Wooo, what a big day for the Avs franchise. Rebuild of the century!!!

I just expected one player moved, so Martinsen is bonus. People don't want our junk. We don't want our junk.

 

[Bubba Thudd]

We didn't get worse. That's a win, right? Right?

 

[dahrougem2]

Lol man, Duthie, just shut up.

The guy is using the Taylor Hall trade as a rationale and saying "well, could they REALLY expect more than a 3/4 defensemen for Matt Duchene?"

For once, I actually like Ray Ferraro today. First he puts O'Neill in his place regarding Matthews and then wonders why Duthie is questioning not trading Duchene when he can easily wait until the draft

 

[Alex Jones]

Not particularly happy, but why would people want our players???

 

[Vaslof]

Positives: Sakic didn't do anything stupid.

Negatives: Sakic didn't do much at all.

 

[AvalancheFan19]

We didn't get worse. That's a win, right? Right?

That's literally impossible lol.

 

[AslanRH]

I wonder if the Tyutin deal was killed by the Streit deal

 

[Avs_19]

Not acquiring a single pick and being stuck with most of the scrubs is a massive failure.

I don't expect this organization to take Tyutin, Mitchell, Bourque, etc out of the lineup either. Ugh.

 

[tucker3434]

Well...

 

[henchman21]

So... can we all start to agree that Sakic is too passive?

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Yeah not really surprised by this at all. We're the worst team in the expansion era, why would teams want the worst players on the worst team?


I'm sure the floodgates will open with Avs fans now and the pitchforks ready for Sakic because we only made two trades at the end of the day. Those fans who simply dont understand the game very well.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

What a mess. Worst team in the league can't even pick up an actual draft pick for a UFA. Hard to rebuild when you don't acquire assets.

 

[Skip2myBordyloo]

Fire Sakic.

 

[Foppa2118]

Not getting anything for Bourque or Tyutin is a blown deal IMO. Sakic should have been able to get something for them.

 

[the_fan]

Avs are lucky to even get rid of Martinsen and Iginla, I didn't think any team would want to pick up any of the Avs garbage.

 

[dahrougem2]

So... can we all start to agree that Sakic is too passive?

I think it's plain as day to see that he is way, way too passive.

I at the very least expected Fedor Tyutin to be traded. Not just because teams need defensive depth but also because he hasn't been half bad this season.

This is a very, very poor showing today from Sakic.

 

[Alex Jones]

So... can we all start to agree that Sakic is too passive?

Yea, he should have made a big move. I understand if he literally couldn't find buyers for our depth players, but if we are going to rebuild lets get aggressive.

 

[Bubba Thudd]

Sakic wanted to leave McFarland something to work with, after he steps down.

 

[Balthazar]

Fire Sakic.

He won't get fired but he needs to step down. I know he thinks he'll get better deals at the draft but it won't happen.

 

[Vaslof]

So... can we all start to agree that Sakic is too passive?

If they keep Duchene and he walks in 2 years that will be irrefutable proof of it

 

[AvsGuy]

I think I'm done for the year. There's nothing left to see in the last 20 games other than the same old names doing the same old tired routine.

Legitimately not sure why half this roster is still here after today. Joe Nieuwendyk didn't last this long as GM, if Sakic is back next year I don't think I'll be watching then either.

 

[dahrougem2]

I 100% expected Iginla to be traded - not surprised there.

Didn't expect Martinsen to be traded, so that's gravy.

However, I expected both Tyutin and Bourque. Especially Tyutin, but I had hopes for Bourque too especially because IIRC it was either McKenzie or Friedman who said that there's been some interest in Bourque a few weeks back (think it was Friedman).

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Joe Sakic, master of rebuilds...and also of building competitive teams. We're going to be champions sooner rather than later!

 

[MonsterMack]

On the bright side, we get another few months of trade speculation for Duchene and Landeskog
