[The Merchant]

Free money. Shame he couldn't fit in here.

I wasn't expecting this. I wonder if this is a prelude to another trade? Kinda a weird time to trade him. But he definitely didn't fit Bednar's system at all.

 

[The Moops]

Great job by CMac recognizing it wasn't going to work out here

 

[NateTheGreat]

CMac cooking

 

[RampoSanta]

step 1 of something

 

[NikB]

Ryjo next

 

[BrickNHL]

Very interesting. Hopefully they use this cap space for a new Center (or goalie)

 

[lionsDen]

well least we got something

 

[AvsWraith]

Need a really good 2C please!

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

Ryjo and a fifth for a seventh.

First and that Russian D they drafted for Compher.

You wanted a second line upgrade. You got one.

 

[LOFIN]

I would have to think this was partially initiated by Tatar, it just didn't click here

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Tomasssssssss

 

[missionAvs]

Lol I was thinking this morning that there's no way any team actually trades for him. It turns out we had to give him away.

 

[AvsCOL]

Have to think this is a precursor to another trade? They’re kind of thin at forward as is…

 

[redandyellowcametobe]

Even though it wasn’t working, this is still a bit puzzling by itself.

 

[AvsFan29]

Good move. Freeing up cash obviously

 

[Vk1ing]

Lol saw a colorado trade and he was first name that came to mind. Wish it had worked out here but good we cut our losses and got something for him.

 

[Avs44]

Hey, free 5th rounder! Clearly wasn't working with Bednar here.

 

[Bone Breaker]

best trade by CMac so far. not sure if I insert or not.

 

[Balthazar]

Could be a step one for something else but most likely he asked for a trade because it wasn't working here and he's a pending UFA.

 

[Mooserton]

Ryjo next

If only.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Has to be dominoes. We don't have depth to give away.

Exactly

 

[sethro109]

This is so Meyers can stay up, since he matched Tatar's season goal totals in 1 game.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

lmaoooo good riddance

Just made ourselves better no matter who takes that spot.

 

[Balthazar]

It's just CMac making sure that Seattle won't beat us in the playoffs again by sending them Tatar.
