The details matter to me. Maybe they don't to you. Ok, that's fine. Of course it's a downgrade. going from pick #31 to pick #32 is a downgrade. But that value isn't the same as going from #1 to #2. You know all this. Forget any of the players moving up from the VAN 2nd to the COL 1st isn't likely worth the TBL 2nd round pick ALONE. So, why are the Hawks going out of their way to help the Avalanche both in players and picks? Doesn't make any sense at all.
The 2023 draft class is leaps and bounds better than 2024
The hawks are not helping the avs in players and picks, the avs getting an older more expensive pending ufa winger who can’t play defense for the avs younger signed winger who is one of their top pkers, good defensively, etc etc
Also the hawks get the most valuable pick. The 2023 1st rounder. The 2024 and 2025th are must weaker drafts, you arent moving up in value in picks in 1 draft, you are trying to buy a 2023 1st pick. There is a major different in trade value of these picks
Aa is worth around a 4th round pick as a rental. You are upgrading picks to the 2023rd 1st and getting a a good young player with term with a low aav
I like to pay attention to the details as well
