Confirmed with Link: Jack Johnson to Avalanche for Andreas Englund

[BHFAN92]

I really don't get this trade. If anything its an upgrade over Johnson which is the complete opposite of what we need to be doing trying to tank. Kyle Davidson so far is not up to the task of a rebuild imo

 

[Sinbad]

Colorado realizes it’s too late for them to tank, right?

 

[Game suspension]

Englund wasn't with the Avs when they won the cup last year and obviously wasn't fitting in. This is a locker room trade. Say what you want about JJ but he comes across like a great guy. Especially considering what his parents did to him. I wish him luck and my $ are on the Avs to win it again.

Scratching head.

Why not just give Englund away, keep the contract slot open to gamble on unsigned players, and let some of the prospects get a few NHL minutes? KD has put a soup sandwich on the ice, no value to having a depth player there.

Take care of the player and move him out for free, and take our favorite deadline player, Future Considerations.

Maybe KD wants some toughness on the ice for when he does bring up some kids.

 

[scorehawks]

Lot of hate on for JJ but I thought he played well enough given cost. Far more value than Caleb Jones, Murphy and dare I say Seth (until recently).

 

[Pertti]

JJ's been better than Mitchell and C. Jones.

This is a good point I had overlooked. Gracias.

I hope that's what it is.

I have no idea either though

 

[giza]

I would resign Tinordi for blue line toughness.

 

[giza]

,,,,,but Tinordi is pretty slow too.....I watched a couple of fights....the Swedish kid is game....held his own against Austin Watson recently.....no offense, but decent wheels and some size.....former 2nd round pick.....would him and Zaitsev make a good 3rd pairing next year?

X-Jones
X-Murphy
Englund - Zaitsev

Is this what we are looking at right now? I dont think Caleb gets brought back. One of the spots is going for Phillips im sure, the other could be for Korchinski/anyone else showing signs.

Seeing how much protection and marination KD prefers though, i think we'll be signing some LD over the summer who can eat Top 4 type minutes.

Englund is going to be UFA and I see no reason for Hawks to bring him back they will have better D options as FA or as cap dumps if they desire on LD

I would wait to see what he brings to the table. I see no reason and pretty much no chance of over-paying, but the problem with the Hawks is that they aren't mobile enough and this kid has some moxy and skates well.....hopefully,....let's see what he's got.

 

[kmwtrucks]

anybody watch the game. sounds like Andres looked ok. considering.

 

[giza]

I believe he had 3-4 shots.....he was good for 3.5 hits a game when on Colorado....both are refreshing from our Dmen.....me like.

He was better than JJ. Which isn't saying much, but still quite strange from Colorado's standpoint.

He was pretty meh. Kinda ok at everything. Marginally physical.

Do you want someone the coach will trust in the playoffs in the depth or someone the coach will play less than 10 minutes

We won a cup because Rozi got hurt and Q didn't trust anybody but our top four to sniff the ice.
