I like JTM. I would like to see JTM on my team. Not for Newhook, see above. Value is about there not the problem. Unlike some of my other fellow Avs fans, I would do a JTM for Barron + 1st, maybe throw in bowers. Helleson is great, more shut down D but in our bottom 4 that will be kind of needed with EJ coming off the books in 2 years. Barron is the best choice for EJs replacement, but in order to get one has to give. Avs don't need a top 6F, scoring is not a problem for the highest scoring team in the NHL, but JTM maybe that pc to push em over the edge. Plus I am a fan of his 2way game. And the extra year is the tipping point for the trade for me. Avs will lose one if not two of their 2nd line this summer, because they can't afford them in two years. Next year they are still golden. He would be a quality stop gap until Newhook and OO are ready, again hopefully in MacKs and BBs re-sign year. Not too many high quality Fs with just 1 yr left under contract in the 5mil range that would be worth the cost (top prospect + a 1st ect.) Drouin - NO, Zucker- NO, Dads - NO, JTM -Yes.
