Damn. He’s going to be a good fit in Colorado.

 

[David Suzuki]

Imagine this trade in 2015

 

[Bond]

That’s pretty wild. Preds burning it down. Like it for Colorado.

 

[Conbon]

For Galchenyuk??? Make this make sense

 

[RealGudbranson]

Trotz taken to the cleaners.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Out of left field! Wow.

Trotz wanted RJ out bad. Why?

 

[BLNY]

Preds retain 50% of remaining 2 years.

 

[OVO16]

Clearing Cap-Space? For what though. Debrincat?

Great trade for Colorado

 

[Mobiandi]

Galchenyuk is still in the league??

 

[Turin]

What happened to this dude? He had a good season two years ago. Is he chronically injured? Why is he worth nothing at 50% now?

[Colezuki]

Preds retain 50% of remaining 2 years.

Did johansen really fall that far?

 

[DatsDeking]

Open those trade floodgates!

 

[BLNY]

Beat me! lol

Preds doing some cost cutting.

 

[Satan]

Wowwwwww

 

[82Ninety42011]

Avs got a steal here with that retention wow.

Mods, this is the second thread by a minute or so. Please delete.

 

[izzy]

always found he turns it up in the playoffs (typically)

could be very good

 

[ToDavid]

I know Johansen has had some ups and downs but what the f***. 50% retention for nothing? I would have given up an actual asset for Johansen at $4m.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Nice

 

[MardyBum]

Wow, basically a salary dump. But Avs get a serviceable 2C for 2 years

 

[Vitto79]

I appreciate the Preds blowing it up

Wheeler likely the same deal incoming . So free

 

[Nico Hischier]

If I remember correctly, ryjo was nashvilles 1C when they went to the finals and he got injured which was a huge reason they came up short

 

[JKG33]

That's a huge get for the Avs. I feel like he's gunna have a resurgence there.

I'm shocked the Preds couldn't get anything of positive value. I'll have to see what a buyout would've looked like
