Confirmed with Link: Avs trade de Haan, Parsinnen, a 2nd and a 4th to NYR for Lindgren (50% retained), Vesey, prospect Hank Kempf

[GirardSpinorama]

But we can trust our pro scouts. Eller/Parsinen/Mitts/Ryjo/Georgiev/CDH/Woods/Colton. Just a who’s who of home run player assessment.

No one bats 100. I dont actually hate any of those players you mentioned. just average acquitions because we were spoiled by the big wins. Even georgiev had a very good 1 year.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

I still dont get this trade......

CDH removal + 3rd pairing PKer

 

[EdAVSfan]

I’ll be curious to see how the prices for this deadline look.

It seems that while prices each deadline are within ranges, each deadline can have a higher general price vs others with a lower general cost.

Future moves will show us where we are cost wise this deadline.

 

[Arto Kilponen]

Remember when we told Habs fans that Newhook wasn't good at center and wasn't that fast and they were calling us crazy? Or when we told Leaf fans that Kerfoot wasn't a Selke caliber center? Or when we told Wings fans that JTC wasn't a suitable 2C? All these fanbases agree with us now.

Fans know better than anyone, they watch these guys every day. You should trust them.

Fans are biased. I'd even say "biased" is the definition of a fan.

 

[The Moops]

Also, I still haven't forgotten Lindgren trying to kill Donskoi and then having his face rearranged by Kadri.

Literally the only thing I know about him

 

[Bonzai12]

I still can’t get over the 2nd round pick being in this deal.

 

[Richard88]

I actually kinda like it, not gonna lie. Traded a player the coach doesn't believe exists (Parssinen) and a player none of us wanted the coach to believe exists (de Haan) plus the profits from fleecing the canes (hehe) for what I'm going to call a clear upgrade on the bottom pair... and Vesey lol

If you look at the trade as the 2nd+4th being the Canes' picks then it effectively makes the two trades combined:

Rantanen
Parssinen

For

Necas
Drury
Lindgren (50%)
Vesey

 

[AvsWraith]

Damn, could've used both of those 2nds to get someone good.

And I thought we learned our lesson about trading with the Rangers after the 4Giev debacle, but I guess not. Rangers fans told us...

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Damn, could've used both of those 2nds to get someone good.

Such as?

 

[Golden Foppa]

I don't understand why the 2 was included. Avs basically swapped their spare parts for another team's spare parts and somehow lost a 2nd round pick in the process.

 

[AvsWraith]

Such as?

Sum Wun Guud. Best Chinese hockey player on the planet.

 

[Pokecheque]

The pro scouting department has fallen off a cliff this past year. CDH, Kylington, Brannstrom, Kelly, Mitts, Parssinen...all abject failures.

I wouldn’t ever call Kelly an abject failure, certainly not after he was shoehorned into the 3C role for a huge chunk of this season. And I’ve complained quite a bit about his abhorrent lack of scoring.

Still holding out hope on Kylington.

The rest of those guys however, yeah.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

@a mangy Meowth getting into an argument with a guy who thinks drafting a bust like Lias Andersson 7th overall and trading him for a second rounder to draft a role player is an absolute win.

 

[niwotsblessing]

I don't understand why the 2 was included. Avs basically swapped their spare parts for another team's spare parts and somehow lost a 2nd round pick in the process.

Probably to get CDH off the roster.

 

[Golden Foppa]

I think this is a good trade, but I also think I can fix Britney Spears

I think Hank Kampf means "His struggle" in German.

Avs traded for Lindgren, Vessey, and a paperback copy of Mein Kampf translated to English.

My god... and I thought what I said was condescending

 

[BaconNater]

What also sucks about this trade is now we have to be disappointed today AND now be disappointed on deadline day again

 

[Golden Foppa]

Probably to get CDH off the roster.

And that's a problem. They had to lose a 1 to get Johansen and his contract off the books and now losing a 2 to get a competent body to replace another disaster of an acquisition and make the money work.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Probably to get CDH off the roster.

I hope not.

CdH makes $800k, unsigned past this year, and could’ve just been waived and sent to the Eagles.

CdH and Vesey are probably a wash. Contract for contract.

Lindgren(D) for Parssinen(F) meant the Rangers wanted to dump a forward and Avs wanted to dump a D. Thus, CdH/Vesey.

 

[Ceremony]

Such as?

Devon Toews, obviously.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Devon Toews, obviously.

You're so right

 

[Gruyeriev]

This must have been what LeBrun and Friedman meant when they said “the Avs weren’t done!”

 

[hockeyfish]

Such as?

Toews!

Edit. Beaten.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

My god... and I thought what I said was condescending

If any Avs fans would talk shit about getting Sturm for Jost I would call that out too.

Should feel shame for using a top ten pick on Jost not gloating because the Avs got some faceless jobber when they cut bait.

 

[Snow Arc]

It's an overpay for what we got, unless another shoe drops
