To flames: Matt Duchene (50% retained)

To Avalanche: valamaki+kylington+2019 1st

Duchene only has 2 years left on his contract and colarado is in the middle of a rebuild so they can afford to retain. Calgary pays a hefty price but is a legitimate cup contender next season

So the flames will have given up their 2017 1st, 2018 1st, and 2019 1st all in one off season? Not a chance any sane team does that.

CGY didn't trade the 2017 1st. They used it to draft Jusso Valimaki at 16 OA.

Didn't the Rangers trade their 1st round pick away like three straight years in a row? Pretty sure it was them. One of the years was when they traded for Marty STL.

SC4CGY - if you actually look at the trade proposal you will see Valimaki is included in the trade. Now, I'm no self proclaimed genius, but it doesn't take one to realize trading Valimaki is the exact same as trading their first round pick this year.

They traded their 2018 first for Hamonic, so trading Valimaki (2017 1st) and their 2019 1st is trading three years worth of 1st round picks is it not?

I'll wait to be corrected.
