No, it's not obvious at all. And at one point I was a massive fan of Poolparty. I was one of the very few Avs fans who still believed in the kid and wanted him on the Avs as recently as just a few months ago as well.
But the guy is as dumb as a pile of rocks. Has no brain for the game whatsoever. And without that it doesn't matter how big he is. You cant teach a guy how to think the game at a higher level and because of that he's never going to be a quality impact player.
It's not about the value. It's about the Oilers wanting the Avs very best(By a large margin) prospect and the one piece in our system with legit #1D upside, and offering a bunch of spare parts to get him. We're not making that kind of deal. We already have a tonne of spare parts in the Avs system already. The only way Makar is traded is if it's as a piece to get a better player(Like Draisaitl). Otherwise we're not moving him unless its for a stupid overpayment which said offer is not.
Just say you've never watched Makar play(Outside of a handful of Junior games 2 years ago maybe
) and move on with it.
You're really just embarrassing yourself now.
