I was wondering if CMac might have eyes on any Avs or especially the Eagles players who can’t make the Avs roster. Will he now ask about Val? His contributions in the post season after 2022 leave a lot to be desired and that money would probably buy a reliable middle 6 forechecker and help towards some new left side defensemen if Kulak doesn’t re-sign. Maybe he covets Behrens or someone else that he drafted

I agree with the point you were making on the pod as well with all of this; it was time for this trade and the picks most likely aren’t staying in Colorado anyways.
