I could be wrong but I think it’s those guys that clean pools no?What the f*** is a pool man
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.We got a draft pick for a player we picked up for free. Even if it’s just a 4th round pick
Neither of these guys have upside. Brannstrom got traded because he comes up first in alphabetical order.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
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 difficultMore like we got a 4th for taking on an LTIR capdump, albeit a capdump with benefits for us specifically.

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 rapidlyDo you happen to know what are the actual benefits here?

I would have kept Brannstrom over Kylington personally but neither have looked good this preseason.
I don't think that's how it works...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

This would make senseLikely 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...
He's going to be glued to Quinn HughesI wonder why Vancouver did this. Maybe hoping they can stuff Brannstrom in the AHL?
They should try it at least, or would Oilers just walk right through them if that was the case?
