Honestly not a bad offer. I appreciate actually giving something of value

Right, it’s a real good offer for the sharks, bad for the avs. I understand they get a pretty good center in Hertl and some other pieces, but is it just me or does that seem like a steep return?

To me, Byram is the main feature, as a blue-chip prospect with #1 D-man potential (not quite at Makar's level, but still great). Kaut is a decent piece but not that much more valuable than Gambrell. Compher is someone who would have been more valuable pre-pandemic; given the flat cap and the length of his contract, I'm not sure what his value is. Honestly, if this trade weren't made he probably gets replaced by Newhook next season. Trading him helps fit Hertl into the cap this year and others in future years.

someone made a trade about Barkov, who is better than Hertl, for Newhook and Byram and Avs fans didn't like it.
