No way Colorado gives up that lottery pick with those kind of assets being offered up, and the Blues won't be giving up their best winger after Tarasenko.From STL

You're severely underrating Schwartz. Other than that, spot on tho.Why would Colorado do this?
Allen is literally useless to them, they already have Varlamov and Grubauer and I'd imagine they're content with what they've got.
Steen and Schwartz are good second liners but are expensive, something the Avs probably can't take on right now.
Also, why would they help the Blues rebuild that much faster?

would take Schwartz in a heart beat. would not give up ottawa's first so would need to be a completely different kind of trade.You're severely underrating Schwartz. Other than that, spot on tho.
If we're gunna get crazy, how about:
to STL:
OTT 1st + COL 1st + Kerfoot + any two non-Makar prospects we have...though I'd prefer to keep Kaut since we have so few RS forwards, but he wouldn't be a deal breaker...and a conditional 2020 1st that drops to a 2nd if we don't make it past the WCF
to COL:
Tarasenko + Schenn/ROR
Apparently there is no salary cap in crazytown.
Could Zadorov be available in a deal for Schenn?
Ha ha. It sounds like you don't like the idea of facing Zadorov on a divisional rival any more than we like the idea of facing Schenn. I completely hear you.Thus why I included Kerfoot
But we've been through this before, there would still be enough cap room to keep everyone we'd want to keep as long as we could let Varly walk & roll with Grubauer / Francouz in net.
I'm terrified that the FO might view Zads as more expendable than some of us do, but I really doubt Joe would send him anywhere where we'd have to play him more than twice a season. He likes hit & score goal, and we sure as s*** don't want him doing either to us...especially not with a chip on his shoulder over getting traded away
Plus our blueline depth is on right, not the left. After Girard & Zadorov the only LHDs we have worth a damn are Ian Cole and Patrick Nemeth, both of whom are ideally 3rd pairing PK-specialists...though Cole has been very solid when deputizing in the top 4. In the pipeline we have nothing on the left other than a long-term project we drafted late last year who probably won't ever amount to much.

Why on Earth would the Avs do this?
Allen has no value, Steen has no value. Schwartz with his injuries has little value.
It's an awful deal for the Avs.
Steen and Petro for Ottawa's 1st?How about Steen and Petro for the pick?
