JT Compher
Sam Bennett
Max Pacioretty
4th round pick(FLA) - From Calgary
4th round pick(EDM) - From Montreal
1st round pick(16) - From Colorado
Wait, so Calgary gets 16th for Bennett and a fourth? Montreal gives up Patches and a fourth, and all Colorado gives up is Compher? But somehow Colorado ends up with the best player in the trade ++? Yeah sure, this makes sense.
EDIT: Its like Habs fans have become masochists and propose deals where they get the short end of the stick because of PTSD caused by Bergervin.

Colorado also gives up the 16th.
Do you think the 16th overall is magicked out of thin air or what? Calling two 4th round picks "++" is also *interesting*
A 1st line, 30-40 goals scorer, is much harder to find than a solid middle 6 player. And the odds that 16th overall pick become good enough to make up for the difference between Patches and Compher is quite low. Of course Patches only has one year left and Avs already have Landeskog on LW, but still.Pretty meh as an Avs fan. I like Compher + 16th more. Not to say it isn't an unfair ask to me, but I just think Compher has another development level to reach that turns him into that really solid middle 6 player you don't find too easily. Plus the 16th is great striking position for a falling draft pick.

I do not disagree with that considering Patches will require 2-3M more per year than Skinner on his new contract, while being older.Avs would be better off trading for Skinner if they wanted to go the trade route.

Awful for the AVs losing Compher + 1st. CGY is unlikely to dump Bennett for a 1st, they might as well deal with the AVs.
Habs rob everyone.
Good because we prefer Bennett to your 1st by much more than a lot. Keep your magoc beans, this is terrible for the Flames.I prefer Colorado's first to Bennett by a lot... no need for Calgary to be there if the Avs want Pacioretty... which they should. Every habs player going to Colorado do well, very well, too well...
