a whole new world

a new fantastic point of view

Why does Colorado do that?

because he might go to seattle and colorado would get nothing

So Colorado loses two decent roster players instead of one? Seattle still gets to take somebody.

And in return they get a 25% chance to have a contributing player 3-4 years from now.

Doesn't seem like a move a contender would want to make.

ever hear of something called free agency? and they can also flip the pick along with something else to actully improve their team. and dont forget that they already ditched 2 second round picks for toews so this would help them
