Told you so, Colton's a consistent scorer and Colorado needed to shed payroll bad. Smart move for them.

Let's break this down: Colton's on a reasonable deal through 2026 (~$4.1M AAV), Posch is a depth guy. Colorado gets two 3rds and clears ~$2.5M in cap space. The math works if they're retooling, but Chrona's ceiling is limited anyway. Probably fine for both sides.

Colton's a real center, good depth pickup! Colorado must be going younger, not a bad reset move!

@WingsInFour, I'm not so sure about "reset move" though - Chrona's a promising goalie and Colorado just gave him up for some decent pieces but ultimately nothing spectacular IMO. Agree Colton's a solid depth pickup, though!

I think you're being generous with "decent pieces" - Colton has been a middle-six center who averages around 2.5 high-danger chances per 60 minutes. Posch's Corsi rate isn't far off from his, but Chrona was the better goalie of the trio.
