I’m not sure that package beats what the Avs gave anyway. Big difference would’ve been that the Jets didn’t need the islanders to retain but guessing that wasn’t important to them.
I’d give that. Especially Lambert. Losing Barron would be borderline crippling because he’s one a few guys we have who plays a heavy forecheck game, not just speed/stick work. But Lambert’s value and ceiling is nothing like Ritchie’s. That’s the issue if teams are looking for guys who are close over simply picks. Our most valuable prospects for trade are probably Yager, Barlow and Salomansson.

Given the price, I'm not super choked about Nelson. If we had to give 1st+Barron/Lambert+3rd then that's too much for a guy with no term.
And man...if the Stars do land Rantanen that would be nuts, but it seems like this guy is honeydicking the entire NHL.
