Money saving deal for Melnyk lol

 

[A Loyal Dog]

I wonder if the conversation went like this:

Melnyk: "Hey, uh, we wanted to know, uh, what would it take to get our 1st round pick back?"
Sakic: "Are you offering us Chabot + Stone + Tkachuk +?"
Melnyk: "No!!"
Sakic: "Okay well, we can offer you JC Beaudin for Max McCormick"
Melnyk: "Ok deal!"

Amazing how Ottawa didn't sever the communication lines to Denver after their last trade.

 

[Weast]

[Colorado Avalanche]

He found a way to escape Ottawa

Dorion: So you still have our first rounder huh

Sakic: Yyyuupp...

A little bit of scouting report for Sens fans, JCB is a high IQ and high compete player. I thought very highly of him watching him in Q and had high hopes for him. Sadly, our development system is junk so he didn't develop as we expected. I hope he bounces back in Ottawa and proves some of us right.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Would not be surprised if he turns into a decent player for the Sens. As has been stated, the Avs really don’t develop players

 

[Artanis]

Wow we didn't add a pick? Interesting.

He's short but a feisty one. I personally liked him as a 4th liner when he got his chances in the NHL, but he never stuck.

He has no offensive talents at that level, but man he was a little ball of hate. Hitting everything that moved, and goading guys into fights every game. Seemed like he had a fight per game when he would get called up.

His defensive positioning isnt bad, nor is his Iq. Skating is decent to good. I would have no problem with him being a 13th forward on a lot of teams.

Sounds good! We could use positive energ or hustle.

He's also constantly injured.

need more french players in the system for when Melnyk forces the move to QC

Basically, he's not an NHL player, but he's a useful organizational guy, one-way contract notwithstanding.

Sakic already made his quota on the annual minor TDL.

Don't know much about McCormick, but he seems to be more of the same 4th liners. Beaudin never developed and preferred they kept him.

If Ottawa didnt sever the communication lines with San Jose, its no surprise they havent with Colorado.

He's your typical 4th liner. Crash and bangs, kills penalties. He get's injured a lot though.

 

[Foppberg]

I could see JCB turning into something with Ottawa.

Sens might have won this trade.

Not sure why the AVs even made this deal. They have enough "plugs" in the system.

Maybe they want some more toughness in the AHL, not sure.

"Maybe if I can break the ice with a small meaningless deal now, I can work up to get the 1st rounder out of him later."
