Yikes. And there's many other key players that could have been in that picture.... Sturm, Aube-Kubel, Newhook, Annunen, etc.

Wrong thread

We should all benefit so much from panic trades - a decent replacement for Mikko, a hard working Bednar-type bottom six guy who wins faceoffs and is an actual center. And 2 draft picks. And cap space.

I don’t know that we will “win” the trade but we definitely destroyed the expectations of what we’d get in return.

Yeah exactly. Usually trade deadline trades you only get back futures and that would have killed our season.

Management knew this was the best offer they were going to get imo.

lol @ Landy being half there. Well done.

 

[Jacked Daniel]

This wasnt a panic move, they didnt have the rush yet to trade him. Some folks have the style to spice up their tweets a bit and I get it. Im sure Avs GM and Rantanens agent had a phone call recently where they said the trade will happen if we dont agree on this, and Rantanens side wanted more. 11,25M is low balling for him but then you have to realise you risk yourself big time in this scenario.

This matinee game starts soon, like in a couple of hours.

No word from CMac on the trade yet, that's strange.

Possibly a sign that he's not done? Waiting to do a conference to announce all the trades.

When Wood gets activated any minute now, we will be at 15 forwards + 8 defensemen + 2 goalies for a 25 man active roster.

It would be weird to see a morning trade, but let's see what happens.

Come on @RoyIsALegend where is the GDT ?

He is loading up for a bigger trade?

Let him rest! He spent all day carrying around his huge sack and putting it on tables.

 

[Avs_19]

I didn't even realize it's another early game. Man, that's a quick turnaround after that organizational shock from 14 or so hours ago.

 

[Jasenr]

Done

Can't let it go past the 4 nations in case of injury as well.

0-2-1 so far this week.

This is going well.

And for some (not me), THIS week is already over °!°

 

[Metallo]

Why do we have all these stupid afternoon games were we suck because the Avs are half-awake and thrown-off their routine? f*** that shit.

[dahrougem2]

I'll bet Colton goes to 2LW, Wood to 3LW, and Parssinen to the 4th line.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

We have two of the top 20 D pairings in the NHL when it comes to lowest expected goals against.

Our goalies have been fantastic.

Offense, offense… where aaaaarrrreeeee you?

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Ristolainen WTF

Some of these are headscratchers for sure, but we always knew we had decent top-4.

For Ristolainen, I bet they are counting games he plays against peewee hockey teams during off days
