I see it from both sides and like it! Colorado makes the West really tough (Chicago,Nashville, St.Louis) all don't like it.
Huge winner in this trade is Vegas....Colorado will have 3 solid goalies and only 1 can be protected.
management thinks that the Avs are the big winners here.
The Avs have guaranteed that no matter what happens they will have 2 goalies next year. Vegas can only draft 2 goalies total, and we may look elsewhere for that.
What are the Avs giving up for one of the best goaltenders in the NHL? A bunch of guys not in the NHL. There is no way it doesn't make them better.
will select the best "long term" net minders we can find. Regardless of whose team they are on or how many goalies that team has.
