NYR Receives:
Karl Alzner [84]
Fraser Minten [64]
Connor Clifton [69]

COL Receives:
Jacob Larsson [62]
Matthew Murphy [51]
2026 NYR 4th

Rangers accept. Avs looking for bottom pair depth. I have used Larsson / Yelshansky / Morin platoon on my bottom pair. Larsson is largely the best of the three, to some degree, but really he's at 600K. Coming back is Alzner, who I certainly wouldn't trade for Larsson 1-for-1, but is far from unusable, and IMHO fits a platoon role with Yel/Morin. I also ship out Matt Murphy, who vapped into oblivion and I have only 6 D in the AHL, so he HAD to play. Clifton isn't good, but he isnt a literal 10 OA.

I bring in Fraser who I had inquired about for my bottom 6 upgrade. Young, team controlled salary, and still has room to grow in SK and HI. 4th for balance I suppose? Who wants to sit around at that point in the draft anyway...

Pleasure Josh, hope it keeps you guys chugging along.

Avs accept. Adding a solid 3rd pair D was a priority after the Alzner suspension. Minten has been up to fill in for injuries this year but long term isn't really anything special. Adding a lottery ticket is nice in a year where we don't have much. Cheers Nick.
