Old JJ back to Denver eh!

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Englund is actually legit good. Like much better than JJ. I was fine getting JJ as an Avs fan but they just traded a better D for him. I don’t like it.

 

[AslanRH]

Bummer, I get it, but really liked Englund.

This is what I don't get. Do they feel like JJ is their lucky charm?

They must think they are missing what he brought to the room

 

[SnS]

Seems weird for Col.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

LOL .All I can say.

Yeah. It’s pretty weird. Happy JJ is back but this one doesn’t make much sense

More proven than Englund and I'm sure Bednar is confident in using JJ again come crunch time if necessary.

[hi]

All of the league offices resources on a Sunday were being used to finalize the Jack MFing Johnson trade. Meier details will be released immediately

Fair enough, I just thought Englund looked decent and we all know what JJ is like...

No. He stepped up last year, especially once Girard was injured against the Blues. I liked Englund. He's not an overly gifted player but he seems to understand that and sticks to things he's ok at. But this might be comfort level with playoff experience.

 

[NeverBeNormal]

I like it, the Avs have a decent record of winning Stanley Cups with players named Jack Johnson on the team.

 

[pockets]

Next up Sturm and Kadri…

 

[Maurice of Orange]

It’s such a lateral move.

Colorado’s answer to Timo Meier!

 

[JoeSakic13]

Welcome back JJ! Here’s a pic I took of his victory lap.

Avs answer for Meier is Mikko Rantanan! Sharks really messed that one up!

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Lol typical Avs trade. I really liked Englund but we valued the "experience".

 

[Treb]

Definitely a pure PO experience move.
