Usually when i wake up and take a quick peek at the news of the day it's just a bunch of doom scrolling, but today is a good day

Apparently all of Nuke/Drouin/Landeskog/Kovalanko didn't work out and we have Parise in the top six...

My god we have a shit ton of wingers.

 

[CobraAcesS]

That'd be as good of defensive and pain in the ass line as there is in the league. I'd personally like one of Lehky or Nuke swapped with Rants to even out the offense.

Yeah, but I've given up on that lol.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Can’t doubt CWake anymore. Just like that he gets a top 4 D and a young 2C while gaining 2.85 mill in cap space.

Nice job!

We better be using that cap space. We need a backup goalie and another LHD with playoff experience.

The idea of Byram is just so much better than the reality of Byram. The reality of Byram today, and for the last couple seasons just hasn't been there. This is far from an infallible source, but it really shows the picture quite well.

From the Sabres board:

"Byram’s charts remind me a lot of early Dahlin."

Yeah, we have 3 mill in cap space gotta spend it

When Pavel and Foudy go back down, 4.6ish

I was never really afraid that CMac was going to do nothing. IMO this trade was pretty easy to call considering all the scouting both teams did on each others in the past two weeks and also considering that BUF needed a RHD and Byrum was playing on the right side for all games they were scouting. In fact I mentioned 3 or 4 days ago that this trade was probably already done by then and the Avs were just waiting to secure a dman first before pulling the trigger.

I am even happier about it now that I know that dman is Walker. What a day!!! And still not done most likely.

Question for you all. This was a trade that people conjured up as a want and wasn't publicized anywhere, do you think GMs look here and get trade ideas or is that wishful thinking?

yes

How soon we forget that Bo was arguably the best D-Man for the Avs in SCF vs. Tampa. The kid hasn't had a great year, but there is nothing like a trade to a last-place team and then a contract year to motivate a guy. I imagine he'll be quite a bit better for Buffalo next year.

 

[Alienblood]

That pairing if put together now would be nasty in a very BAD way for them.

gonna be the best pairing in the league

Nobody forgets the Cup finals as it was stated each time Byram’s struggles were brought up.

I just hope he doesn't get flipped to Vancouver. Imagine the Avs having to go through Vancouver with a motivated Byram for the foreseeable future?

Hopefully CMac at least got them to say they wouldn't do it this year.

There goes my favorite player. First Stazz, now this. Don't get me wrong, I understand the reasoning, just hurts. Also, Mittelstadt isn't exactly a goal scorer (he's more a setup guy), which I feel will frustrate people here.

Wait wait wait….

Am I seeing a negative post from you SE? This can’t be real…

 

[lionsDen]

You’re really finding every possible way to hate this trade.

Byram was a 4th overall pick, what about Ritchie, who else do we lose if Landy comes back…

Breathe, my friend. You’ve been following hockey long enough now to know this is part of the business. We’ll be alright.

Tomorrows problems, if we can figure out the goalie thing we’re in really good soit

Unfortunately bro we live in a cap world he was one of my favs as well

Everyone remembers.

Some just intentionally downplayed a 20 year old defenseman playing like the Avs best D in the Stanley Cup finals according to many, and acted like half a regular season of struggles was a better indicator of his ability.

Thats why you put him with Nuke and Lehk, who seem to be shoot first.

Yeah....I hate losing players I do get it, don't get me wrong. I understand it's for the betterment of the team. But yeah, is what it is. I get emotionally invested in our players.
