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

[Azrael89]

Funny seeing Habs fans coming out of the woodwork trying to defend Newhook saying he has much more potential than Colton who is a bottom 6er. Like that's exactly what we needed

It's major Cope

High 3s to low 4s is my guess... somewhere around 3-5 years. He has not been used in a PK role in Tampa... he did coming up into the NHL, but hasn't been his role in the NHL. Hard to say there. He has the tools for it though.

I figured he was a PKer but with the gluttony of those types of forwards Tampa has no wonder he didn't at the NHL level.

He will have to learn here.

They have a few aces in PEB, Killorn and Cirelli that they leaned on heavily. Then some rotation of guys there. Just was never a role Colton could have done much there. It is an unknown, but I think he'll be fine if he has to.

Cmac is straight up bullying GM’s out there.

 

[JH21]

Didnt Colton play LW for the Bolts?

 

[MaKarter]

I take back all the bad things I said about CMac.

Dude decided to skip last years TDL since he knew Nuke was going down a questionable path and Landy was done for the season, so he could save all the fleecing for the off-season.

And also at the deadline the price was a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and a prospect rounders for 1 Tanner Jeannot

You know what pisses me off?

I like Colton a lot. I like this trade.

But you just know Tampa is drafting another Brayden Point with that 37th pick.

And with that same selection the Avs would get another Martin Kaut.

It's okay our amateur scouting is garbage, massive steal for us

Love it

yeah but they had like 6 centers, iirc. he's a natural center.

 

[The Kingslayer]

lol Colton for the 37th pick? CMac on demon time

I've seen a fair amount of playoff games with them the past few years but it seems like they have so many guys playing similar roles that I can't separate the bottom six guys unless they are huge and look like Mr. Bean. I am watching video and yes I remember this guy, he's a burr in the saddle. He actually might be a little bit of a Calvert, huh?

Mix of center and wing in 20-21, Center in 21-22 until Paul came in and then spot duty, mostly wing last season except when Cirelli was out and in spot duty.

 

[Tralfamadore]

Good trade and will be a good replacement for JT. They still break even since JT is definitely not coming back. I'd still like to see another add in the bottom 6.

 

[The Moops]

CMac going full goblin mode? More likely than you'd think

 

[Alex Jones]

Goodbye JTC. Don't think he's as bad as a lot of people here claim, but do think Colton is an upgrade.

Sakic is pulling all the strings!

Has anyone worn #79 in Avs history? Not that I want him to wear #79, cause that's a weird f***ing number choice. I'd much rather he wear something like #85 or #68

 

[NMAvsman]

This is simply fantastic. Love it, now go get us a value winger for the third line and viola....perfection.

 

[S E P H]

Colton is the type of player I have no problems giving that Brandon Tanev Penguins deal to. That stupid 3.5 x 6 deal, but I really value him as a player. He isn't Cirelli good, but still a stud and one of the best 3rd liners in the entire league I reckon.

Although #79 is no match for 69 I think its a cool number. I remember liking it when Yashin wore it with the Islanders.

 

[Bender]

It's funny when you're checking Cap Friendly for different teams and different players that you think 'could' be available and then you see a guy like Ross Colton and you think "well, he'd surely be nice but there's probably no way they are trading him and IF THEY ARE, there is no way in hell they are trading him to US"...

That was me last week. LOL

 

[Qurpiz]

I'll take Ross Colton over trusting that 37th overall to Avs amateur scouting
