Confirmed with Link: Avs Trade Brännstörm for Tucker Poolman + 4th

[LOFIN]

I didn’t think you could trade an injured player?

Not without his consent. If Poolman is really cooked, what does he care? Makes an extra buck with the lesser taxation of Colorado vs BC (though zero idea how that stuff works with injured players)?

So this is basically us getting a 4th so Vancouver can accumulate cap space this season?.... I guess it's fine. I also wonder if this means Landy will be on LTIR longer than we hoped to start the season.

Please take this trash back.

Isn't Nuke considered LTIR to start the year?

I don't really see the connection here

 

[Anders Cain]

I thought the opposite.. Clearing space for landy and nuke?

 

[LOFIN]

No. He won't count against the cap either.

 

[sethro109]

Isn't Nuke considered LTIR to start the year?

Oh maybe. I hadn't considered that. Nuke really is that gift that just keeps giving.

Hoping someone can put this in layman’s terms of why we’re doing this cap wise. The guy we are getting is LTIR or is it because our guys are gonna be LTIR?

 

[henchman21]

Making room for Landy and Nuke.

Yup… this should clear the final hurdle of cap. Avs also realized their defense was way too soft, so they got rid of arguably the softest guy.

 

[Freudian]

f***ing Vegas Colorado with their LTIR shenanigans.

 

[sethro109]

I don't really see the connection here

My logic was, if Landy was going to be on LTIR for a large portion of the season, then we wouldn't benefit much if at all from accumulating cap space this year. So it wouldn't matter if we got some other team's LTIR player.

This will add some excess room with Poolman on LTIR. Avs had about a million to figure out still when the wingers all came back and this accomplishes that.

I didn't even get to see Brännström play lol

Be glad you didn't. I argue he was around Beauchemin level bad during Roy's final season with us.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Free pick!

 

[AVSfan2daMAX]

I think CMac has navigated this off-season nicely with all the uncertainty. Management seems more willing to move on quickly from players than in the past.

Now we can accommodate Lehkonen, Nichushkin and Landeskog in the lineup.

 

[hockeyfish]

I wonder why Vancouver did this. Maybe hoping they can stuff Brannstrom in the AHL?

 

[Anders Cain]

Why'd you have to remind me of this guy... He must have tipped 20 goals into the avs net that season.. I remember specifically 3 in one game against the flames

 

[Avs_19]

Solid deal. They clearly realized both they and people like me were wrong about Brannstrom and moved on quick. Got a pick and that extra cap out of it.

 

[henchman21]

They get rid of salary commitment, can accrue, and get a guy they can probably use as a call up.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

The 20% retention is what's confusing me on this.

Isn't there some sort of weird caveat with LTIR and Cap space banking where its ideal to be as close to the cap as possible before utilizing LTIR, to either get additional space or to accrue the most or some nonsense?


Either way, I trust our nerds know exactly what they were doing with this deal and the fine details of it.

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

Can they actually roster Nuke and Landy now?

This is kind of a crazy forward group:

Drouin - MacK - Moose
Landy - Mitts - Nuke
Lehk - Colton - OC
Wood - Wags - Kivi/Kelly

 

[Balthazar]

Avs also realized their defense was way too soft

I'd not go that far but with Malinski forcing their hand on the right side they didn't really have a choice

They grabbed Ludvig and jettisoned one of the group of soft guys. They clearly wanted more grit.

I still remember all the times he did slapshots around the boards when he was behind our net to get the puck out of the zone, with the majority of them being picked off by opposing teams.
