Initial Creation Date: May 18, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

I'm not great with trade values and cap hits. So bare with me!
1. I think the Columbus trade works below because Toews will probably command too much money for the Avs to re-sign. Roslovic is still young and can grow with this Avs team. I think he's a good fit for 2C and his numbers could really jump playing in the Avs top 6. I like the idea of bringing in Liam Foudy as well also have his brother. And he's a cheap option for the bottom 6. Towes instantly becomes the jackets best defender. And he's a left D. So he fits well next to a guy like Adam Boqvist.
2. MacDermid can go anywhere. I felt Edmonton because they could use some toughness.
Free agents:
I brought in Drouin because he will come in relatively cheap. The Mackinnon connection. He was second on Montreal in assists. And you never know he could have a sneaky good year in Colorado with less pressure and playing with some familiar faces in Lehky and Mack. You put him next to 50 goal scorer Rantanen on the PP. That could be nice. Also brought in Calvin De Haan as he's a cheap decent bottom 6 dman.

I feel like this addresses some of what the Avs were looking for. A solid 2C (Who can grow and still get better) A draft pick to help with their shallow prospect pool (is 2nd too much? Should it be a 3rd?) And it helps revamp the bottom 6 a bit with the additions of Drouin and Foudy. Let me know your thoughts. :)
