COL

Drury, Jack

Additional Details:

I don't know the price, but I think Drury would be a nice fit in Colorado (and not just because of the last name). I could see him turning into a Compher type of guy for Bednar, but hopefully one who doesn't run so hot and cold. Not in love with giving up Olausson, who could be a good producer if he develops, but I think it's worth it here.

Olausson, Oskar
2024 4th round pick (COL)

COL

Timmins, Conor

Additional Details:

Bring him back on the cheap and see if that Byram/Timmins pairing that looked like it could be promising can still become a thing.

Carolina would need an NHL C back for Drury, which is why if you look at Canes ACGM's, you see a lot of Drury and a 2nd for Backlund from Calgary. Considering Colorado aren't much stronger down the middle than Carolina, there's not much to do here

Thanks. I do recognize that is a need for Carolina, but I also think they have other assets they can move if/when the time comes.

That said, in my mind you're probably right that this isn't something they'd be in love with. It's something I thought should be floated though.
