Do they have the cap for all these moves?

Landeskog has been ruled out for the full season.  Colorado has ~15.5M in cap space with a roster of 14 per CapFriendly.  They only have 2 RFAs on the roster Malgin + Byram - everyone else UFAs.

Hey how about that!  Colorado had a draft pick but it wasn’t a “magic bean”.   They got someone that will help them this year.  Amazing!  My understanding was that picks were useless lottery tickets that don’t help you for at least 5 years. (And only if you’re lucky)

There's a difference between a team that is already won a cup and wants to stay competitive and one that can't even get to playoffs like ours.

Yes definitely.  You don’t use assets the same way when you’re in different positions.  But they are still assets none the less.

Colton hits a lot and wins a good number of draws, though he didn't take a whole lot this offseason. Seems to have a decent O-Zone ability, great forechecking, and lots of shots. 

 

I'm fine with Canucks missing on him, doesn't play much defense, and we need a shut down third line centre that PKs. Colton doesn't do that. And he's a left. He's not the 3rd line centre we need
