Confirmed Trade: [COL/PHI] Sean Walker and 2026 5th round pick for 2025 1st round pick (top 10 protected) and Ryan Johansen

[LemonSauceD]

wtf a 1st?

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Is MMC even a real person?

 

[dgibb10]

Walker has been fantastic this year

 

[TheBeard]

A late first in a weak draft isn’t that much to give up.

 

[Avs44]

They're clear an advanced AI HF has been testing for years. They just scrape the internet and auto post.

 

[Soundgarden]

Ouch, that's a big price to pay if true. Good for Philly.

 

[lionsDen]

Lol

 

[AvStock]

Makar, Toews, Byram, Girard- do they really need another puck-moving D? Is Girard on the move?

I hope so. Better not be a Byram

 

[NYRKing]

Absolutelyshocked Philly would trade him….but a first rounder. Ya, all day. Makes sense.

 

[SnS]

There has to be more than this involved or am I crazy?

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Briere put on a master class with that Provorov trade. Moved him, ate some salaries, and got a ton in return.

 

[Winston Wolf]

As long as RyJo is dumped as part of this...

I doubt it.

Only because Tortorella has inputs on trades and I sincerely doubt he would ever let Johansen anywhere near his locker room.

 

[PajamaBoy]

Monkey see monkey do league lololol

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Great pick up for Colorado.

He is not worth a 1st.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Avalanche are weird. Won't trade a 1st for Tanev or Lindholm, but will move it for Sean Walker. Amazing

 

[Avs44]

That's true. However -- and hear me out -- what if we also trade the Flyers a baseball bat so that Torts can greet him with it at the entrance to the stadium before informing him he's being waived?

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

Somebody update the debacle of moves Rob Blake made to get PLD, and include that Philly flipped Walker for a 1st now.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Right-handed defenseman who's had a good year and is relatively young? First round pick is a fair price. Good move for both teams.

 

[InfinityIggy]

I don't hate it for Colorado as much as some, Walker has been great this year.

 

[Winston Wolf]

Done deal!

Makar and Toews are much more than just puck moving D, both guys are legit #1 D men.

 

[dgibb10]

Avalanche are weird. Won't trade a 1st for Tanev or Lindholm, but will move it for Sean Walker. Amazing

Walker has been better than both of those guys this year

 

[Twisted Sinister]

Man, if I were Calgary fans, I'd be piiiiiiiiiiiiiissed.

 

[BobRossColton]

Definitely hoping there's a bit more involved.

 

[Turin]

… uh damn. Teach your kids to shoot right
