Probably all that needs to be said on the matter.

 

[AvsRobin]

Clark for Stollery
Hamilton for Sgarbossa

Probably. I'll just add that he's from Colorado and played with Duchene in juniors.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Hey look, another smart "get rid of a prospect we hate" trade.

That's two so far. I wish they'd made more earlier in the year.

Although Clark is pretty bad/slow and I doubt he ever develops into an actual NHLer, but on this blueline you never know.

 

[Skip2myBordyloo]

So much wasted potential in Sgarbossa. He's been pretty meh the last two years in Lake Erie.

 

[bohlmeister]

These are the deals I expected with Roy hating the guys we had in LE.

 

[henchman21]

Clark will be a RD for Lake Erie... something they lack for next year.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

So much wasted potential in Sgarbossa. He's been pretty meh the last two years in Lake Erie.

This was probably good for his career. He could still become something. He was good first year in AHL.

 

[Crisp Breakout]

Well, he's at least got guts. Here's a video of him stepping up and taking a beating from Bordy.

 

[S E P H]

Mat Clark is one effin tough shutdown defenceman.

Would have loved to see more from Sgarbossa, but he was just injury prone.


Clark is just 24 years old and realized he was born in Lakewood, Colorado. Hometown ki....man.

 

[Wintersun]

Hamilton + Clark

VS

Sgarbossa + Stollery

I like the pair we received more. Still liked Sgarbossa more than Clark though.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Lakewood, that's my hood!

Clark sounds like he will be able to fill the role Guenin was originally supposed to fill, and Gervais has sucked too hard to fill, as the more veteran defensive RHD for the AHL club. This is just a guess until we see what happens this summer, but I bet he's Bigras' partner when the monster open next season.

 

[cgf]

This was probably good for his career. He could still become something. He was good first year in AHL.

He was awesome his first year in the AHL, but if the stories are to be believed he let that get to his head too much and stopped working as hard after that. If true, this trade could give him the shake up he needs to get back on track. As I did like what I saw from him during his call up this season and can definitely see him working his way up to a 3rd line job next season, with the right team, and if he has the right mindset.

 

[FoppaForsberg*]

AHLer for AHLer, meh.

 

[R S]

Pretty much an AHLer for AHLer deal. Probably a good depth move for the Monsters. Hamilton replaces Sgarbossa in their forward ranks and Clark adds some toughness and "young" experience to the blueline.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

It's too bad Sgarbossa never built on those first couple seasons we had him. Thought he would be a decent top-6er.

 

[freeboy]

well, the wild got Leopold and Stewart for their cup run.. hum and we got more guys that no ones wants for our ahl team...

 

[Foppa2118]

Well, he's at least got guts. Here's a video of him stepping up and taking a beating from Bordy.

Wow, did you see that hit Bordy laid at center ice to start that?

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Wow, did you see that hit Bordy laid at center ice to start that?

Great hit, but he was losing that fight until the end. They should have good time at practise.

 

[Foppa2118]

Great hit, but he was losing that fight until the end. They should have good time at practise.

Yea I wonder if he didn't want to do his usual rock em sock em routine, and held back a bit because the kid was out of his weight class.

 

[Nzap]

well, the wild got Leopold and Stewart for their cup run.. hum and we got more guys that no ones wants for our ahl team...

yeah and we gave up superstars right?

 

[Congo Jack]

So on NHL.com it says we also gave up a conditional 7th round pick, but I can't find any more info on that.

Everyone the Avs bring in is a fan these days.
