What a great haul!

Lou did great.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Lou going to cancel the trade since someone from Colorados camp leaked it to Friedman

That's grounds for beheading in the Avs org

 

[Muffin]

Really expensive. Guess the Avs were not that high on Ritchie

 

[Soundgarden]

Damn. What a haul for Nyi

 

[impaaaaaact]

hooooooly

 

[creg]

It's actually crazy that Nelson had to deny a contract offer to get this deal done, what a f***ing Haul and what a gift Brock is leaving the island

Supply x demand

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Huge price paid but as an Avs fan I don't care... All in for another cup should be the mandate every year, just like Tampa.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Avs need a dman too..

 

[Koivu11]

Steep price for a 50 year old.

 

[Calad]

 

[Ncit3]

Honestly I am happy it's Ritchie and not Gulyayev

 

[Drury_Sakic]

Well, did not really see a deal where they got a center without trading Mittlestadt. But they did.

Wonder if they keep him as the 2 c next year after Nelson presumably walks.

 

[Boomstick]

Wow. Big deal. Isles did well.

 

[AslanRH]

woof. I get it, but don't like it as much as I should

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

I hope you get your asking price, but it wouldn't be from this pretend GM lol

Well it seems like Colorado paid up with Ritchie and a first.

Good luck to you guys in the playoffs regardless.

 

[Cypher]

It's fine.

A late first
A 3rd if they win the cup
And Ritchie.... who's kinda had a down year this year. Not that impressive at the WJC, and hasn't light up the OHL as much as he did last year. Better to trade him than a D prospect.

[bleuetbio]

I hate this trade, probably the worst made by the Avs in the last decade.

Congrats to Lou.

I don't know why? What does Cal and a 1st really do for Colorado? We already should realize that after this window closes we're going to suck ass for a few years. I'm fine with this price. Nelson plays a game that will fit perfectly with Colorado.

 

[Cogburn]

That seems like a good deal for Colorado, recent trades considered.

 

[Mobiandi]

Avs have been aching to trade Ritchie all year. But for Brock Nelson, that’s the guy?

 

[TheFalk]

steep price

 

[Static]

Man that is steep. Colorado needs to re-sign him at that price.

Every team right now looking at their inventory screen to see what they can live without. These prices are crazy inflated.
