Let me know your thoughts on this trade
Steal in my opinion
Colorado won this trade HANDS DOWN
Good trade for Colorado they needed a second line Center behind Nathan MacKinnon
Excellent top 6 pick up for Avs…and a talented and big bodied "C" too. Way to go Avs. Poor "Chucky"….Habs ruined him and he's drifted from team to team ever since….this could be his last stop.
Feels like Trotz did the Avs a solid, with another part of the deal to come through later. Weird deal
What are they smoking in NASHVILLE. I WANT SOME !!!
what would have been the numbers for a buyout for ryan if nashville had decided to do that ?
I think this trade indicates the predators dont think johansen will get his speed back
From Red Wings fan. Thank you Nashville & Colorado. Somebody finally made a move. Hopefully this will start other trades and movement by teams.
Trotz opening cap space to facilitate a DeBrincat trade? 🤔
Avs made out pretty well…he's always had the big body and could be a 50-60 point guy again in Colorado for 2 yrs at 4 mil per. I'd like it better from the Preds perspective if it had been a 2/3mil-5/6mil split on the cap in their favour.
Good trade for the Avs
prior to this there were rumblings inside the preds rumor mills about buying out johansen so that saves them from doing that at least
Not bad of a deal…
Colorado hoping Johansen bounces back and becomes that 50 point center again, only paying 4m is worth the risk.
Nashville clears 4m off the salary without having to give up any assets.
Win/Win for both.
How in the world do trades like this, without any bidding or appreciable return even happen? Say what you will about Ryan Johansen but he is still a valuable middle six center who's reduced cap hit makes this one sided trade a huge win for the Avs.
If I was an opposing GM, especially from the Eastern conference, I would raise the ante to one tweener (like they received) and a 6th or 7th round pick. Then I would have my 3rd line center to build a line around.
Loving it!!! Johansen is the experienced player on 2C that we needed. Congrats to Sakic and MacFarland – great deal!!!
I can understand Trotz’s thinking – finally dumps a talented but inconsistent player and clears $4m off the books. But I wonder how much he shopped around because one would think he could’ve snagged a better haul, a second round pick or maybe even a late first. Or a promising young player.
Solid move by the Avs
Great deal. I think Colorado gets some balance
Nashville clearing extra space to add DeBrincat and still have room to play?
You think Nashville could have got a 4th-7th round pick or B or C level prospect at least for retaining 50%. but ok lol
Johansen had one good healthy year on this horrible contract. At no point was he ever an 8 mil dollar player. On a team that struggled with speed and scoring he wasnt the 2c nashville needed. They have several young guys like trennen and glass that have earned more playing time and money in the next couple years. Yes just looking at players swapped the Avs won this one hands down. Looking at it from what it cost Nashville to keep him vs what he gave imo its a win for nashville as well. I hope he fits in well for Colorado. He's a great person and still has some hockey left to play in his career.
You would think that taking 50% was not enough for Nashville, would expect something more in the 60-40 range? Salary dumps and rebuilding in Nashville who else is for sale?
All I can say is "WoW!!"
