Colorado has no reason to do that trade.
But anyway let's look at the main trade. Is Palmieri really that big an upgrade on Kerfoot? I think Kulikov may be a downgrade and certainly isn't a big upgrade on Dermott.
Essentially for the line up today the big move is Palmieri for kerfoot and futures.
He has more offense in him though interestingly he only has 1 more point in a few less games this year. I suspect he gets a lot more pp time.
But he can't play at c if needed which is a bigger loss than people realize
