ARI/COL take 2

[AvalancheGM]

To Arizona:
Matthew Freytag (72)
Matthew Murphy (51)

To Colorado:
Luke Ripley (83)
Nathan Bastian (63)

Colorado accepts. More big changes. The addition of Pavelski and Vatanen left Freytag out of the top six and Bastian is a good replacement for Shaw on my third line. I'm ready to give up on Murphy, with the full knowledge he could turn into a #2 or #3 dman for the Yotes. Ripley adds yet another big hitter to my blue line. Adding more muscle to balance out the recent trades for skill.

[Arizona - interim]

Confirmed. Freytag brings much needed offense with the season-ending injury to Gusev. Murphy is a cheaper 3rd pairing d-man that helps balance out the financial impact of the deal.
