Certainly disagree with that.
If they were able to get a high end 3C and retain the rest of our Top 9, they'd be set up extremely well. And Jenner would be one of the absolute best 3Cs in the league.
If they could ice:
Drouin - Mack - Mikkk
Lehky - Mitts - Nuke
Landy - Jenner - LOC
Wood - ???? - Kovalenko
For the forward core next year. That's a group that could absolutely win the cup again. No doubt about it.
Not saying he's not a good player but trading a 1st + another former first that just had a strong year basically showing that he should have been picked higher last year is probably not a great idea.
I don't believe ANY team has
ever given up that much for a player that is known to only be a #3C.
Sure that roster looks good on paper but we can't just expect Landeskog is goign to be back to normal - no problems... I mean it might happen and I hope it does but it's not a guarantee. The same for #13. Odds are he doesn't play again for the Avs and if he actually does, he just might get himself suspended for a whole year this time and waste another year of this teams' window.
If everything goes perfectly then maybe we'd have a shot but as we've seen, nothing ever does and we're handcuffed by the cap unless CMac makes some big decisions.
For instance, shouldn't we be able to find a goaltender from whatever is left over on the scrap heap of the UFA market that would be able to match Georgiev's 0.899 sv percentage for a fraction of the cost? I would think so. I'd trade that guy a hell of a lot faster than I would Colton, personally.
