I was a bit surprised that when I made Stewart available I had a total of 4 offers I thought he would garner more interest.
However the offers made were strong ... Dave and Turd made strong pushes, but Stewart is off to the AVS.....
The deal breaks down like this:
To Colorado-
Chris "young Iggy" Stewart
To Washington-
Thomas Fleischmann
Marcus Johanssen
Ludvig Rensfeldt
TB 2nd in 2011
Analysis:
Stewart was Very hard to move. In fact I wanted to keep him. However, I realized that moving him could set me up better for the future.
Flieschmann is having a resurgence in Colorado, but is still a bit of an Enigma. I am hoping he can keep up his pace. Johanssen projects to be a solid 2nd line two-way center and Rensfeldt is a project that was an early 2nd round pick last draft.
