Recall that Oliver Bjorkstrand, a 57 point two-way player with a lot of term left, was traded for a 3rd and a 4th because the Jackets needed the cap space when they signed Gaudreau and Laine. I would expect a similar return for a diminished Taylor Hall since Boston would like to re-sign Bertuzzi and need the space.

The difference is that Colorado needs a LW with Landy out and the uncertrainty of Valeri....They make the perfect trade partner and can afford two decent prospects

Foudy and Olausson are the Avs two best offensive prospects. They won't give them both up for a guy on the downside of his career who they can maybe count on for 65 points. Maybe 1 of them and this year's 5th or the 2024 4th.
