Confirmed with Link: Avs acquire S. Girard, S. Bowers, V. Kamenev, A. Hammond, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for M. Duchene

If this is true, absolute highway robbery.

 

[Balthazar]

I'm friggin' happy we got Girard

 

[Grackle Party]

Anyone know about Shane Bowers potential?

 

[The Pwnerer]

If this trades holds true, this is a type of trade that can solify our depth for years to come. Crazy haul

 

[PAZ]

Bowers was a 2017 1st round too for those who don't know.

 

[StayAtHomeAv]

Holy ****.

That's a whole lot of stuff right there. Wish it was White instead of Ottawa's package, but I'm liking the first, Girard and Kamenev.

 

[Freudian]

It's a lot of bullets. Girard is a legit prospect and Bowers/Kamenev decent to good shots. Hammond doesn't make much sense, but I guess it's depth.

 

[JWK]

There’s no way that deal is true, no way Sakic did that well

 

[atreyuavenged]

Sucks that Duchene won't be around anymore but that is a huge return, if true.

 

[Avs71]

Sens probably took the short end of the stick if all they back is Duchene.

[Bill Peckerskull]

@FriedgeHNIC: Duchene to OTT. Turris to NASH with a 6x6 extension. COL gets Girard, Kamenev, Bowers, Hammond, a 1st (OTT), a 2nd (NASH) and a 3rd (OTT).

Anyone know about Shane Bowers potential?

#3 C, solid 2-way

 

[henchman21]

That's a crazy haul. Bowers is gooooood. Not to mention Girard who is the best piece we get. Draft picks are awesome too. I'm very happy.

Agreed. As hard as I have been on Sakic, this seems solid all things considered. Want to know the years of the picks.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Friedman confirming that massive haul

 

[ottawa]

Wow, good haul. Congrats Avs fans

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

That's a pretty darn solid haul if it's true. Some high potential prospects coming from NSH that's for sure.

 

[Avs425]

Can someone help break this down for me?

Girard we know we like- What's his potential?
Kamenev i know nothing about
Bowers i know little about
Hammond Why do we want him?
the picks are awesome!

 

[Avs44]

Doesn't address any real needs now, but this really sets the team up long term if they want to keep the picks. Note to self: HFboarders don't have a clue about value.

 

[Balthazar]

Now I understand why no single team could afford Duchene

 

[The Kingslayer]

Thats a great deal. Sakic did well all things considered. Bowers is good from everything I seen and heard.

 

[SI90]

You guys made a bad situation into a really good one. Major haul for you guys.

 

[Hans Landaskog]

Sure we get a bunch back, but Duchene is and will be the best player in that deal regardless.

 

[21]

Sakic finally delivering, first getting Nemeth out of Texas and now this mega trade, impressive.

 

[AslanRH]

I like the trade.

Bowers IMO could be a Compher like addition that will be overlooked in there.

If the Avs can do something with those picks (IMO move up this year from 2nd to a first or nab a younger disgruntled guy like Athanasiou) I'll be very happy with this
