Either Avs fleeced Preds or Johansen is so bad that Avs shouldn’t put him in 2C. Either way, recent cup winner with MacKinnon and Makar in prime shouldn’t be looking for scraps for free. Sakic should have gone after Lindholm and Avs would have been instant favourites for next cup

His contract wasn’t great so I wasn’t expecting the Avs to give up a lot for him. Yet the guy they’re sending in return is a UFA on July 1st.
Wonder if Nashville is heading for a rebuild, and regardless of that question is Duchene is next?

Traded a player that had maybe 50 points in the AHL for someone that averaged .5 per game in the NHL with half a cap retainer on a shit team at that. This is textbook fleece

Almost has to be something that we don’t know going on. Ryan is no gamebreaker but a solid player to get at 4 mill a year (preds retaining half) plus with the rest of the avs skill to help him, Why not make this move for a FA ahler? If healthy could be 60-70 point player

I don’t see Galchenyuk being a regular roster player anywhere unless the Preds coach him into it and it works out for both teams. It just seems like the Avs are preparing to possibly replace Compher if they can’t resign him.
But right now, this certainly does look like a fleece.

They fleeced each other.

Nashville going full rebuild? I wouldn’t take Galchenyuk as a FA, very weird take. Pick or prospect sure, but a bottom 6 meh winger?

Trotz did not want Johansen. He’s not going to keep Galchenyuk either.

No, Nashville traded fo cap space, not Galchenyuk

No. Nashville just gained needed cap space for a better free agent player

This trade makes no fuckin sense on the value side.
Boston-Nolan
Nah seems fair to me

Johansen is cooked he has this year and next at 4 million since nashville is eating half. This is a full dump.
