@adater Byram trade was absolutely brutal for the Avs. Left such a huge hole on D for a guy who was a risk to take and then had to pay someone else to take him. Bunch of other deals where he had to overpay for someone.
@Storm_3456 I was looking forward to an Avs v Canes final, I feel like that would've been a very entertaining series for everyone and either way I would've felt like the winner deserved it.
@landysknee Health definitely played a factor, unfortunately everyone seemed to get injured around the same time and they couldn't survive it. Who knows what happens if they stay healthy, but injuries happen to every team.
@Goatthingssss@PetersenWill No, Avs also wanted him when he hit UFA, just didn't have the cap space to pull it off realistically. But whatever lets you sleep better at night.
@Goatthingssss@PetersenWill Avs apparently tried for Ehlers too, didn't get him. Avs could've traded for Hall, didn't. It makes a large difference. I'd rather Hall for a 3rd than Roy for a 1st. Getting business done matters, time it gets done less so.
