They talked trade in the summer as well. So it’s not like they just switched positions. Also the lack of depth probably helped make it easier dealing him.
While Necas is a downgrade they did get a 3rd line C that can win faceoffs they have cap space and picks to get more pieces.
Colorado was deep deep team when they won. They know what it takes and having 3 players produce won’t get it done. They also know they needed a goalie and went and got one.
While it stings to lose a player like this, Colorado wants to win cups not produce the most 100 point players.
