Pray for Colorado’s downfall in 2027 & 2028 so we can get Maddox Schultz in 28
Worth noting that the 1st is in 2027. Obviously Colorado looks great this year, teams often have fall offs year-to-year (see Leafs, Maple).
Edit: For context, in 2025 Colorado’s pick was 22nd. Ours was 25th.
Can’t complain about that
Great deal
BRAD IS ALIVE
KEEP IT UP KING I NEVER STOP BELIEVING IN YOU
Hloy fuck we did a thing FINALLY!
I’d be flabbergasted if the Avs are picking top 10 anytime soon
2027 supposed to be a real deep draft, no?
Very solid compensation
Awesome!
May the Avs win the cup this year, then be worse than this year’s Canucks for the next two years.
This is a good trade! Who knows what can happen to the aves next year.
2027 pick has no impact to the team until maybe 2028/29 season. They will trade it.
Brad has had his coffee
That’s not the full information lol. The condition on the 5th is the lowest of the 3 5th round picks Avs currently have.
Good trade.
For the people who were in the past saying “you cannot win with top heavy salary caps,” and “we need to spend salary from the top players to balance our lines,” this is 9 times out of 10 what you get. Depth is a dime a dozen. Elite players are not. You win with good depth, you don’t win by spending valuable assets or cap on it.
Getting a first for Roy is a massive win
Nice trade!
Brad with a rare win. Well done 👍
It’s a start. Too bad we don’t own our own first in 2027.
Rare Brad Tre fleece?
Marner turned into a couple picks, thats tough.
Injuries happen teams have off years, a 1st is a 1st.
Didn’t Colorado trade a conditional first in 2027 to the Islanders that transfers if Colorados pick this year is top 10 (not likely). What happens if the 2026 pick doesn’t go to the Islanders?
I’m pretty sure top 10 protected at this point is boilerplate at this point, every competing team sends a top 10 protected first, even though the likelihood of it for most teams (minus one blue and white team) is low

When the Leafs trade a first round pick in the high 20’s: Fire the GM and the President too!
When the Leafs trade for a first round pick in the high 20’s: Meh, who cares.
Was there any picks or other assets in the Marner/Roy trade?
Marner for a 2027 1st and a 2026 5th plus if anything else was involved when Roy came over sounds a lot better than Marner for Roy.
Well done to get a 1st. Keep it coming
“Full” information (no information on the 5th rounder conditions)
Wow, I’ll admit: I’m impressed with that return.
Wait Brad actually cooked on this? Center market must be shit if we’re getting a first+ for Roy
There must always be a Roy in Colorado.
Now do Joshua and Maccelli
Imagine what Matthews would get.

Not bad price..
ON with the rebuild, and entertain trades for Matthews & Nylander.. They both deserve the option of wanting to stick around or not..

Mitch Marner for Landon DuPont
