Good add to their middle 6. And if they add Drpuin too that's a couple of sneaky trades

Sens get a 2021 4th for him from Colorado but they dealt Nick Ebert and their own 2021 4th for him earlier in the year

No asset escalation there

The prices for Green and Namestnikov have been quite reasonable and I would have been okay with the Flames spending that much.

Hopefully the work they do today is more on the larger variety.

It really feels like flames are big game hunting. Flames were apparently in the conversation for the guy, and you have to think a 4th would be completely acceptable asset cost.

Friggin Avs. One of the deepest teams in the league and still sitting on 17 trillion in cap space.

Now is the chance to go for it before Mackinnon and Makars next contracts.

Remember when people thought Sakic was a joke of a GM?

He was at first. Tried building an old, slow veteran team full of former Brent Sutter era Flames.

But since the post-Blake Comeau era began he's completely turned it around. Total change in philosophy from free agency to drafting.

Doesn't hurt that he bottomed out a couple times and picked up Rantanen and Makar though.

Namestikov is being interviewed now on TSN. I am surprised to hear he sounds like a Canadian.

The Avs finished 21st in 2014-15 (the Flames currently sit 18th). Hardly bottoming out.

Rantanen was drafted #10 OA. I'd call that good scouting, rather than good fortune.

The Avs are a testament to how one disapointing year doesn't mean that your core is sunk forever.

That couldn't be relevant to any teams that we know about, could it?
