Avs Trade

That's really bad for Colorado.

Simon is a replacement level player with very little value as anything more than a throw-in to balance contracts.

Nichuskin was 8th in selke voting last season.

You'd probably struggle to find a majority of Avs fans who would trade Jost for Bennett straight up given how well Jost has started this season too; he's te Avs best PKer by a good distance and looks a step faster than last year, and is sporting a CF% over 55%. Just a very reliable player in the bottom 6. But in theory a Jost for Bennett swap is probably pretty fair.

Needless to say, Avs aren't trading their best two defensive bottom 6 forwards for Bennett.

i like jost more than bennett and nuke more than simon.

not a good trade for colorado

Nichushkin had some of the best 5v5 impacts in the league last season. Can't ask for more from a bottom 6 fwd. Don't see the benefit for Colorado here.

I agree, Nuke is much better than people give him credit for imo, and that 8th in Selke voting really shows how good he is.

Bennett has been steadily been less productive throughout the years. But I do like how you did the cap and production comparisons.
