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

[BrickNHL]

So how does this exactly work salary cap wise going forward?

 

[LOFIN]

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

Maybe that was just a cash thing?

More context of Poolman's situation

[BrickNHL]

Does this mean they can accrue even more space before Nuke comes back with Poolman’s added salary making it a higher percentage?

Someone please explain, I’m a dumbass

He was also saying Brannstrom was fine in the preseason when I reality Brannstrom was pretty bad. Not sure what he was watching

 

[McMetal]

I guess I wasn't the only one who found Brannstrom's game severely deficient this preseason. Kudos to the front office for finding a creative way to ease the defenseman logjam and solve a cap problem at the same time.

 

[Bone Breaker]

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

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.

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

 

[Richard88]

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

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.

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...

 

[henchman21]

Imagine thinking Brannstrom was fine.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Odd trade.

I’ll take a 4th for a pile of shit, thank you very much.

I’d blame the way news has to be broken immediately - if you didn’t happen to know the entire leagues LTIR situation by heart
you’d have to look it up and delay your tweet.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

I would have kept Brannstrom over Kylington personally but neither have looked good this preseason.

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

I always find it funny when media people drop an analytics card, like it’s gospel.

Look at the way the roster has to come together. There’s a surplus of puck movers for the bottom pair. The Avs didn’t give a damn about JJ having shit underlying numbers when he was on the team. They’re unloading a free asset for cap space and a trade asset. What’s confusing about that?

Oh my god, what are the Avs going to do without the dependability of Erik Bannstrom on their bottom pair?

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Yup but I dontthink other teams wanted Kylington.

 

[S E P H]

I would not, Brannstrom plays too much of a risky game, but without the Dumba offence or physicality that comes with it.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Odd trade.

You're odd!

You're a piece of shit.





NO, YOU DELETE!

















am I doing this right?

I mean I don’t caps lock it all, but basically yeah

Perhaps the guy should watch the games, then, rather than posting a bunch of numbers while ignoring how bad Brannstrom has looked thus far.

 

[Freaky Styley]

My guess is they see more upside in Kylington. He still has some rust to shake off due to his lack of play lately, but the bottom line is he's shown more ability at the NHL level than Brannstrom to date.

I'm still a little foggy on the cap implications, not sure if the Poolman inclusion is more beneficial for us or them

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Can anybody explain this to me the way Capfriendly would?

 

[MacKaRant]

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.

Wasn't Brannstrom's contract fully buryable in the minors?

 

[the_fan]

We got a draft pick for a player we picked up for free. Even if it’s just a 4th round pick
