The only problem with this trade is that it doesn't fix the main problem the avs have, their small non physical defensemen who can't move any opposing players out from in front of their own net. Stand in front of the net, screen the goalie and you will score. Avs can't stop this from happening.
From trade rumors that Panthers and Avalanche linked to Ducks LD Cam Fowler if true or not we will see?
From trade rumors that leafs linked to Ducks Forwards LW/C/RW Frank Vatrano and C/RW Brett Leason if true or not we will see?
A good trade for both. Sharks bought low on Blackwood and now are selling high. Avs need better goaltending and now they have it. Nice work by both GM's.
Not a bad move for the Sharks 👍

Even trade for both teams.
MacKinnon IS the best player in the NHL. He shows up when it counts.
Avs fan here! This is my first time watching one of your videos straight to the point and very informative about the trade. Seem like great guys, just subscribed!
Great trade for both teams for where they are.
This won't do anything to address the Avs abysmal defense.
Georgiev was never bashed, he brought it on himself , his 1st year he was great the last 2 years he’s the worst starter in the NHL ! What are we supposed to say when a goalie can’t make a simple save ? PS SJ should play him till deadline then flip him to the Oilers for a 1st rounder , that would be hilarious lol
I wouldn't consider this a blockbuster trade.
