I have no problem with the Salei move.
I do have a problem with the Avs trading a 1st round for Foote...especially when he is either a RFA or FA after this season. I like Foote, I believe that he is a good/tough defensive player. But he is old. It seems like the Avs refuse to learn that you shouldn't get rid of young prospects or draft picks.
I think 80% is a very optimistic view on Forsberg. I disagree that he is still better than 90% of the players. I love Foppa...but age/injuries have caught up to him. I hope he proves me wrong, but I am not getting my hopes up.
I think the Avs should have pushed more for offensive players. While they did need at least one strong defensive player (Salei), I think they need players to put the puck in the net more.
