HFBoards - View Single Post - Proposal: Paul Stastny+ for Joe Colborne+

Can any Leafs fans explain to me why Colorado would want to trade Stastny? He is a young top 6 Center in a league where winners are built with depth down the middle. The Avs are not in any sort of cap trouble, so cap relief isn't a good enough reason. The only reason I could see would be to fill a hole in their roster. If that is the case, the only real holes I see for Colorado is a top pairing D to play with EJ and a top line winger. Unless the Avs get one of those things there is absolutely no reason to move Stastny. A collection of lesser pieces won't improve the Avs at all. How would 2, 2nd/3rd line wingers improve the Avs at the expense of their 1st line Center?

The Leafs have a surplus of offensive D, would Leafs fans be okay with

Phaneuf for SOB, Tyson Barrie, and a 2nd?
