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.

A 20 point center is a pretty poor 3rd line center. He probably is a 3rd line center on their team but not on most teams.
