Confirmed with Link: Ross Colton Traded To Avs for #37 OA Pick In 2023 Draft, signs 4-year x $4M deal

[Grackle Party]

Damn love it! CMAC making moves

 

[Muffin]

56% on draws last year. With him and Johansen I think the Avs might actually be good on draws next year.

 

[Pokecheque]

Okay then, I am more than okay with this. I'm guessing a first rounder is involved somehow, either the Avs' or the one they got from the Habs...or both, it doesn't matter.

Much as I harp on this a little too much, Avs have now gone from one of the very worst faceoff teams in the league to (projected) one of the best. But that to me is a huge add.

 

[RampoSanta]

but can he win a FO? - I see 56%.... plan the parade

 

[The Kingslayer]

I would have traded Newhook for Colton straight up. Hell I would have added. I like Coltons game alot.

 

[The Pwnerer]

Cmac is absolutely cooking right now! Colton is everything you want in a playoff performing bottom six player. Gritty, playoff experience, RFA control. Great target of a player we added.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

So Mack-RyJo-Colton top 3 centers? Not bad at all. My what could have been if we had that last year lol.

Will he play C or wing? Sign him to QA ($1.25M) would allow the Avs to still sign JTC as 3C

 

[avalanche_country]

He seems like a good playoff performer as well in the bottom 6

 

[jaisen73]

UFA in a year might bring the price down

I would hope with they get a multi-year deal in place. I think I read he is RFA with arbitration rights, which is one reason Tampa was moving him. They're cap-strapped.

 

[The Kingslayer]

but can he win a FO?

Yes. He always has sand in his game.

He's RFA

*checks NHL.com*

Oh thank God he's at least 6'.

I went to see his stats and saw a video from hockeyfights, and I do like when he have some feisty guys with talent.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

I love Ross Colton. I expect the return to be high though. Definitely a 1st.

 

[Cake Malar]

Happy day

 

[Gumballhead]

Good for him.

And honestly, good for us. No way was he going to bring us the value of whatever his next contract looks like.

 

[Avs9296]

Nice! I'm guessing at least one of the 2 Newhook picks will be involved.

We badly needed to reshape the bottom six and give it a few more goals and some more sandpaper. This helps in that direction.

Still want a thicc boy like Crouse

 

[SuperJoe]

UFA in one year, only one year of cost control

 

[JoeSakic13]

 

[Gumballhead]

Baby Calvert?

 

[SuperJoe]

He's RFA

I know 1 year until UFA

 

[AllAboutAvs]

But we keep beng told faceoffs don't matter regardless of NHL coaches and players like Makar telling us differently.

Love this add but let's see the cost.

 

[CoachBadkitten]

Hope JT gets 6x6 somewhere
