Aaron Musick: Avs acquire Downie
He's not so Downey soft

Great Move by the Avs

when having ten 3rd line forwards isn't enough

They gave up quincy

they gave up QUINCEY for DOWNIE??? wow, I would have thought they could get more for Quincey - downie is a good pick up, but not for Quincey

Sherman you gotta go ! ! ! ! how many 3rd/4th liners does this team need?

for kyle quincey aparantly

How the hell do we trade Quincy for him?
Quincy has been one of our best D's all season.

Adding Downie was a great move, but at the expense of Quincey I don't know.

There have been a ton of rumors that winnik is being shopped. The avs did need to improve their bottom 6 and this really helps. Its a good move in sense of building a playoff team.

Downie for Quincy was a good even trade that will really help both clubs

well now that i found out that it was for quinecy i well change my tune!!!! unless there is a second rd pick ont the way this is the worst trade sherman made yet!!!

Good trade for both....

I'm not so sure about that. Quincey might be frustrating but he's got a lot of skill.

I think it was a very fair trade. TB thought pretty high of downie. The avs ended up trading a Dman for a forward as well.

We traded quincy for a young talented roster player that helps the avs need on offense. Where else were you going to find a trade that didnt offer up just random prospects and picks

Well I was drinking a beer before the trade happened. I think I'm going to bust out the jaeger now

fwiw,

I am now hearing TB has traded Kyle Quincey to DET. Working on details but sounds like Quincey to DET for a first-round pick. Verifying.

There is a rumor that Quincy has just been traded to Detroit for their 1st

Well, he's going to have the rest of the year to show us what he can do, then I would agree with another post, McLeod's days are probably numbered.

He's soon to be 25 and has scored 20+goals few years ago....i think for the rest of this season, he probably plays 2nd line some shifts to open up space for the skilled players???

i guess we gotta give this trade a chance, but it would have been nice to get a draft pick as well.

We could have had a 1st!

Looking to be a very strange trade for the Avs...

wow - Tampa flipped him. The pick will be between 24-30th?

so what would have been better - Quincy to Detroit for a 1st or to Tampa for Downie?

For the AVs? How about TB? They've been looking for someone on the backend since the off-season they finally get a younger piece to fit in with the core and they flip him to Detroit.

Quincey might have been bonuced to Detroit for their 1st rounder...

I'd take Downie. That first is more than likely going to take year to develop if ever. Downie will be a good fit for now and the future.

Downie is worth more than a probably the 30th pick in the draft. The avs would never trade with det anyways
