God I hope this doesn't end up being another Regehr situation. That REALLY sucked.

It probably will be

If there was 1 prospect that was overated here it was Drew.

We’ll see. He doesn’t have the pure upside of Barron, but his skill set is very very translatable to the NHL. I think it’s worth it to move him for Manson based on where we are in our window, but he’s still a nice prospect.

Screw Helleson. He's the enemy now. Sorry gang, I have a short memory.

Turns out he didn't want to sign with the Avs. So good on Sakic to get some value for him.

Yeah same. I saw him as being Brandon Carlo lite, but we can't really afford to wait for that. Gotta go for it now and Manson is a great add.

Are we sure about this or is it just scuttlebutt?

Friedman reported in last night's 32 thoughts article Helleson was apprehensive to sign with the Avs because their defense depth was too deep.

Translation: He knew he'd struggle to make the team.

Scuttlebutt. "Friedman said..." is meaningless. A video interview with Helleson will be admitted as proof.
