I actually like this quite a bit. I've always liked Yandle, and his value is pretty low right now. Not sure about some of the lineup decisions, but the trade value seems fair to me. Holden is a decent piece, but doesn't really need to be in the Avs future plans despite having a pretty good year. (I'll admit, I am SICK of the Holden-Barrie pairing.) Bleakley has no future with the Avs, I highly doubt we ever sign him, so it doesn't hurt to lose him. IMO, the thing that hurts the most is the 2nd, but it's a smart move making it a conditional 1st based on him signing. Depending on how he plays, we might not even want to sign him. So, sure, give up 3 relatively expendable assets for 20 games of a guy who should improve our D.
