This is a good move for Caleb Jones. Colorado has Jack Johnson as their 6D. If he can play even halfway-decently, he should be able to be a regular lineup player on another possible contender.

I don't mind trading him... I don't fully understand acquiring a 26-year-old AHL veteran when we don't have an AHL team to provide that veteran leadership to... but it's not something I'll lose a second of sleep over.

I assume we gave Jones a chance to win a roster spot. When that didnt happen, he asked to be traded to a team where he has a chance to at least be the 1st call up. no biggie.

Since the Avs are my second team, I like the move for them. Their blue line doesn't tend to stay healthy. For the Canes, the little I recall of seeing and hearing of Burke, it seems like he could fill the MacEachern-type role in a pinch. But I'd hope we would call up some of our actual prospects before him.

So will both Jones and Burke be playing with the Eagles? How often do players who were traded for each other wind up playing on the same roster like that?

why would we trade a defenseman for a law firm? Did we sign Link Gaetz or something?

This is essentially Caleb Jones for "future considerations", so we just picked an undersized forward already playing with the Eagles in the AHL this year to offset a contract slot for the Avs and not move anybody around.

This man has two last names wtf
Yeah, that's a weird one. Closest thing I can think of was trading Josef Vasicek (RIP Condor) to Nashville for Scott Walker, then later trading Eric Belanger (lol) for Vasicek. So they were traded for each other, and played games together the same season, but I can't think of another instance where guys were traded and immediately played together.

we did do the split affiliation thing a few times. with Nashville in the covid year (don't recall us making a trade with them that year) and w Calgary during the lockout year in Lowell, as well as Colorado some other year. A pretty familiar name in Mike Commodore was acquired during that time frame, though I don't think he played a single game with Lowell after that trade was made.
