I don't hate it, but the depth forwards and bottom 2 are lacking, which just kind of gets us to the same place we were at at the end of this season. This is made better by Landy coming back obviously, but running back eller, meyers, malgin and cogs isn't going to be the move to me, although I think they will resign some of that group.
Rangers don't do that trade. I'm not opposed to Laf but i feel like he'll stay in New York at least for now.
I think Newhook is resigned. He's going to be fairly affordable for what he brings to the team. I know many Avs fans were disappointed with his season but honestly, he was just asked to do too much for where he was in his development. Still young, still 30 points a season, i think there's value there.
The change I'd make here, IMO, is Girard for more depth pieces than just a cap dump. He's worth at least one depth forward and a pick. Could maybe be packaged into that Schmaltz trade.
