Tell It Avs It Is - Matthew Tkachuk trade and the NHL Balance of Power - S2

News has dried up for the Avs lately, and there is STILL no updates on Nazem Kadri. However, one of the biggest trades in recent NHL history happened on Friday night, as Matthew Tkachuk was traded from the Flames to the Florida Panthers in a package that included Jonathan Huberdeau. Who won this deal, and how will it age? Also, the Blue Jackets made one of the dumbest moves of the offseason by cap dumping Oliver Bjorkstrand to Seattle. With all this going on, has any of the balance of power shifted, and is there anybody to challenge the Avs.
