I hope so. Better not be a Byram

Well then

Maybe his comments after the Nashville-Game (5-1 loss) was the last straw....

The AVS-locker has a certain culture: Winning a cup.

There is no room for players who just wants to collect their paychecks and call it a day....

As an Avs fan and Philly native, I feel pretty comfortable saying that most Avs fans are far more chill than you're experiencing. It's only been recently that I've found Flyers fans more welcoming of anyone that wasn't their own. There's a stigma that hasn't worn off there yet that I wouldn't be surprised if other fans still defensively recoiled over.

Very interested to see what Briere does with his plethora of draft assets. We might finally see Philly construct a team that can last for a little while under Danny versus the constant retooling of old.

Doesn't seem that different to what Hextall did to me. He accumulated a lot of picks and took on some cap dumps while also trying to make the playoffs.

What did he say?

 

[Curufinwe]

flyers coaching staff is far inferior to the Avs until proven otherwise

Brad Shaw who runs the D and the league's best PK is good.

Wow, Philly robbed.

Johanson back should've cost a 1st alone. How the hell did we add a 5th?

Philly's actual cost of buying him out this summer is 2,66 mill, iirc. That's not even close to 1st round value on cap-dumps (~6 mill). More like a late 2nd in a later year, probably.

Good trade by both teams, imo.
Briere got a shit-ton of value out of that Provorov three-way last summer, by being willing (and able) to eat bad contracts.

But technically, they took on 5M, because you’re omitting the 1M they owe him this season still.
His cap dump value was probably somewhere in the top half of the 2nd round. Prob a 32-45 pick.

Buyout cap hit for Johansen is only $1.33m.

 

[Avs9296]

Buyout cap hit for Johansen is only $1.33m.

Ya for 2 years.

 

[VikingAv]

Buyout cap hit for Johansen is only $1.33m.

Yeah, but in these deals (and third-party retention at the deadline) it's the real dollars teams have in mind. If the buyout real dollars are 2,66 mill, then it'll be about 3,6 mill in actual cost, including the rest of this season, as @EdAVSfan pointed out above.

 

[Gruyeriev]

I'm very curious to see how Walker performs in Colorado. Is he Manson 2.0 or a bust?

I’d say he fits Colorado’s style and identity probably better than Manson (but Josh turned out to adapt pretty well too).

Yeah he is. Still though.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Avs forward core is looking pretty decent now after moving some dead weight.

 

[Hasbro]

Is Cmac just Sakic in disguise since GMs stopped answering his calls?

I really don’t think much has changed in the Avs front office other than the job titles.

Why would the Flyers, a team with a virtually unlimited bank account, care about the real dollars when buying out Johansen?

 

[a mangy Meowth]

I guess a cup changes you.

Not that you would know

 

[GKJ]

First time in 10 years the Flyers and Avalanche traded with each other

Second time in 20.

Only 5th since moving to Colorado.

Last trade as the Nordiques was the Lindros trade

 

[Curufinwe]

Why would the Flyers, a team with a virtually unlimited bank account, care about the real dollars when buying out Johansen?

Especially when they're moving out Walker's $3,350,000 salary for the rest of this season.

 

[Buttonwood]

Would’ve been wild to propose a Byram + 1st for Mittelstadt + Walker a year ago but lots has changed. Good for COL to move on. Makes sense for everyone

 

[Wats]

Great asset management by Flyers for Provorov

 

[Lt Dan]

Rando question , (the spirit of it is my Kings fan friend is livid thinking the Flyers got a 1st for Walker)
What percentage of the return does everyone think is for Walker vs taking Johansen?

TYIA

mid 2nd + mid-late2nd
IMO

Again. Proving my point. Thanks brah.

Unusual situation developing with Johansen after being assigned to the AHL by Philadelphia.

- If Johansen is actually injured then the Flyers can’t assign him to the AHL.

- If Johansen is actually injured and Flyers were not made aware during the trade by Colorado they have the option of requesting the NHL void the trade. No guarantee the NHL would grant such a request and I’m skeptical the Flyers would even consider doing so. Theyre probably happy with the 1st included in the deal.
