Actually, one of the reasons (I would presume) that the Avs responded so quickly is that they date-stamped this transaction today. I am not 100% certain but I would think that would imply that the one year freeze would end on Feb 28th next year, which would likely fall before the trade deadline date.
Smart move by the Avs.
By the way, how about Neil Smith (is that his name?) on Sportsnet ripping the Avs GM a new one after his comments. Too funny.
