Default Avs-Flames big move

To Colorado:
Rasmus Andersson
Matias Janmark
2021 1st

To Calgary:
JT Miller
3 million

I made this move specifically for cap reasons. After acquiring Sundqvist I was over the cap and still had a backup goalie needed to fill out my roster. This gives me a little bit more cap flexibility to fill the backup goalie spot and maybe an additional upgraded player going into free agency. I was never really attached to JT Miller as I had a bunch of trade discussions with him but I am hoping this is a sell high.

Not a huge Rasmus fan but he will fill out my bottom pair nicely.

I'm not a Miller fan so I like this for the Avs. But with Pettersson as his C, JT should do well for a while.

11 OVR upgrade for the Flames. Moving a 1st and a good young guy seems fair.

All depends what Andersson decides to be. Is he top pair or 2nd pair? Not sure if he has top pair quality. For the sake of the NHL Flames I hope he does!!

These were some fun back and forth trade talks. Miller is signed long term in Vancouver and playing alongside Elias we hope he can continue to produce for years to come.

I hope he is able to continue at his ppg pace but even if it drops off a bit, he is 27, has had a ppg pace over 50 points for almost every season and he plays C with a decent FO. He's a major upgrade on Rasmus and will center our top line. I think this deal comes out pretty even with each side taking some risk. Our roster really need some help up front and so to add a top 10 rated forward with almost half his cap really helps us heading into UFA signing.
