Description

Expansion draft: Erik Johnson waives his M-NTC, NMC. He doesn't qualify for exposure, so the Avs expose Jacob MacDonald instead. Protected list: Mackinnon, Rantanen, Landeskog, Burakovsky, Miller, Jost, Nichushkin, Makar, Girard, Toews, and Grubauer. My thinking is that even with Virtanen available, Donskoi would still be the likely pick.

Toronto trade: Avs get a reliable RD fill-in if an injury occurs and a future 2nd rounder. Toronto gets their boy back for what I would say is a reasonable price. Reasonable value?

Vancouver trade: Avs get a 2C upgrade and a cost-controlled 3rd line winger. Canucks get a defensive upgrade and a cost-controlled 3C in need of a change of scenery. They get a second-rounder to sweeten the deal.

Virtanen and his sexual assault allegations are a no fly zone right now.

Wasn't even aware of them, but yeah, unquestionably. Who would you substitute?

I would have taken Motte over Virtanen even before the allegations. Virtanen is not a very good player in the bottom 6 and hes not good enough to be a top 6 player.
Motte knows what he is in that role

Dubas moved Kadri because he kept getting suspended in the playoffs so I don't think he's welcome back after his latest incident. I imagine Kadri is going to a fringe playoff team next season

Yeah, the team is interchangeable IMO. I imagine the Avs will just hold onto him, but getting Miller as an upgrade would be nice, especially since the Canucks will have to move money out.
