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

Not to be confused with a water dude

 

[Richard88]

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.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

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.

 

[GoNordiquesGo]

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

 

[RoyIsALegend]

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

 

[Coffees]

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

He's going to be glued to Quinn Hughes

They should try it at least, or would Oilers just walk right through them if that was the case?

Literally everybody including the Canadiens would walk right through that pairing

Fine, 7th D then

But Kylington is going to replace Girard right @AvStock!

They are the guys that always bang the local hot milfs that are unappreciated by their husbands

Extra bullet in the gun.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

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

You can, as long as the team he's traded to is aware of it.

You can't waive an injured player.

Hey outsider here.

This trade is purely a cap implications deal for the start of the season LTIR max relief for COL and to help Van accrue cap space plus add a depth LD

Nucks are trying hard to be able to accrue space for a later season deal for a top4 D while it makes sense that you guys will be operating in LTIR for the year to just maximize the relief for when Nuke and or Landy get sorted and to balance that situation as Nukes hit will be back in November/December if he can get it together

Puckpedia.com is a good source for cap implications if you haven't seen that site yet

Oh and LTIR can only be maximized by being above the ceiling and doesn't add cap space just space to replce the player LTIR'd above the cap ceiling which is why your management made this deal. You guys are eating 1.5 million in salary so that got a 4th and you got rid of a bad fit

 

[Metallo]

Is the insurance paying for Poolman?
