I could be wrong but I think it’s those guys that clean pools no?

Not to be confused with a water dude

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

More like we got a 4th for taking on an LTIR capdump, albeit a capdump with benefits for us specifically. Brännström would likely have been waived today by the Avs anyways so his inclusion in the trade is essentially negligible.

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

Neither of these guys have upside. Brannstrom got traded because he comes up first in alphabetical order.

Likely that Branstrom is a nothing in this.
Vancouver paid a 4th to unload an injured guy.
Colorado monetized their LTIRed situation and apparently even generated cap space out of it. So they got paid a 4th, to increase their cap space, that's actually quite fantastic. Seems like their only downside is they have a greater real cash salary to pay. So if I'm getting this right, the cheap ass Avs owner have accepted to shell out cash in order to acquire an asset and cap space. Interesting...

How Rudo got a job covering hockey I’ll never know.

Do you happen to know what are the actual benefits here? Like many in the thread, I am struggling to understand how this impacts anything apart from making accruing cap space while Nuke's contract is excluded from the cap potentially more difficult

This appears to be opposite. It seems as though this puts the Avs extremely close to the cap, allowing them to accrue cap space more rapidly

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

If Malinski has won the 3RD spot then Kylington over Brannstrom makes more sense. Less risky player.

I don't think that's how it works...

Also, @Sea Eagles, I see you reading this thread. We've really missed you, mate. We'd love to have you back for the regular season and our Cup run

That's exactly how it works.

This would make sense
