Maybe that was just a cash thing?The 20% retention is what's confusing me on this.
He was also saying Brannstrom was fine in the preseason when I reality Brannstrom was pretty bad. Not sure what he was watchinglol Rudo yesterday really didn't like/understand the Ludvig claim and now this
It's more like a 4th for taking Poolman's LTIR deal and then Brännström sent out for nothing. Vancouver immediately waived him so clearly they didn't see much value in him asset wise. What's of value for them is the ability to accrue and $$$ savings.okay, thanks to those tweets above I can now understand the idea behind this, cap wise.
but even without it, they just changed a failed garbage bin signing before the season even starts into a 4th. thats is a W. too bad they cant draft shit still, but lets not talk about that now. lol
Looks like it was a fight between Kylington, Malinski, and Brännström for one spot and Malinski won, so the front office looked to add a LHS to complement him. Had either Kylington or Brännström won the job maybe the front office would have looked at a RHD instead.I'd not go that far but with Malinski forcing their hand on the right side they didn't really have a choice
Capfriendly being down makes it harder for casual fans to find info, which creates an opportunity for the media guys to actually become a source of information if they just do some light research... Alas...Also why is that so many of our “reporters” didn’t know that Poolman is pretty much retired? Seems like the easiest gig in the world to be an Aves reporter. Claim a lack of cooperation from the Avs when you’re wrong or late, and then be so small time that not knowing this Poolman stuff doesn’t even get acknowledged by your audience
I’d blame the way news has to be broken immediately - if you didn’t happen to know the entire leagues LTIR situation by heartAlso why is that so many of our “reporters” didn’t know that Poolman is pretty much retired?

I would have kept Brannstrom over Kylington personally but neither have looked good this preseason.
I would not, Brannstrom plays too much of a risky game, but without the Dumba offence or physicality that comes with it.I would have kept Brannstrom over Kylington personally but neither have looked good this preseason.
You're odd!Odd trade.
You're a piece of shit.I’ll take a 4th for a pile of shit, thank you very much.
I mean I don’t caps lock it all, but basically yeahYou're odd!
You're a piece of shit.
NO, YOU DELETE!
am I doing this right?
Perhaps the guy should watch the games, then, rather than posting a bunch of numbers while ignoring how bad Brannstrom has looked thus far.lol Rudo yesterday really didn't like/understand the Ludvig claim and now this
Wasn't Brannstrom's contract fully buryable in the minors?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.
