That's probably a pretty fair trade in value. He's not a great 2C, but with strong wingers should fill the position adequately.

I don't hate this team in theory, but Roslovic's uncertain potential and his being UFA after this season is not worth a first that could likely be used for a longer-term solution. Big fan of COL picking up Fast.

I agree and that’s why it’s a gamble. We’re only moving down 7 spots in this trade and it’s way better than the Sharangovich trades floating around where we trade down essentially an entire round.

Then why would Columbus accept this move? Just to get rid of some cap, or whats in it for them?

Freeing up a roster spot. Columbus has something like 17 forwards to sort through this summer. Roslovic is an extremely frustrating player because he thinks he’s a center but he has no hockey IQ, so while he can do all of the actions of hockey very well he can’t anticipate.

In the description I said I saw it in a Columbus ACGM and wanted to do it from the Avs perspective. Not sure why Columbus would do it but I can see why the Avs would.
