Confirmed with Link: Zadorov + Anton Lindholm traded to Chicago for Saad ($1M retained) + Dennis Gilbert

[SuperJoe]

I need more details

 

[LTC Pain]

This likely means we are out of the Hall sweepstakes. CYA Z!

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

 

[RoyIsALegend]

I like this.

 

[JWK]

Sakic you magnificent bastard

 

[Avs_19]

I hate not getting Hall but this is really good for the Avs.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Man I'm really sad that Z is gone :[ I'm gonna miss that guy. He was an inconsistent player but he always had a great attitude and was a ton of fun to watch when he was on his game.

 

[SuperJoe]

I like the 1mill retention

 

[LTC Pain]

Not bad Super Joe! Who is Dennis Gilbert???

 

[Pacman33]

 

[SuperJoe]

Can someone tell more about this Gilbert fellow

 

[atreyuavenged]

Retention, nice! Don't know much about Gilbert though.

 

[NOTENOUGHJTCGOALS]

Is Dennis Gilbert anything worth mentioning?

Or another mark alt type player?

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Joe Sakic just traded his 7th d for a top 6 winger and got them to retain.

Love ya Z but holy shit smell ya later after that trade.

He's an AHLer, what else do you need to know? Maybe get a game or two if we have a really injury depleted D?

 

[Avs_19]

I can’t believe Sakic managed to get Gilbert too.

(I don’t know who Gilbert is)

 

[Clayonator]

Why is Chicago retaining, with Colorado’s cap space, and Saad’s deal expiring next year?

He’s more voweluble

 

[Patagonia]

We lose Zadorov and gain endless shite puns. Bad trade.

Assuming there is no retention, $6M per is too much to pay him.

 

[Miri]

Shit, i dont hate Saad, but i was hoping for bonafide top-six player, not a middle-six one. Meh.
Hopefully this means Pietrangelo as replacement for Zadorov.

It suggests to me Sakic is not done yet and wants to add another player. That extra $1m could make or break it with Graves and Jost needing new deals.

 

[Foppa2118]

$1M is exactly what I thought we could get Chicago to retain. Great move Joe.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

 

[The Pwnerer]

We can all blame our new favorite 6'5" defensemen Ryan Graves for this. This one definitely hits hard just like the Barrie trade. We'll miss you Big Z.

It would make sense.
