Drury asleep at the wheel again

edit: thought this was the main board thread

 

[BoxOfChocolates]

Why?

 

[Avs44]

He's 6'5! Get in here size queens!

From everything I know about the guy, this is purely a toughness move. MacDermid will fight.

 

[The Pwnerer]

Why?

6'5" and 235lbs

 

[JWK]

Rare Sakic L

 

[The Kingslayer]

but f***in why?

 

[sethro109]

6'5 you say?

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

One of the strangest trades this organization has made in a while.

He’s not even a right shot. He’s worse than MacDonald as a 7D too, isn’t he?

 

[henchman21]

Trying to get tougher… don’t like this trade.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

I actually like it. He isn’t very good but he’s scary as shit. He’s like Zadorov as a hitter but can also fight. Plus his under 900k cap hit is great as an extra skater for nights he isn’t in the lineup.

He’s an absolute beauty of a person too. The guys will love him.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Seems like a dumb trade

 

[SuperJoe]

At least Sakic won't have that 4th to trade for shit at the deadline

 

[CoachBadkitten]

Y tho

 

[RoyIsALegend]

6'5!"

235 pounds!

 

[JWK]

This is the classic we underperformed in the playoffs so we need toughness move

 

[Ararana]

I would have given up a 4th to never have had to learn who this guy is...

 

[KingsHockey24]

He'll beat the snot out of Ryan Reaves and anyone on the Vegas team.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

This is a message trade, and hopefully a sign of things to come. He's not going to be a regular, but against teams like Vegas and St Louis he'll draw in.

Time to punch some smug faces, Big MacD

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

The trade we've been waiting for. Not.

 

[Avs44]

This is the classic we underperformed in the playoffs so we need toughness move

Exactly. We're seeing the Rangers overreact right now to "toughness." Hopefully Sakic limits himself to this.

While MacDermid is a crappy player, maybe it also indicates Sakic has figured out the D he was looking at are either gone or too expensive.

 

[MaKarter]

Draft small D and trade low draft picks for giant D.

Keep up with Sakic's plan guys.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

So… I guess he’s the NHL version of Middleton?

I suppose the Avs are 8 D deep now and that’s the positive. I don’t suspect this guy will be an everyday player though.

 

[Avs44]

This is why he was brought in:



He's got a 10 minute part 1 too!

 

[SuperJoe]

I like that we have someone that can drop the mits with the heavyweights, bring on the Golden Scums
