We have need of those as well.
Honestly, if the Avs didn't suck at drafting I'd be a lot more excited.
Sorry you mean, Sakic is cooking. The last two trades scream Sakic.
I have a sneaking suspicion that Sakic was trying to be hands off last year to give CMac a chance, and the results sucked. Now Sakic is back in fold and things are moving.
Exactly my thoughts, picks don't mean much to a team trying to win now.

I’d imagine those picks will just be flipped for immediate help, but I’m not an expert on your team.

Wow something has to be cooking with the open roster spot, assets and cap space gained. Best of luck to Newhook, had big shoes to fill but unfortunately we don't have time to wait and see.
Could see one of those picks flipped for Sharangovich.

Looks like they may have learned from the Jost debacle. Good for Newhook too to get closer to the Maritimes.
The picks will be used in another trade. Acquiring picks doesn't make much sense for teams trying to win now.

I do wonder if this is a sign that Newhook was asking for more than the Avs were willing to spend on him, and not just them cutting bait.

You would think. If they use the picks who is projected to go 31 and 37? Maybe replenishing the pipeline who knows.

f*** the pipeline, the Avs need to contend now when we still have Makar and Rants for relatively cheap. Toews as well. Someone who may play in 3 years is no good for us.

The happiest man in the org after Newhook was traded:
I don’t think JB liked the player at all and it showed in his ice-time in the playoffs.
Wish Newhook the best though. Seems like a good guy by all accounts.

Toffoli is a great fit but I hope they don't spend these picks on rentals.

I really like this deal, I was worried about his next contract, didn't want us to pay 2+ mill for him, now we have picks 27, 31, 37, not bad at all.

Hopefully Montreal can find a lid that fits his oddly shaped head

These picks better be traded within 48 hours.
I have zero faith in our scouting department drafting outside of the top 5 picks. I also have zero faith that whoever we draft will raise their stock by TDL.
Better have something big cooking.

Genuinely shocked the Avs got that for Newhook.
Now please please trade those picks. They are absolutely useless in this organization.
