Wow - I didn't know he had fallen this much.

Congrats on beating @MMC to the punch

Interesting trade

 

[The Duck Knight]

Another nice move for Colorado. Definitely a better fit for a grinding role than Jost.

 

[Mighty Makar]

We save $1M , I guess. Lol. What the f***!

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Meh. No risk trade by both teams, maybe the players will play better in a new environment. Jost is definitely busting however after being picked 10th overall.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Must be a cap move to setup another trade.

 

[Gentle Man]

MOAR CAP SPACE

 

[Mohar Ikram]

Okay... this is surprising. I bet this is just a pre-cursor for bigger move near the deadline.

Or, is this a move just to bin off the idea of putting MacDermid as a forward?

Always liked Jost, hoping he can put it together and become more of a scoring threat. At 24 there is still some runway to grow with the Wild.

 

[Baksfamous112]

Lmao

Josty is a great guy and a super hard worker. He just didn’t fit on a team that requires so much skating. Although I might have zero nice feelings towards the Wild (except for Kaprizov), I really hope Jost can live up to expectations in Minnesota.

 

[AslanRH]

Seems mostly lateral except Avs benefit with the added cap space.

Sad to see Jost go though. He was just a poor fit with the Avs style, but busted his ass to become a good defensive FWD
Even though it is the Wild, I hope he breaks out in a new environment

Good change of scenery here for Jost - he was never going to get a top 6 role in Colorado.

 

[Foppberg]

Considering how Minnesota has sort of become the land of misfit toys where guys suddenly become great... I'm half expecting that to happen.

 

[TeddyBare]

Not surprised
Thought he was going to be gone in the offseason after how much he got slaughtered against Vegas in the playoffs

Same with Girard

Wish Jost well…just as he was carving out something of a defensive role niche last season he turns into completely uselessness this season. He has no “juice” at the NHL level. Too bad because I loved him as a prospect and thought it was a home run pick at the time. He’s still youngish but those looking for some “untapped upside” are really going to have to squint hard. There’s nothing about his game that stands out at all.

No expectations for Sturm other than to plug a 4th line role. I like him actually but he’s nothing special.

 

[beowulf]

So size for a little younger. I would say more potential in Yost but so far he has not shown what I would have expected. Maybe a new team with new role will help.

Incoming Copp to COL for 2nd + Beaucage

He’s never going to get a top six role anywhere. He’s not good enough. He plays slow and weak. There’s little creativity in there. I thought he could eventually become a Pavelski-like guy who despite being slow was smart enough to find the soft spots and finish some plays but his offensive IQ and finishing is not good enough.

He’s got time to become a useful third liner and looked the part for some of last season, working hard and being solid defensively.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

im happy to see Avs give Jost a change a scenery

 

[Gecklund]

Incoming Copp to COL for 2nd + Beaucage

Why would WIN do that? Avs don’t have a 2nd until 2024.
