Why are GMs still accepting Joe and CMac’s phone calls?
a 2C retained down to 4M for two more years? For free?
AND RETENTION OF SALARY? ANOTHER MACFARLAND/SAKIC W
Is Johansen still good? Either way what a trade by MacFarland and Sakic
MACFARLAND/SAKIC MASTERCLASS
How should I feel about this?
This is unreal. Great trade for us!
I’ll take a 2C for basically free over this years 1st and/or prospects/Girard/Toews. Crazy good deal. No clue how they got full 50% retained on a two year deal either.
There has to be a catch right?
This is an insaneeee deal. A 2C for 2 years at 4 million per for basically nothing? This will be the best offensive team Johansen has ever played with too. Wouldn’t be suprised to see a career year.
How in the world did that happen? Like really? How?
What a fucking deal. I thought this was a parody site or proposed trade on tv. Can’t believe this is a real trade.
I love this trade, actually. Yeah, he’s been a bit shit in Nashville, but the Avs basically got him for free and a 2C would definitely cost more than $4M a season in free agency. In Joe and CMac we trust 🫡
50% retained is so fire. Now I’m dreaming on keeping both Byram and toews
Avs system seems to promote players hitting a team ceiling to breakout. If we’ve learned anything the last couple of years this could end extremely well for us and costs basically nothing.
Galchenyuk is basically free trade value! Great move if RJ stays healthy.
They just… fleeced Barry Trotz? Common Sakic W.
Catch: ankle injury last season requiring surgery [in Feb](https://twitter.com/HowsItGoin_eh/status/1628223537499582465?t=ArrSBxbn_Sa_rl9Z9nmMtA&s=19)
