It’s 4. Nashville retained half so it shows up as 8 on CapFriendly.

Makes it mildly more palatable, but even still. Walker was being talked about a first or near it on his own. 4M in dead cap should have some value, surely..

 

[JojoTheWhale]

This would be a very good sign. He’s broiled.

 

[Henry Miller]

Another 1st. Late 1st is a crapshoot so I like the ammo we are storing

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

As is tradition,

"hmm, this actually sounds decent"

*five minutes go by*

"Welp."

 

[bennysflyers16]

Sounds like he hasn't been that good for Avs, but who are their centers other than Mack ?

and can we retain on Ry Jo and flip him at 2 mill ?

putting Johansen on Waivers apparently

 

[sa cyred]

Seems like they are going to waive him according to a few people on twitter

 

[FlyerNutter]

Solid move for Buffalo.

Byram is love.

 

[Adam Warlock]

Didnt torts run him out of columbus or was that pre torts?

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

This would be a very good sign. He’s broiled.

He also has a horrible relationship with Torts, so maybe Torts just wants to have him buried riding out his contract on a bus.

Loan him to Hershey. He gets to play with his brother and we get to see two guys making almost $16M combined on the same AHL team.

 

[Starat327]

A cooked Marleau at 6.25 for one year cost a later first a few years back. A cooked Johansen at 4M should be, I would think, a late 2nd on its own, if valuations are approximate.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

This is the 2nd time (Tkachuk) in a good 5 or 6 years a trade made me think hard. I miss those.

 

[Danko]

yep as per Frank Seravalli: Johansen is on waivers

 

[BritainStix]

Getting a 1st for Walker is a fantastic deal. All those overreacting in the other thread sure look stupid now.

I like it.

Yeah Colorado appears to do have some work with these two trades. Bryam is on the downswing, Walker replaces him. Middelstadt is on the upswing slides into your 2C role. Johansen was their 4C making $4M so you clear out a bad contract.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

2025 1st rounder is the possible pick.

 

[Redpath]

Very happy with this. Still have a sour taste in my mouth after the Seeler re-signing, though.

 

[VladDrag]

Has an official deal been announced? Is it this year or next year?

 

[LegionOfGloom]

Getting a 1st for Walker is a fantastic deal. All those overreacting in the other thread sure look stupid now.

Bro stop flirting and just go full Deadhead already

Idk why we targeted next year's first though
