Ottawa is a dumpster fire and Colorado has their 1st round pick this year. Yikes.
Avs didn’t even need to get anything back from getting rid of Duchebag and it still would have been a positive.
Even without the first round pick the rest of the pieces were pretty good. The possibility that this turns into a 1st overall pick is insane.
Don't forget that Ottawa claims that they knew they needed to rebuild last April. Then in June at the draft they had the option of giving Colorado their 2018 number 4 overall pick or their 2019 1st round pick.
They decided to keep that pick and give them the 2019 pick instead.
So you knew that 2018/19 was going to be a tire fire. You knew that Jack Hughes was the clear cut #1 pick in 2019. And for some reason you decided, screw it, let Colorado have our 20% chance of getting #1 in 2019.
How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?
