Confirmed Trade: [COL/NSH] Colin Wilson for 2019 4th round pick

Offer sheet coming?

 

[Hivemind]

LOL how does everyone think that Duchene is involved? Or were you all being ironic because of the Duchene rumors.

Because Elliott Friedman said and tweeted that Duchene was involved

3.9m cap hit for 2 more years. Averages 32 points a season

 

[AvsCOL]

Love it for the Avs. Definitely a precursor to something bigger though.

It was a cap dump. Wilson has never been that good, basically had one good season and a decent playoff or two. This last playoffs he did practically nothing.

He may be better with someone else, but his potential was better than his actual play was.

Avs dont care, they are not concerned about the cap this season or the next. Anyone else on the UFA market to fill a similar role would have cost close to that much on longer term. 2 years from now is when the Avs next wave of youth comes due, so no concern.

 

[Kale Hulls]

They could have got more for him.

I mean sure. A long time ago he was supposed to be better but by now we all know he's a 2nd-3rd line tweener. Still young and signed for a while. Unless Nashville is gearing for a big money move, this is poor business.

 

[CoachBadkitten]

Nice deal.

 

[Weast]

Good value but I'm very hesitant to trade draft picks in any round

 

[seabass45]

So what is NSH clearing space for? I would rather have Wilson than a 4th.

Bonino.

If this was all we could get for him, I'm okay with it, I'm sure he was shopped around. He was going to be bought out anyway and we didn't have to retain, win-win.

 

[PerdFan]

Essentially Wilson for Bonino and a 4th. Preds have young guys that need to move up and fill Wilson's spot. As usual, Poile is a magician especially since they were talking about a buyout with Wilson.

 

[Crede777]

Bonino.

And Johansen.

Goal is to add a little more but mainly to keep core intact for as long as possible.

 

[SirPaste]

Wow only a 4th?

 

[Soedy]

Good value but I'm very hesitant to trade draft picks in any round

If it works wrll, they can get a similar pick back at the 2019 TDL.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Wow! Brutal move.

 

[AvsCOL]

Friedman had a bad error then 95 posts popped up here with guys wanting to be first for some dumb reason.

Basically a ton of admins and tv guys looking like fools.

Everyone wants to be the guy to break the story, and Friedman is no different. He jumped the gun and made a huge mistake on live TV. That's why he'll never have the level of respect that guys like Bob McKenzie has.

Accuracy >>>

 

[Armourboy]

Bonino.

Didn't need too if Fisher was retiring ( which Poile believes he is).

 

[tucker3434]

Avs have a desperate need for decent depth. Wilson is overpaid but the Avs have tons of cap space. Seems like a solid move for both teams.

Johansen is getting a lot of that...

Well if that's true it works out well for everyone. Avs desperately need someone like Wilson and if he plays well they could move him at the deadline.

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Nice deal for the Preds. Cap relief.

Only 2 years left at $3.9M per. Certainly don't mind paying that with the Avs having so much cap space right now.

 

[Armourboy]

Roughly half at most. Still don't think that or Bonino is the reason for the dump, but we shall see.
