My brother is crying, he wanted to buy a Downie jersey as well.
I kind of feel sorry for him.
Downie, McGinn, and MacK would have been pretty exposed defensively. Maybe Talbot was brought in to help that out.
Downie is going to get paid this summer as a UFA. I've said it all along.

Is Talobt primarily a center? Has he seen a fair amount of time on the wing?
If not this seemingly affects Brad Malone in the future as well. Someone Roy wanted to give a chance to. Weird move.
The only way it makes sense is because Talbot's signed for cheap a couple more years, and is a good leader in a similar role. Don't get why they didn't package Downie with something for a D.
Philly should be the one that's desperate to make a move, why does it feel like the Avs were?
Also not sure who you need to clear space for said blockbuster. We can add literally 14 million in cap space and be fine.
Considering the raises to McGinn, Varly, ROR + Staz new contract including the new deals to Guenin, Benoit and Barrie on D I say this gave us a chance to add a player like Cambell to our roster without it hampering our chances of signing these players to long term deals.
I am still confused why we traded him so early in the freakin season. Seriously, Talbot would have been available at the trade deadline.
