Thank you CMac!

CMac loves to fish in his own ponds... now we'll see how much of a trade magician he really is as he deals with Colorado and Columbus on a regular basis.

 

[landstuhltaylor]

I'll pack his bags for him

Picks? As in plural? Even two 7ths is a great to get that cap hit out.

Ross is an alright player but wildly inconsistent and likes to take dumb penalties. Glad to take the cap space.

Slightly interesting that Colorado gets their own 2027 3rd back, opens up some offer sheet options for them.

 

[Avs44]

Not surprised. I think there's a good player in there but he hasn't worked well with Bednar and the opportunities he's had. Also not surprised CMac was interested and was simultaneously willing to help Sakic out with the Avs' cap situation.

I like how your brain works.

Magnus Chrona is the final form of Optimus Prime.

The Avs just added cap space at $4MM for next season. Nice move. That's money much better spent on keeping a Drury or Kulak or both given the Avs now have over $7MM to work with and few roster spots open.

Solid move. Avs get cap space and draft capital to trade.

RossCo is still a decent player. But there really isn't a good role for him anymore with the Avs. Trading him was obvious. Cap space is what matters for Colorado, the returning assets not that much.

 

[Cool Hand Puke]

Didn’t Chrona just sign in the SHL?

 

[Avs44]

Could be a great rebuilding move for the Predators too if they go that route, he's got one year left so if he plays well they could definitely get much more for him at the deadline from a contender loading up their depth.

Two thirds is a steal. Goalie swaps aren’t anything good.

 

[atlanticobserver]

Pretty even deal for both sides. I think I like the move more for Nashville, but what could Colorado really do? Solid for both

Not too much of a concern for the Avs right now. Blackwood, Wedgewood, Miner, Nabokov coming over, and the goalie they just signed.

I don't even know what that is about. The trade is about RossCo.
