<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>Has Colton raised his value?

Presumably 37th overall was the best offer back then for Colton. With a cap crunch getting back what you paid for Colton should be the expectation</div></div>

Colton has most certainly raised his value (playing C which he hadn't played all that much in the NHL until this year and doing it well whilst maintaining his points pace) and he's also signed. You aren't trading for his RFA rights. You'd need to ante up for him, regardless of the cap crunch. He'd be in demand if he were made available. Whilst Avs fans like myself are saying he's moveable and might be the piece that has to be sacrificed it WILL be a sacrifice. It isn't that any of us dislike him or don't believe he's delivered.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dgibb10</b></div><div>I would prefer to keep Holtz ideally.

Colton cost a 2nd to acquire, for cap space i'd offer back what you paid.

I'm estimating what Georgiev would cost at a 3rd, could be off on that.

Overall, I'd offer NJDs pair of 2nds next years. or a 2nd+3rd for just Colton.

Some NJD fans have fallen out of favour with holtz however, and NJDs front office may feel the same, but I doubt it</div></div>

I can see why you'd want to keep Holtz, still plenty of upside there, and a pair of 2nds for Colton would be what I'd expect the Avs to be looking for if we're talking pure pick value for Colton. Have to remember they traded a 2nd for his rights, not a signed Colton. That said, I'd expect teams to give lowball offers to a degree with the Avs cap situation.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_92</b></div><div>This hometown narrative with every player is ridiculous. Not every player wants to play at home. But every player wants to win and Colorado gives him a far better chance to do that than New Jersey.

He signed his deal with a NTC in the second year for a reason - he knew they’d be in a cap crunch and didn’t wanna be dealt. I’d bet my bank account that he wouldn’t waive it</div></div>

Colton is one of the few who has been vocal about it. Regardless, he's arguably the piece that's easiest to deal and easiest to replace at a cheaper price and the Avs would almost certainly have to accept the deal. Works for both teams and that NTC doesn't kick in until the second year and likely that's part of the reason it's there from the Avs PoV....to give them that option.
