The Blues have traded Erik Johnson and Jay McClement to Colorado for Stewart and Shattenkirk. Draft picks also included.

why are the avs self-destructing? giving up stewart, seriously? guy was a point per game getter before he broke his hand this year.

Now that's what I like to see, BIG TRADES! I love them!

Erik Johnson is far and away the best player in that deal, the Avs GM has not "lost his mind", he has improved his teams blue line significantly.

wow

so, how's the market looking, Darcy...

Remember when Eric Brewer was supposed to be the next big thing. So was Erik Johnson, and they got rid of both.

Only the fact that it's a 2 for 1 makes this deal equal.

What in the hell? Wow. What a blockbuster! Surprised that the Avs traded Stewart AND Shattenkirk. This is huge.

Both Stewart and Shattenkirk were productive in their Blues debut, helping to deliver a 9-3 spanking to the Ducks. Stewart had two power play goals.

Hell yeah Eric Johnson has got Norris potential written all over him, might take him a few more years to expand his game but he's got all the tools. I think the Avs won that deal but you know how it is in hockey, it takes years to figure out how good the players actually are. As for the Blues, I think their team president is a prideful ex-goalie who is butt hurt over giving up too much for Halek, and is trying to blame his defense men and not his goalies or coaches for their teams shitty defense. It's foolish to trade a defense man as good as Johnson, unless you're getting a landslide win of a deal.

I like Johnson. I think this is a fair trade that benefits both teams equally.
