2-way deal? Colorado trying to stockpile the worst 1st overalls?

I guess it's a worth while gamble considering they can't possibly be any worse right?

Wow. Probably the very worst choice for Yakupov to sign with. They make everyone crappy on that team.
I imagine seeing the dollars and term (and the date) that this may have been the only offer Yak received this off-season. Poor guy, there's no hope for him there.

They protected Blake Comeau in the expansion draft. Fair to say they've hit rock bottom.
Too bad for Yak. It was fun to see him fail up north, but it's just sad now. On the bright side, at least it's not a PTO!

Looks like a 1 year $875k one-way contract.

Sakic is free to trade Duchene now, he's replaced his output.

It's like Sakic is trying to double down and be worse than last year.

They ditch Grigorenko and sign Yakupov, makes perfect sense.
