re: NHL Offseason Thread

Avalanche so far this week:

F Joonas Donskoi-avs pick up a right hand shot they need.

C Nazem Kadri. Trading him for Tyson Barrie is a steal for Toronto but probably a good trade for both because Barrie is redundant in Colorado now and Colorado needs a guy like Kadri badly. They have three more just like Barrie or better. The secondary trade here-Kerfoot for Rosen looks like a win for Toronto. I like Kerfoot a lot. This trade helps both teams. The Avs just got a lot more chippy. But to get a two-way guy like Kadri who can score and agitate helps the Avs tremendously.

F Andre Burakovsky. For a 2nd and 3rd. Helps the Caps dump some salary and REALLY helps the Avs for 2019/2020. The Avs covet that speed, and although he has underachieved and is streaky, they think he fits in much better in Denver.

These three guys really help fill out the Avs lines. The Avs still have almost 30m in cap room with Mikko Rantanen still unsigned. They are in an OUTSTANDING position with players, prospects, draft picks and cap space. Well done Joe Sakic.
