Confirmed Trade: [MIN/COL] Tyson Jost for Nico Sturm

Like this trade for the Wild

Jost will be a good middle six forward

Preference isn’t a guarantee.

No but it's a big factor with an nmc as we all know. That Friedman tidbit could also be total bull. Who knows

Jost will be a good middle six forward

This sounds familiar.

So the Wild don't need better goaltending, and defense, but character? I thought that was all solved when they got rid of Staal, Parise, Suter? Didn't realize that Sturm is also an evil villain.

One thing that Avs fans should not expect from Sturm is toughness. He is big, fast, and has a long reach, but is not a physical player.

Agreed that the Wild win this trade. But Sakic is clearing cap space for this year and beyond. 2 million off the cap next season might be used to extend Kadri, or sign a free agent who fills the role better than Jost did.

 

[Sota Popinski]

Guerin wants to create a new culture in that lockerroom. Jost is a great character guy and hard worker. He'll be a perfect fit there.

This assumes Sturm wasn't those things, which is false.

He doesn't need to be. Now only to rid the team of JTC and they are golden.

Depends on which Jost you get. Last year’s Jost? Perfect fit for Minny’s middle six. This year’s Jost? Perfect fit for Iowa’s middle six.

This sounds familiar.

So glad I never have to post any more Jost stats and analytics in trade threads to try to justify his trade value in proposals

Maltsev will likely be #4C next season.

Sturm is good in his role and Jost gets his chance. It's pretty fair trade considering Avalanche needed cap for Manson!

 

[57special]

Well, I will be happy for Sturm if he wins a Cup. I think he is an upgrade for CO. A fast team just got faster.

 

[BKarchitect]

Everyone is better when they have Nuke on their line.

Yes, let's hope we have Nuke on somebody's line for a long time to come after this summer...

 

[The Abusement Park]

Soooo... Chiarot to Colorado?

Would be an expensive 8D.

 

[BlueOil]

greener pastures for both perhaps

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Great trade for Minny. Avs trying to dump cap super hard!

 

[LaMasquerade]

My thoughts: Jost was given chance but he never looked like belonging. Young Sturm hasn't been exactly super either, but there might be surprise upside. Change of scenery might benefit both..

No, no it isn't.

 

[MNRube]

Sturm should be a nice fit for the Avs. He has the best motor of any Wild player since Parise and is content in a PK/4th line role. Nice piece for a real contender.

Wild are finding out they are not a real contender so they can roll the dice on Jost needing a fresh start. It’s a not that outlandish given his solid performance a year ago.

[StickShift]

Interesting to see two teams that could conceivably play each other in the 1st/2nd round make a trade with each other.

 

[Hasbro]

Bizarre, I don't like trading with the enemy

If they're getting screwed, I love it.

 

[D Wakaluk]

Avs fans seemed to dislike Jost

Sturm has a cool name.

I declare this a win for Colorado

 

[Bouboumaster]

Would be an expensive 8D.

He sure would be (1st pick or good prospect), but it's a small price to pay if he can help Colorado in some capacity to not choke like they did every so often, not unlike some versions of the Laffs in the West

Why would we do that when we could use a 3C or extra bottom 6 winger? Would be a terrible use of assets imo.
