Good luck Cody. You aren't the greatest hockey player but I have a lot of respect for you. Made the most of what talent you have.

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

What do you know, McLeod was movable. Good luck to McLeod, he always tried at least.

 

[Bender]

They got the wrong Girard!!

 

[Avs44]

Well...sad to see Cody go, honestly. He wasn't very good at the end, but he was a warrior for this team. Hope Nashville makes the playoffs and goes on a run. I'll be rooting for him.

 

[Alex Jones]

McLeod for an AHL player, guess that shows you what Bednar thought of him...

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

The got the wrong Girard!!

I was so excited until I realized that it was the wrong Girard. All I saw was the last name

 

[henchman21]

Ummm... called it! Almost like....

 

[JoemAvs]

Good luck to Cody.

Always a class act. A bit sad to see him go but it was time.

Don't really care about the return because I did not expect anything more than a 7th with the extra year on his contract.

Anyone knows much about Felix Girard?

 

[JLo217]

It begins

 

[InjuredChoker]

already love PK, so it's easy too root for the preds rest of the way. division rival be damned.

good luck cody.

 

[RockLobster]

Pretty awesome McLeod moment...one of my favorites of his.

Appears to be an AHL depth player. If message sending is what the Avs wanted: message sent.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Wow, it's starting.

Cody's time had passed but I will remember him fondly. He gave it his all to the end.

So Girard seems to be someone who played for EV in the Q.

Hard working defensive center. Won't ever be a NHL player, but should be a good 3rd line center for the Rampage.

 

[Bubba Thudd]

Felix is only 22.
Are they thinking there's a chance he develops into an NHL player?
Otherwise, what was the point, other than freeing up cap space?
No picks, AHL prospect...

6th-7th round pick would've been better...

Getting an AHL player for an NHL player allows us to bring up one of our AHL players. I like it

What I said above

I mean would you give up a pick or a prospect for McLeod?

 

[JoemAvs]

Hard working defensive center. Won't ever be a NHL player, but should be a good 3rd line center for the Rampage.

Figured as much.

Everything else would have been gravy and it helps with the goal of building up a solid team in San Antonio I guess.


Cya Highlander.

Was he the last guy left that played with Sakic?

End of an era I guess.


@Bubba:

Cody had an extra year on his contract. Getting out of that is value enough tbh.

Cap and contract space.... more than that, following through with a vet's request.

 

[Stories]

Well, starting to clear house? Frees up a little money. But losing a guy who everyone likes for as far as we can all tell.

 

[S E P H]

Uhhhhgggg, I think I would have rather taken a 6th round pick instead.

 

[BoxOfChocolates]

Cap and contract space.... more than that, following through with a vet's request.

Im a little surprised McLeod actually would have asked for a trade. But I guess he saw the writing on the wall here.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

I bet he gets a big ovation tomorrow.

 

[JoemAvs]

Uhhhhgggg, I think I would have rather taken a 6th round pick instead.

What makes you think that anyone would have given up a 6th rounder for Cody?

Remember that Nieto just was waived.

I highly doubt that Wilson did not call around and get a 6th for him first....
