brady wont get you rantanen lol but you should keep him.
why is pinto untouchable?
no one is going to touch batherson until the hockey canada investigation has concluded
Honestly, if I'm Colorado I seriously consider Brady for Rantanen... Maybe with a slight add from Ottawa.
Yeah there's a serious gap in production, but there's a serious gap in team quality and PP quality too. Rantanen puts up about 35-40% of his points on the PP, compared to Brady putting up around 30-35%. Do those numbers completely flip if they trade teams? Maybe not, but I think they move to even or maybe even slightly in Brady's favor.
Then add in the physical/agitator aspect Brady brings, plus contracts. (And cap is crucial for COL right now) Rantanen makes $1M more than Brady for the next two years. When he resigns, the three years after that he'll be making probably $3M - $3.5M more than Brady.
Side note: I think it's probably obvious to most teams that if there was any indication Batherson had a damning part in the Hockey Canada investigation, Ottawa would be giving him the same treatment as Formenton.
