eh, this is his chance for a payday.Hoping for fine line between wanting cups and money..

True. But we could only afford 4-5m range, if we got rid of Manson(G)eh, this is his chance for a payday.
I know Manson is such a wildcard because of injuries but he brings something we need. It’s gonna be a tough summer for the Avs front officeTrue. But we could only afford 4-5m range, if we got rid of Manson(G)
I'm in the camp if Manson contributes all he can and we get another cup this season, he's absolutely done his job and we trade him.I know Manson is such a wildcard because of injuries but he brings something we need. It’s gonna be a tough summer for the Avs front office
I thought EDM, TOR, and COL were the obvious teams that fit him from a playstyle standpoint.
I thought the flyers should have received more tbh, given the cost of offloading bad contracts in the offseason.Walker looks great, fits in really well. Crazy that they included dumping Ryjo for a meh 1st.
Dude just went from serious injury, to cap dump for his team, to revitalized career that saw him traded for a 1st.Hoping for fine line between wanting cups and money..
The Flyers got a 1st for Walker so they did fine. The Avs probably saw this as a 50/50 deal.I thought EDM, TOR, and COL were the obvious teams that fit him from a playstyle standpoint.
No surprise he's already excelling in COL. Happy for him.

But this TDL was a buyers market so they did well all things considered.
It's alright, we got Cody Ceci......
Seems like the injury occured AFTER he cleared waivers.How would either side prove when the injury occurred?
Ie. for RyJo, who’s the say the injury didn’t happen AFTER he was traded?
Using the Marleau Scale 1st=$6M cap dump, so you’d think the rate of exchange on RyJo’s $4M slot would be about a 2nd. Easily worth it from the Avalanche perspective.The Flyers got a 1st for Walker so they did fine. The Avs probably saw this as a 50/50 deal.
50% of that 1st went to landing Walker and 50% of that 1st was the cost to paper over the summer mistake of trading for RyJo and moving his 2024-25 $4MM cap hit off the books.
This seems like a win/win trade.

I think I speak for all Avs’ fans, we like him and he’s been good. We hope to re-sign him, somehow.How has Walker been in Colorado? His absence has been felt in Philly for sure.

Was a buyers market. Walker was one of only 2-3 players that even returned a 1st at all.
Philly used their cap space to up their return for Walker. Good move for a rebuilding team.It was a masterful trade by Colorado. It isn't so much Philly got fleeced, so much as the Avs were able to reconstitute their whole roster and balance it out with depth and a quality second line center or as it was last night top line, by shifting RyJo's money and making Byram expendable.
Yup. CMAC is a master of roster construction and structure. Its all the whole being greater than the sum of its parts.It was a masterful trade by Colorado.

Now, if only they were actually rebuildingPhilly used their cap space to up their return for Walker. Good move for a rebuilding team.
I'm fine if they don't.Now, if only they were actually rebuilding
