Confirmed with Link: [COL/ARI] Mikkel Boedker for Alex Tanguay, Conner Bleackley, and Kyle Wood

[twostroke27]

Great trade by the avs. Got rid of tangs and didn't really trade anything of note beyond that

 

[Shaggy88]

Gotta hope Boeds resigns, if so, I'm cool with it.

 

[JoeSakic13]

Well we didn't sell the farm, but it's a bit curious as to why we traded for a rental. If there's a follow-up contract that's already in the works for this, it makes sense. I'm still skeptical though.

 

[AvHooligan]

Honestly I like this. I'm just wondering why the yotes would want tanguay?

 

[Cousin Eddie]

nope, who?

oel

 

[InjuredChoker]

if we we're contenders, this would be pretty solid trade.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Here come the "OMG A RENTAL" posts.

He's not a rental until he walks July 1st. Use your heads.

Also, they never had any intentions on signing Bleaks. Tangs was absolute trash. And Wood was pretty overrated around here. But if the price for getting rid of Tangs was Wood, then it was well worth it.

Nothing wrong with this trade as long as they re-sign Boeds to a reasonable deal.

 

[DRL]

Avs management making a bold move. Must've been difficult to ship off tangs. Bleackley obviously didn't have fans in office, he wasn't going to be given a shot here. I think it's a great trade for the avs

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Honestly I like this. I'm just wondering why the yotes would want tanguay?

he'll be flipped

 

[MonsterMack]

Would have to re-sign him at a more reasonable contract then what he supposedly wants, but otherwise I like the trade. Tanguay is done. Bleakly is a bottom 6 player at best, and wood is a long term project.

 

[shadow1]

Really good trade by Sakic.

Bleackley obviously wasn't going to work out and Wood was far down the depth chart.

Also give Sakic credit for trading Tanguay. He is a player with sentiment surrounding him but he is probably on the brink of retirement.

 

[AvHooligan]

Tangs last goal in an Avs uniform was in the outdoor game :,(

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Avs just made a really good trade. Boedker will be playing with two players in Mack/Landy who are both far superior to any one player Boedker has ever played with. If they can lock him up at somewhere around 5m per year this trade is a huge step in the right direction.

 

[JWK]

I always liked Boedker

 

[Nalens Oga]

I think we have to get used to the fact that Sakic is never gonna get us steals or great value on trades, he's a new and unexperienced GM.

If Boedker walks in the summer then this is bad asset mgmt losing two prospects that could have gotten a good return going forward but if Boedker re-signs then it's excellent, it gives us two 2nd line wingers for next season alongside Rantanen which we badly need. Let's be honest, Landeskog is the only top six winger on this team right now.

 

[ASmileyFace]

I cannot for the life of me believe that Roy and Sakic traded their great buddy Tangs. Never would have thought it would happen.

 

[IceRat]

Tangs last goal was in the outdoor game

fixed

 

[Avsboy]

What in the ****!!!

 

[Over the Pants Landy]

I like it. If we resign him I love it.

 

[Avalanche]

Hate losing Wood, but otherwise a pretty decent deal.

They have pills for that.

Like the deal. Have to think they intend on signing Boedkker long-term

 

[Freudian]

Bleackley was at worst worth a 2nd since they could just not sign him and he would turn into a 2nd round pick. Woods probably is worth a 2nd.

So two 2nd round picks for 20 games of Boedker and getting rid of Tanguay.

This is a front office that are so desperate to make the playoffs they aren't thinking clearly.

 

[ASmileyFace]

Bob is saying Bleakley is the captain of Red Deer. I thought he lost the captaincy no?

 

[Foppa2118]

Who's on TV suicide watch?

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Sad seeing Tangs go again..but great deal for the avs.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Dater says Avs aren't done.

Let's slip Iggy a million under the table and ask him to waive to go to Tampa for Drouin!!
