I want to see these work out because I'd rather see more teams take these big swings. Reading this board for the past few years I almost believe 28 teams should try to out tank each other for a top 5 pick because they're wasting jet fuel if you don't win the cup.
This all said Colorado needs to shake things up. They did win that one cup, but been moving down since. They have legitimate top players at their position in Makar and MacKinnon plus some good complementary pieces. But they're not winning like a top 4 team. They're sitting around 12th in league standings. With players like McKinnon and Makar playing like they are...that's not good enough.

I do, yes. Thanks for asking.
You are arguing that you want to see more of these trades, but you're also arguing that they rarely work.
I considered the last cup winner, and they were a good example. The cup winner before that? Also a good example.
Before that? Colorado - they seem to be willing to make these kinds of moves.
Before that? Tampa - not at all afraid to make big moves to continue to be competitive.
Before that? St Louis - O'Reilly trade put them over the top.
So I am really not sure what you're arguing, or why you were put off by by reply.
