Guessing the holdup in getting details is Jones waiving his NMC.

If Mikko truly wanted 14m annually even on an 8 year deal, none of us can be upset with trading him.

Loved Moose, but you can’t honestly watch him game in and game out and say he’s worth that.

He may or may not be worth it, but that's not even the issue IMO. The Avs just can't afford it.

you are correct , The Moose is really good but at 14M it's money for a player who carries the team on his back game in game out ... Rantanen wasnt this player

 

[The Pwnerer]

RIP to Landeskog- Mackinnon- Rantanen, one of the greatest lines in Avs history. The shock will slowly turn into somber when I realized we just lost the Moose!

 

[Avs_19]

So this is why Landeskog is on the trip. You were onto something @dahrougem2

 

[CobraAcesS]

There's still more to this. Why would Chicago be scouting us if they were only sending Hall to Carolina

One of the reports said there was a lot of moving pieces.

Getting another roster player along with Necas.

 

[5280]

Holy shit

 

[JoeSakic13]

I mean definite bias, but I’d much prefer Rantanen over Miller. Just Miller was getting more trade buzz.

 

[Avs425]

Next time buy a prius

Wow. I go truck shopping and come back to Mikko being traded.

OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS I CAN'T BELIEVE IT

 

[Avs_19]

Necas and what else? What else damn it.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Getting another roster player along with Necas.

Jost...

 

[Cypher]

If it's another roster player from the Canes, I'm guessing Jack Drury, to place 3C

I watch draisaitl and I watch Mikko - Mikko doesn’t at all bring to a game what draisaitl does. He doesn’t deserve that type of deal.

Jost...

You wanna get banned?

 

[Balthazar]

So we're getting 2 guys from the Canes? Necas + someone else.

Gotta be a dman.

Edit: FFS not Kotkaniemi

[lionsDen]

This is f***ing bullshit

 

[AVSfan2daMAX]

CMac is a ballsy GM. This either extends the Avs contention window or slams it shut. They just traded away a top 10 player away but might have bought some needed cap flexibility.

OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

I think this thread has been hijacked for long enough since you dropped this bombshell.

What kind of pickup you looking for?

 

[Avs_19]

Jesperi and that contract? No ****ing way.

 

[Fantomas]

Jackson Blake would be a great acquisition for the Avs, but not sure the Canes would be willing.

 

[dahrougem2]

Oh god now I HATE this deal.

Kotkaniemi blows
