Hockey Buzz Eklund ‏@Eklund 10s
Briere traded…more


Eklund is breaking something?

Shedding Brieres salary instead of Gorges?

Well, the Avs are having a PC for Bleackley right now, so...

Danny Briere to Colorado

wtf. PAP is better going the other way

 

[madman]

why did we trade for Briere?

 

[Balthazar]

why did we trade for Briere?

Because we needed a small, over the hill player

 

[Freudian]

Briere don't have much left in the tank, but it's just one year so it's not the end of the world.

 

[hockeyfish]

We get Gorges too?

MTL acquires P.A Parenteau from COL. I believe Daniel Briere is headed to COL in return.

 

[Dutchy9]

French? check
playoff performer? check

yup briere is a perfect fit for Roy.

Pretty bad trade, but I guess it sheds $4M in salary the year after this.

 

[hockeyfish]

looks like that's it. Well then...

 

[CB Joe]

I'm indifferent. It's a salary that comes off the books one year sooner.

 

[Balthazar]

PAP > Briere but it was clear that Roy wanted to get rid of him so there's that.

 

[Foppa2118]

I don't know. All I do know if I can't really think of the last time a pure goalie prospect was traded alone.

Doesn't happen too often. Usually they're included in bigger trades.

Still, the Jets traded Edward Pasquale and a 6th (159) to the Caps this year for their 6th (144) their 7th (192) and a 6th in 2015.

Seems like the Avs could have made a deal like that, if they don't have Pickard in their plans.

 

[Balthazar]

For those of you who thought PAP had any kind of value whatsoever, he just got traded along with a 5th pick for a 36 year old player who wasn't going to crack the MTL lineup.

So yeah, he didn't have ANY value.

Roy confuses me sometimes. Brings up the fact many times that the Avs need to get bigger up front and on the blueline.

But then he places a high priority on drafting size to bring in guys that at best will help the team 3-4 years down the road. Then trades for Danny Briere, and has plans to re-sign Benoit.

I don't think this is finished yet. Avs might buy him out.

Its amazing how far off we all think the value for these guys actually is.
But I like it. Both players were under utilized by their coaches.

Dater doesn't think so...

Adrian Dater ‏@adater · 4m
The Avs will not be buying out Briere. He is an Av for 2014-15

 

[agentblack]

I could have sworn I heard they tried getting him last year

I have to imagine it is only due to the cap situation around the league. PAP is a good player, I expect Montreal fans to call it a steal in relatively short order when he and Galchenyuk are lighting it up together.

Would have been nice if we at least swapped Gorges for PAP given rumors of Gorges' value. Losing a 5th may not be significant, but I hate just giving picks away for no reason.

Soooo... what other French-Canadian players with past clutch performances/playoff experience are there in the league? We need to put them on notice they may be acquired in the next year.

I seem to remember some rumored interest as well.

I agree, its why guys like Gagner got dealt for a pick when most on these boards had him getting traded for a Yandle or Martinez or a 1st
I hate trade proposals with a passion now.

 

[hockeyfish]

We still have almost 21 million to spend on essentially 5 players. Should be interesting tomorrow.

 

[agentblack]

I bet as soon as its noon tomorrow you'll have at least 3 big signings
6 by the end of the day 1
