Confirmed with Link: Avs trade Jermey Hanzel + '25 3rd for Yakov Trenin + D Graham Sward

[superdeluxe]

Do we know anything about Sward? As far as I can tell this is a 3rd for Trenin and then a Hanzel / Sward swap?

Decent / good player from watching him in juniors, he didn’t really stand out, but to be fair he he was the opponent so I didn’t really key in on him. (My eyes were locked on Savoie, Benson and Geekie lol)

 

[Joe Sakic]

I mean...which forwards do we healthy scratch

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

We scratch the bottom 4 D

 

[Chiarelli]

Lads, do you think these moves are to deal with Vegas and Dallas?

specifically Vegas ya

 

[Freaky Styley]

that CNap nickname is looking more ridiculous every day. More like CDawwwwwggg

"I'll give you good trades. I'll even give you trades no one f***ing cares about."

The bottom-6 is going to be a nightmare to play against.

After the ‘21 Golden Showers series & rd 1 v the Krakheads last year, all I can say is,

To Chris MacFarland:

The main board's thread for this trade is everybody saying the Avs got a steal here and the Avs are absolutely killing it this TDL so far.

 

[UncleRisto]

Wait till he trades LOC + + for Dowd + Lindgren, or Ingram + Bjukstad, or

That man is on his Xbox with all these trades.

I mean, we are though. Like, unquestionably the clear winners thus far. If we get a goalie, I'm gonna have to consult a doctor because people aren't supposed to have an erection last that long

 

[The Abusement Park]

I know Cogs is slowing down a touch. Curious if they want him as the 13F. Which granted if that’s the case you can’t really ask for a better 13F that Cogs.

Well, I can speak from personal experience. I managed to survive the Landeskog-lifting-the-Cup multi-hour erection. You'll make it through this.

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

This was a cheap price too, tbh. McFarland overpaid slightly on Duhaime, but I think they got Trenin for a great price.

Really pumped about this one.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Man CMac is going crazy and I am absolutely here for it.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Or a replacement for cogs when he retires.

 

[Gumballhead]

CMac was reading the board all year long.

CMac: "I'll f***ing show you something."

And he slapped his massive cocaine encrusted sack on the table and howled at the sun.

Sward is a big defensive defensemen. Doesn't always play as physical as you'd want given his size... but really smart. Great stick, good pressure instincts, good gaps. Great first pass. His offense has been touch and go in juniors... I don't think it will translate. Good shot and good first pass is really all he can bring there. He plays a very pro friendly game. Skating has to clean up and if he maintains his poise along with that, there's a future bottom pairing PK guy here. Him and Hanzel have similar upside... Sward has a much clearer path IMO.

Yeah as much as I hate losing Hanzel this a lateral move that help bring size which was missing on the left side with Toews, G, Behrens and Hanzel.

 

[Freaky Styley]

I'd love to find a way to re-sign Trenin but probably not in the cards

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Trenin skating 100 mph running guys over and scrapping Chara.

Part 1:



Part 2:

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

This probably means we're out on Guentzel though. We're at a 23 man roster now and none of the guys on the roster are waiver exempt, and we didn't place anyone on waivers today.


Unless LOC is potentially part of the Guentzel return or Wagner is IR bound?

I feel like we can waive Kiviranta without too much stress

Offense is touch and go?

He has 15-58-73 in 58 GP

NO

MacFarland + Sakic is the textbook case of they-can't-keep-getting-away-with-this. f*** we are f***ing stacked again it really isn't fair to the rest of the league but whatever
