What the hell? That's terrible.

 

[Avs For Life]

WTF... What just happened...

Someone please tell me that is a joke...

 

[Foppa Frossa]

Confused by this, I thought we were all good on centermen?

 

[Congo Jack]

Wait what!?!? No way that can be true

 

[henchman21]

Now being reported elsewhere... I would take it as a sign that Downie's asking price was too high and the Avs were getting something for him. Talbot is signed through 15-16.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Is this a joke...

 

[Freudian]

Sounds like an odd trade, unless the team doesn't believe they can't re-sign Downie.

 

[Unaffiliated]

WTf is happening

 

[tigervixxxen]

I can't believe it, what is happening to this team?

 

[Congo Jack]

Dudes gotta be trolling us. I thought Roy liked Downie? Why would he trade him eleven games in? WTF!

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Ridiculous downgrade. A 4th liner with 2 points this season and signed for 2 more years past this.

I'd take 6 months of Downie over 2.5 years of Talbot for ****s sake.

 

[Zolik37]

awful deal, if true.

 

[hawk30]

Keefe isn't really an insider, is he? Why would he have the scoop on this?

Dater has it too.

 

[jeffl97]

wow, crazy

 

[S E P H]

This can't be real, if it is maybe Downie was the bad influence?

 

[Avs For Life]

I would have thought we could get more for Downie than Talbot...

This seems just terrible

 

[Cousin Eddie]

I hate this. Another left hander. Another centre. Plus Downie is better. There must be more to this.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Why are Kyle Keefe and Adrian Dater breaking trades?

 

[5280]

Now being reported by Dater.

Edit: beat to it.

WTF?

 

[Mr Serious]

Dater just posted this too on his Twitter account.

I'm five minutes away from boarding flight to Dallas, but Avs just traded Steve Downie to Max Talbot.

I hate this. Another left hander. Another centre. Plus Downie is better. There must be more to this.

Have to agree. Has to be more to it ... picks/prospects ... something. Downie is better and a great fit on this team. Why give him up for Talbot? Not liking this move at all...

 

[Zolik37]

What a day. First Varly and now this.

 

[henchman21]

I wonder if there is a pick involved or if this is straight up?

Tin foil hat on: Roy is clearing salary to re-sign Stastny.
