To Colorado:
#13
James Reimer (2 years @3.4M)
COL 3rd round pick in 2020
To Florida:
#16
FLA 6th round pick in 2020 (or COL 6th round pick in 2020 if we somehow re-sign Brassard)
As I see it the Panthers are looking to make a splash in UFA this offseason.
But the cap is somewhat tough if you want to fit in say a Panarin + Bobrovsky. Especially if the rumo
Getting rid of Reimer for moving down 3 spots in the 1st and reversing the Brassard deal does not seem too pricey at the first glance.They also are very set at forward in their prospect pool. Especially at wing. So potentially losing out on the 2nd tier of forward prospects in this draft might not be that big of a deal.
For the Avs the appeal here is to use their capspace to jump up for whichever forward out of Krebs/Newhook/Cozens/Caufield/Podkolzin slides to #13 to bolster their forward depth. Would probably also make picking Byram at #4 a bit more realistic (at this moment I just don't see that happening unfortunately).
It also gives us back our 3rd next year and opens up possible offersheets (probably not gonna happen but still) in the summer. With the UFA class looking more and more bleak as the days go by (Hayes, Skinner contract, etc), using the massive amounts of capspace we have to give us more flexibility down the line seems preferable to throwing money at the 3rd tier UFAs come July 1st. And even if we foolishly still decide to do that, losing 3.4M probably won't hurt us too much in that regard given the oodles of capspace we have.
Reimers contract is a bad one but with Varly probably leaving and Francouz being somewhat of a wild card still, it wouldn't be all too horrible to have Reimer down in Loveland playing for the Eagles in the AHL for insurance.
