It's a shame that Bowers got injured like as soon as he got into a NHL game. And that Frankie is like almost always injured.

Decent insurance move for the Avs, especially given the Goalie injury probs they’ve had in past playoffs

 

[DaBossN]

I've always like Bowers

 

[JoeSakic13]

This guy deserved a call up last season amidst all the injuries. Then finally got a shot and was injured himself.

Wouldn’t be shocked at all if Boston wins this trade.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Always thought Bowers would end up a serviceable player.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Colorado has 6 goalies under contract in the organization with the acquisition of Kinkaid, they are covered.

 

[KlausJopling]

Bruins needed to trade an AHL goalie. So no surprise

 

[Zubrus Coffee Maker]

It’s nice to see Kinkaid getting valued in the NHL. Loved the guy when he was on New Jersey, i’m always cheering for him

 

[AslanRH]

I hope Bowers does well. Guy needs a chance.
Good tweener insurance for the Avs, but think Annunen will get more time up in Denver

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Colorado keeping the veteran goaltending depth all to themselves.

 

[Vitto79]

Colorado just needs Igor and they have the rangers Goalies from a few years ago

 

[JoemAvs]

Don't understand the Avs infatuation on spending assets every damn year on 3rd string at best goalies (aka you won't win a damn thing if you have to rely on them if push comes to shove anyways so why get them?) during the season at all.

Oh well.
Sucks that Bowers did not amount to more and apparantely does not have any value anylonger.

I hope thats all they do at the deadline personally.
One dumb move is enough for this year and I doubt that there are any good moves out there considering that the Avs really have nothing to trade aside from a 1st they should probably hold on to given the lack of good targets this year.

Nothing about the move should make anyone feel more confident in their goaltending issues

Former 1st rd pick 28 th overall in 2017 is not a bad haul for the Bruins

They spent assets on Georgie and Kuemper and Gruebauer too. Aves like buying goalers.

 

[Freaky Styley]

Would have preferred the Avs target a guy like Korpisalo, but not surprised they went after a G. Hopefully this is more of an insurance move than a Francouz replacement if he's going to be out long term.

He was on waivers this season.

What a steal..

 

[danpantz]

He was on waivers this season.

Surprised the Bruins got anything at all for Kinkaid. He requested a trade and was fighting for starts in a 3 goalie rotation in the AHL.

This is an AHL move, so Haul may be a bit heavy for a descriptor

 

[Drury_Sakic]

Avs needed some goalie depth, both for AHL and NHL. Good move for everyone involved.

That’s because you’re not paying attention to the bigger picture. He is an nhl calibre goalie. Can easily be a back up goalie in the nhl. Bruins just happen to be stacked on goaltending. They traded an nhl back up for a career ahl player basically. Although bower could easily be more than an ahl player. We saw kik aid this season play in the nhl. He played great, made a lot of difficult saves.

What a steal..

we don’t get a lot of first round picks over on the bruins side

 

[John Mandalorian]

Annunen played really well last time. This might be a signal that Francouz is out longer term and Annunen is the back up now. But they might also want to rotate guys so Annunen sees action in the AHL and doesn’t become rusty.

You had 3 in one season
