The Avs would like to thank the Thrashers for the quick trade talks. We moved the best player in the deal, but for a 1 OV decrease, we felt it was worthwhile since Sopel is signed through next season and has a significantly lower salary.
The draft pick was key, as the Avs hope to re-acquire some picks in what is expected to be a deep draft.
