Let’s see it’s the off season in the summer of 23 in your alternate universe and the COL Avalanche are preparing for the draft, oh wait don’t have to do that don’t have any picks. Trying to re-sign the guy you traded for, oh wait can’t do that because you have to sign 6 other forwards, at least 2 other dmen including Byram. So in you’re alternate universe the COL front office is ok throwing a cost controlled top 6C, a 1st rd pick in the deepest draft since 2015, a cost controlled guy that could fill a spot in the middle 6, and another pick for a guy that plays less than half a season for you but takes depth away from the team by trading away a guy in your top 6. Your universe has one of the smartest front offices making the decision to burn all that to simply upgrade one spot partially for a guy on an unprecedented heater. Say it with me COL says no.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nqutilus</b></div><div>Ok, I think I finally got my message across and I appreciate you writing a thought-out response. Lol.

Anyhow, I guess for me it’s just that I look at trading and hockey ops as a pure business. The way I see it, I’d rather take the risk of letting my opponent win the cup if it means that I get some sweet rewards back (I like to think of the David Savard trade- I doubt Columbus fans are very fond of Tampa). I mean, I think this is just a mindset thing. Granted, what you’re saying mostly does happen in the NHL, but I suppose it’s that I just want that to change since I’m all about practicality over spite. Would seeing Landeskog win a cup in Minnesota (random example I made up) sting? Yeah, but I just try to look at the overt results I get from it.

Anyhow I won’t take up anymore of your time, have a good day, amigo ✌️</div></div>

It's not about spite, it's about don't help the teams you measure yourself against most. And Minnesota has a lot better prospects than Colorado does. :squinty
