Confirmed Trade: [FLA/COL] Derrick Brassard and a conditional 2020 6th round pick for 2020 3rd round pick

[cgf]

Sakic is a silent killer. He's been great for us. Takes his time and finds the Absolute best deal.

That's one way to spin his trigger-shyness.

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

ultimately brassard is bleh, but c depth was a weakness and this does improve it

 

[Avs44]

It's easier than hiring our own scouts

Columbus isn't going to even have any draft picks for the next two years at this point. Maybe we can just loan their scouting staff to do our amateur scouting and picks too. Keep them employed.

The Bjugstad deal reshaping...

Bjugstad and McCann for 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 4th, and Sheahan.

And that cap space

 

[cgf]

Low cost, low risk, low reward

aka the Sakic special

 

[Foppberg]

That's one way to spin his trigger-shyness.

I don't have a problem with it. However, the time for being patient is coming to an end. Sakic needs to be aggressive starting this summer.

 

[ziggyjoe212]

Man, his value fell drastically over 365 days.

2018: 1st round pick, elite G prospect, Reaves and Ian Cole.
2019: 3rd round pick.

Bleh

We traded overpaid 3rd liners for a bunch of picks and cap space. Dale deserves what he gets for the expansion draft but this is good. People have not watched Brassard this year. Who on earth would give a 2nd? Teams have scouts.

 

[Rantanen The Goat]

If Greer becomes even a 4th line NHL player, he'll become the most successful non 1st round selection since ROR/Barrie, ten years ago.



No we get a pick too, Florida just get the 3rd.

Timmins will be an NHL defensemen. No doubt about that barring an explosion of his brain

 

[Freudian]

I got a good feeling about that 6th rounder.

 

[elmaco]

How not even a 2nd?

 

[Foppberg]

Well he hasn't played any hockey for closing in on a full year now, so. I'm still hopeful about him but I won't pretend to be stunned if he never amounts to anything.

Let's be real, they won't be sending us their scouts, we'll be sending them our picks for the next player they want to get rid of this summer. I'm so excited to watch Wennberg & Kerfoot try to recreate the spiderman v spiderman pic!

 

[Rantanen The Goat]

That's one way to spin his trigger-shyness.

Lol he was patient on Duchene and that is the reason we can be patient this year. We aren't winning the cup, why spend assets to make a run and possibly tie up cap space if we get players with term, Sakic has a plan and it's worked brilliantly. No teams that finish with 48 points total, make the playoffs the following year and continue to compete for a playoff spot even while in midst of a rebuild. We hold a guaranteed top 5 pick, our own first, an elite prospect in Makar who will be ready next year and a whole lot of cap room to sign some people up this summer. He's been great.

I don't have a problem with it. However, the time for being patient is coming to an end. Sakic needs to be aggressive starting this summer.

I don't have a problem with it if was just a temporary strategy, and not a reflection of Sakic's general approach to problem-solving...which we'll start finding out this summer.

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

brassard trade broke HF

 

[Sticksandsun]

Nick Bjugstad is a 35 point player making 4.5 million and Florida unloaded that deal without retention. Tallon got out of his mistake. This is just gravy.

Do we really? I'm not so certain.

 

[PensPlz]

Here Av's fans.... you're gonna need this :

 

[Super Hans]

I hope the Avs and the Panthers pick back-to-back in the 6th round in 2020.

 

[returnofthemack29]

Here Av's fans.... you're gonna need this :

Hat trick incoming!

 

[missionAvs]

This is such an Avs trade deadline acquisition lol.

 

[PatrikBerglund]

That Zibanejad trade looks worse than ever right now.

And it was Erat/Forsberg bad even when it happened.

Bleh

[geisterpanthers]

bjugstad had negative value.
