Not a bad roster at all, nice job.
Some comments on the roster:
- Calvert is a full-time part of the 4th line and won't be bumped out of the lineup. If anyone would be it would be Bellemare or Kaut.
- 5 years seems a year too much for Burakovsky. $4.85m x 4 years is probably the sweetspot.
- The blueline is a bit green, so I think we'd keep Cole around as 7D instead of Lindholm, particularly as there's enough capspace to keep him.
Regarding trades:
- Zadorov trade is good, right on the value but I would prefer a 2020 2nd if possible.
- Jost's value is probably a bit higher than a very late 2nd and a 2021 4th. If the 2nd was the MTL 2nd or CHI 2nd (which Montreal also have) then it would be acceptable.
- The Rakell trade is good, I think Colorado accept that, even if it's painful to lose Bowers and a 1st in a deep draft. Rakell would be a great fit on this team, and acquiring him without giving up one of our top 3-4 prospects would be great. If we traded Bowers for Rakell though I think we'd be inclined to keep Jost as we'd otherwise be really thin in terms of bottom 6 C depth.
