    I highly highly highly doubt Colorado considers this for one second.

    Kakko for Toews was my alternative...but I don't think it would have allowed them to keep Saad.

    Makar is literally a generational defensemen. Besides McDavid Matthews and Mackinnon he probably has the highest value in the league

    Hm. It's naturally a decent return but I think this just highlights how untouchable Makar is. The small likelihood that Laffy is Yakupov also crucial 😬

    I wouldn't really say Colorado have cap problems though with Francouz being a very good goalie and it being so easy to replace people on their roster

    Byram (+ Jacob Macdonald) can replace Graves

    Newhook/Kaut can fill in well for Donskoi etc.

    Lafreniere could be a generational winger too.

    The small likelihood that [anything happening] exists in any trade, with any player.

    Tail risk. Can't worry about those things.

    Lafreniere MIGHT be a star winger. Makar is already arguably the best defensemen in the NHL and is only getting better

    Maybe maybe not is Sakic that big a poker player? 8 million more in 1 less year in a state with no state income tax

    I have no doubts that the contract is already done - just waiting until after expansion draft to sign it.

    This isn’t in the stratosphere of making the aves think. This is a, “haha, no.” Reaction. I’m trying to think of ways you can make it reasonable without fox, and I don’t think there is one.
    May laf, kakko, two top prospects and three firsts or something.

    Why would the Rangers ever do that? Talk about losing a trade hard while also getting something they don't need
