remained rather solid without subtracting from the blueline or top 6.

i thought colton was doing okay as a 3rd liner. he wasn't expected to blow the doors off, was he?
and I agree with resigning drouin, who will likely be cheaper.

I think the issue with Colton is how much he's making

Ava ain't gonna trade colton. If that was the case they should've just kept newhook.

Colton almost has 40 points.

Lol Ritchie as 4th line center is comical. That's one way to derail someone's development

I agree it's unlikely he gets traded but I wouldn't say it's impossible
