The Wild landed forward Nick Bjugstad at next to no cost and Pittsburgh retained some salary as well. It is important to remember that this offseason, once a hearing begins, teams are no longer allowed to negotiate with the player in question while the arbitrator deliberates. Sakic is made for this type of work and Elway is what everyone worries about when players become management. The 2016 first-round pick has found success at every level and on every team he has played for. Devon Toews. Stastny has already shown that he can be an elite producer with Winnipeg’s talented forward group and has tremendous upside in the coming season. Which trade acquisition will have the greatest impact in 2020-21 and beyond? The same day, the New Jersey Devils made another buy-low addition, landing Andreas Johnsson from the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Islanders have a lot of players to re-sign and not a lot of money to do so. However, this past season he was not even close to that level of play, recording an .890 save percentage and 3.35 GAA, albeit in limited showings. Toews may not be the biggest name traded this off-season, but could wind up as one of the best acquisitions. Playoffs. The 2019 No. Devon Toews, just 26, is big, at 6-1, 191. However, he too had a breakout 2018-19 campaign, recording 27 goals and 47 points. In fact, he seems a capable replacement for Ian Cole, who has quietly been extremely effective since ending up in Colorado, but whose contract expires after the 2020-21 season. The league should handover the GM of year trophy to Sakic right now. First off, I think they need to make one more move now to clear a little bit of salary going into the year, and I’m thinking of a deal for Jost, Compher, or Donskoi that might get one of those second round picks back in the fold. I agree with you that it’s a concern. ago] Height 6.01 -- Weight 191 [185 cm/87 kg] Drafted by New York Islanders. In 68 games, he improved to 28 points, made an even bigger impact on the power play, improved defensively, and along the way ended up earning a top-four role with over 20 minutes of ice time per game. Anderson can be an impact power forward for years to come. 2 overall pick in 2012, he has taken on more of a two-way, defensive prowess in the pros and is very solid (again, when healthy). After signing an extension, Allen also has some job security in Montreal and may even have the added incentive of playing well in order to land the starting job for the Seattle Kraken. This isn’t just a prospect who hasn’t played much yet (Timmins, Byram). The schedule only has 55 more games on it for the Blues and every one of them is against a divisional opponent. Enter your email address to get all of our posts in your inbox! Working with just under $9MM in cap space, the Islanders needed to re-sign core contributors Mathew Barzal and Ryan Pulock, as well as Toews. Trading away Toews, who had filed for salary arbitration, is now one less contract that the team needs to squeeze in. With their depth on defense – Pulock, Johnny Boychuk, Nick Leddy, Adam Pelech, Scott Mayfield, Thomas Hickey and prospects Sebastian Aho and Noah Dobson – Toews was expendable, even if he played a major role this season. Colorado Avalanche| Devon Toews| Erik Johnson| Injury| Jared Bednar| Matt Calvert| Nathan MacKinnon| Pavel Francouz, January 30, 2021 at 3:21 pm CDT | by Zach Leach 5 Comments, It should not come as much of a surprise that Bowen Byram isn’t going anywhere. That decision was a Devon Toews trade.. To limit the players who needed new contracts, Toews was traded to the Colorado Avalanche for 2021 and 2022 second-round picks. - round 4 #108 overall 2014 NHL Entry Draft. A young, rebuilding team who has seen countless veterans leave, many of whom just this off-season, Detroit adds a new face with years of experience and leadership in Staal. September 11: After acquiring Kapanen, the Pittsburgh Penguins knew they needed to shed salary. Sakic knows there is a goaltender problem. It is the perfect fit and should pan out. The Canadiens believe that this is his long-term yearly value, as they did not hesitate to sign Anderson to a seven-year deal. On Monday afternoon they acquired restricted free agent defenseman Devon Toews … Hornqvist meanwhile has not played in more than 70 games in over four years, but is quietly still the same 50-point player that he always has been, just on a per-game basis. As a result, they ignored that depth and landed a starter for the present who doubles as a starter of the future in young Matt Murray. A streaky, but accomplished keeper, Murray came over from the Pittsburgh Penguins at the price of a second-round pick and a prospect, but will be well worth it if he can solidify the net for the Senators. Matheson, likely to play a bottom-pair role for Pittsburgh, is a huge upgrade to the players the Penguins rolled out on their final pairing last season. New Pod: Avs on fire, backup goalie situation and should Compher play ahead of LOC? Most young players would be flattered to share their namesake with Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews, a three-time Stanley Cup champion and one of the more exciting players in today’s game. Unfortunately for the Islanders, someone had to go and Toews fit the bill. This past season, he showed even more growth. Perhaps the goal is simply to elevate Jones’ game by giving him an established backup to compete with, but there is always the possibility that Dubnyk emerges the victor. Blais was given a two-minute minor penalty for elbowing during the match. Minnesota acquired Marcus Johansson from the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for Eric Staal. Johansson provides great versatility as a player who can effectively play any forward position and in any situation. If it wasn’t clear enough when the Avalanche traded away Ian Cole or when they subsequently risked the return, Greg Pateryn, on waivers, Byram’s role was never really in doubt. The Colorado Avalanche keep putting their salary cap space to good use. The 2020-21 league calendar was one of the key topics at Fridayâs GM meetings and while there still is no word on when the season will begin, there appears to be an overview of what training camps could look like. Larry Brooks of the New York Post reports that the NHL is targeting a two-week training camp along with three or four exhibition games per team; the seven that didnât participate in the Return to Play would get an extra week as had been previously reported. Instead of teams inviting a significant number of prospects and minor leaguers to camp, they would be capped at 35 players. Additionally, a conditioning camp before training camp begins has been proposed but is capped to recent draft picks, players on entry-level deals, and tryouts but anyone who participates in it must be invited to training camp. With the NHL still targeting a start around the first of January, that would have camps kicking off somewhere around mid-to-late December. … I think he’s been playing really good hockey, even if you go back to the playoffs." In the final push needed for the Vegas Golden Knights to sign Alex Pietrangelo, the team dealt top pair defenseman Nate Schmidt to the Vancouver Canucks in order to clear the necessary space. Really good first pass and can QB a pp (isles pp sucks w/ or w/o him). Back in the state where he made his name as a high school and college star, Bjugstad looks ready for a fresh start. What do you think? Sakic already has done one Zoom call on the day, so here’s what he said in the team’s prepared release: “Devon is a smart, two-way, puck-moving defenseman who plays 20-plus minutes a night. But otherwise, Sakic now has assembled one bear of a top-6 when it comes to skaters and puck movers. He is a durable defender who is excellent in transition and we are excited to add him to our blueline.”. Anthony DeAngelo – Settled, 2 years $4.8MM AAV A fourth-round pick in 2014 after his first season at Quinnipiac University, Toews would stay in college for two more years before joining the Islanders organization. The New York Islanders announced that they have traded Devon Toews to Colorado in exchange for second-round picks in 2021 and 2022. Amazingly, the very last trade made in the NHL so far this season came nearly a month ago. Even at the cost of two high picks, this seems like a shrewd deal by GM Joe Sakic. It’s no wonder the team tweeted “depth is the name of the game tonight.”. In need of impact wingers for Nico Hischier and Jack Hughes but not willing to derail the rebuild with high-priced trades or contracts, the Devils land a young player at next to no trade cost who is signed for several more years at an affordable price. The Colorado Avalanche defenseman will be in the lineup on Saturday for his sixth NHL game. I’ll be honest, I haven’t seen the Islanders play much in the last couple of years, so I’m going on what others who have seen him play a lot are saying about Toews and…the trade sounds like a steal, at least for now. He is a durable defender who is excellent in transition and we are excited to add him to our blueline.” About Devon Toews’ contract: he’s a restricted free agent who had just a $700,000 cap hit last year, and he had arbitration rights. I’m not sure there are many great choices out there right now. Toews (pronounced Taves) and Cale Makar are Canadians who took the U.S. college route, playing junior-A in Canada before joining relatively obscure programs at Quinnipiac and UMass, respectively. The department announced today that Sammy Blais of the St. Louis Blues will have a hearing today for an illegal check to the head on Colorado Avalanche defenseman Devon Toews. A perennial 20+ point producer and sound defensive player, Matheson will not be asked to play the same minutes as he did in Florida, but will still make the same impact in the minutes he does get from Pittsburgh. It’s a guy who played 20 minutes a night for a Barry Trotz team that just went to the conference finals. This time it cost them though. Byram is among those who will be asked to step up in Toews’ place. I would assume the Avs will have a new deal to announce with Toews at some point soon, if they don’t already. Avalanche games through April 20 postponed, Another Avs positive Covid test – this is getting more serious, The success of the Avalanche defense this season starts with the Colorado Eagles, Top 5 most educated Avalanche players of all time, Devan Dubnyk got his new Avs goalie mask in a hurry, Takeaways from Avalanche victory over Blues: Doooooob, Alex Newhook makes pro debut with Colorado, Takeaways from Avalanche win against Arizona, State of the Avalanche: GM Joe Sakic talks acquisitions, Cup expectations. Warren Foegele – Settled, 1 year, $2.14MM AAV, Ryan Strome – Player filing: $5.7MM, Team Filing: 3.6MM – Settled: 2 years, $4.5MM AAV, Brendan Lemieux – Player filing: $2MM, Team Filing: 2 years, $1.0125MM AAV – Settled: 2 years, $1.55MM AAV Yet, Toews was critically underrated in New York and the team gave up a very talented player. In this shortened season, that means any further action will result in the first year of his entry-level contract tolling. That’s a valuable commodity, and now that valuable commodity belongs to the Colorado Avalanche hockey club. That hearing, scheduled for October 31, will not be needed anymore, as the team has reached a four-year contract with Toews that will pay him an average annual value of $4.1MM. The Islanders only have $8.9 million worth of […] Saad has recorded 47+ points four times in seven full NHL seasons and would have hit 47 on the nose again this past season based on an 82-game pace. Andrew Mangiapane – Settled, 2 years $2.43MM AAV A two-way pivot who is good for 30-40 points and solid defensive play, Bonino is a useful addition for the Wild. However, it is hard to expect perfection out of a player who has only played for a year and a half in the National Hockey League. September 26: In what was one of the more obvious salary cap dumps in recent memory, the New York Rangers traded away veteran defenseman Marc Staal and a second-round pick in exchange for “future considerations”. Ryan Pulock – Settled, 2 years, $5.0MM AAV, Christian Jaros – Settled, 1 year, $750K (two-way), Chris Tierney – Settled, 2 years, $3.5MM AAV Lamoriello said he had a "difficult conversation" with Devon Toews informing him of the trade. Arbitration| Colorado Avalanche| Devon Toews| Newsstand, October 25, 2020 at 7:57 pm CDT | by Brian La Rose Leave a Comment. While Timmins made progress as a player this past season, he was hurt again in Game 6 of the second round (he’s said to be much better now) and you don’t want to pin all your hopes on him just yet probably. The news on injured defenseman Devon Toews is not optimistic, with head coach Jared Bednar telling The Athletic’s Peter Baugh that it could be a long-term absence. LL said Toews filing for arbitration and the unknown of how high an award could go spurred the move. Back with the team that drafted him, Kapanen will very likely slot in on the Penguins’ top line with Sidney Crosby and Jake Guentzel after scoring at a 40+ point full season pace in each of the last two seasons. The Islanders appeared to answer that question by trading defenseman Devon Toews to the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for a 2021 and 2022 second-round pick.The move is … Vancouver essentially lucked into him and it might just be the best trade of the off-season. He has also scored at a half-point per-game pace or better for nine straight years with four different teams. Avalanche newcomer Devon Toews, a coveted two-way defenseman, has a lot in common with the guy he might play next to on Colorado’s first pairing. September 2: After many years, the Montreal Canadiens finally landed a reliable backup to Carey Price. In what amounted to a salary cap dump for the St. Louis Blues, the Habs acquired former starter Jake Allen. Although Allen played second fiddle to Jordan Binnington again this past season, he returned to form and outplayed the starter with an impressive .927 save percentage and 2.15 GAA. Avs, former Isles D Toews agree to 4-year deal After acquiring Devon Toews from the Islanders on Oct. 12, the Avalanche agreed to a four-year deal with the defenseman Tuesday. 4 overall pick is an exceptional young defenseman and, as a player that Colorado hopes will be a core piece for years to come, they wanted to get him to the NHL as soon as possible. Though it took him a while to get to the NHL, when he did, Toews found immediate success. Through five games, he has given them no reason to doubt their decision. Just a few thoughts here. Remember how good Grubauer was in the previous playoffs against Calgary and San Jose. This started way back in August, even as the postseason was in full swing, as teams had to look ahead to next season as early as possible to get a jump on cap management. Perhaps the best thing that can be said about the rookie defenseman early on is that he actually hasn’t been that noticeable. Alexandar Georgiev – Settled, 2 years, $2.43MM AAV, Nick Paul – Settled, 2 years, $1.35MM AAV, Gustav Forsling  – Settled, 1 year, $700K AAV (two-way), Victor Olofsson – Settled, 2 years, $3.05MM AAV [27 yrs. Snapshots: Training Camps, Toews, McIsaac, Larry Brooks of the New York Post reports, notes Adrian Dater of Colorado Hockey Now, Avalanche Acquire Devan Dubnyk From Sharks, Vancouver Canucks Sign Tanner Pearson To Three-Year Extension, New Jersey Devils Expected To Move AHL Affiliate To Utica, Columbus’ Gustav Nyquist Will Not Play This Season, COVID Protocol Related Absences: 04/17/21, East Notes: Eichel, Beecher, Boston Injuries, Hart, Central Notes: Teravainen, Red Wings, Reichel, The injuries continue to pile up for the Avalanche as Peter Baugh of The Athletic relays (, Colorado is expected to reach a settlement with RFA defenseman. Either that, or EJ is going to have to waive his expansion no-move clause and let the Avs expose him to the Seattle Kraken. On Monday afternoon they acquired restricted free agent defenseman Devon Toews from the New York Islanders in exchange for two second-round draft picks (2021 and 2022). The Islanders almost certainly wouldn’t have wanted to part with a top-four defenseman who plays regular minutes and can score some, but they are facing a tough salary-cap crunch and needed to move him to be able to sign others. But let’s worry about next year, next year I guess. I like Grubauer – – but he can never stay healthy. Toews, 26, only broke into the NHL in 2018-19, but has made a great first impression. In fact, it would not be a surprise to see another defenseman move as the Isles make an effort to re-sign Barzal and Pulock without damaging the roster too much. About Devon Toews’ contract: he’s a restricted free agent who had just a $700,000 cap hit last year, and he had arbitration rights. “Toews was a consistent and solid core piece of a very good defensive Islanders team. Like every other team this season, St. Louis doesn’t have much time to sit around and wait for a ruling. I like the move a lot because you just don’t find too many young D-men available who have a proven record of being able to play 20 minutes a night at the NHL level. Even at 34, don’t be surprised to see the all-around forward return to form and potentially even rival the 70-point seasons of his early playing days. First, I love the trade for Toews and depending on the extension he signs it could be an even bigger winner. Nice job if you can get it. Two days after dealing for Brandon Saad and signing some of his own, Sakic just now dealt two second-round picks (one in 2021, one in 2022) to the New York Islanders for defenseman Devon Toews. Toews, 26, is giving up three years of unrestricted free agency in the deal and turning down the chance to walk into the open market next offseason. He probably has something up his sleeve or will make a deal around mid-season to shore up goaltending. Yes, a big concern. The second is what will happen with EJ? Here’s what Lou Lamoriello, Islanders GM, had to say about why he dealt Toews: “(A cap crunch) certainly played a role. Fortunately for the Avalanche, there is no reason to believe he won’t continue to meet expectations. Schmidt did it all for Vegas: team-leading minutes, 30+ points, defensive awareness, shot blocking, possession, power play and penalty kill roles, and even locker room leadership. I don’t know many Islander fans who liked this move, but this move needed to happen, it’s just sad to see Garth Snow still ruining the Islanders. However, the team’s depth forced them to deal him away and the New Jersey Devils were the lucky recipients. Toews, 26, only broke into the NHL in 2018-19, but has made a great first impression. In 2020-1, Toews will earn a base salary of $2,350,000, while carrying a cap hit of $4,100,000. Byram probably won’t be ready for another year. Andrew Hammond| Cam Talbot| Colorado Avalanche| Devon Toews| Injury| Minnesota Wild| Rudolfs Balcers| San Jose Sharks| St. Louis Blues| Taxi Squad| Vince Dunn, January 14, 2021 at 11:35 am CDT | by Gavin Lee Leave a Comment. October 12: The Colorado Avalanche were back in the headlines a couple of days later when they dealt two second-round picks to the New York Islanders for RFA defenseman Devon Toews. The Islanders needed cap space and dealt from a position of immense depth and talent on defense. This is a salary dump because Lou has to sign Pulock, and he figures Noah Dobson can play in his top 6 now I guess.”. In a forward group that is week down the middle and lacking in size, the big center is almost guaranteed a meaningful role. While Stastny had an off year this past season, he is just one year removed from recording 42 points in 50 games, a 69-point full season pace. Devon Toews is a very handsome man with a cool personality. Got to hand it to Joe, got some serious depth here in these trades! Toews was forced to leave the game but did return to log more than 22 minutes for the Avalanche. The trade gives the Islanders some more leverage to help move some of their more hefty contracts and free up cap space. This past season, he showed even more growth. Unfortunately, MacKinnon suffered an injury against the Minnesota Wild, one that will now keep him out on a week-to-week basis, according to Kyle Fredrickson of The Denver Post. He’s logged ten shots on goal, a few blocked shots, and a very impressive 59.1 Corsi For percentage. The Islanders dealt defenseman Devon Toews to the Avalanche Monday in exchange for Colorado’s second-round pick in both the 2021 and 2022 NHL Drafts. The Avalanche traded two second-round picks for Toews earlier this offseason, taking him away from the New York Islanders. The lucky team on the other side was the Detroit Red Wings, who made out like bandits with a nice draft selection and a new veteran leader for their blue line. The Islanders have recalled Devon Toews from Bridgeport (AHL). The Avs wanted more of a sure thing on defense than having to worry about Conor Timmins or Bo Byram slotting into a regular top-6 role for this coming season. The 19-year-old has stepped directly into a starting NHL job and has played relatively sound, mistake-free hockey thus far. “(Plus) a combination of a player going to arbitration with an unknown….Noah Dobson, we feel, is ready to take the next step.”. They never… Johansson should be able to step in and make an immediate impact. Toews was dealt to Colorado for future draft picks after two solid years with New York. The 5 month layoff and then jump right into playoff hockey was not a recipe for goaltender success. As a rookie, Toews recorded 18 points in 48 games, claimed a role on the power play, and held his own defensively in a third pair role. Can get outmuscled in corners but is usually positionally sound. Devon Toews made the most of it! A slick puck-mover with great hockey IQ, Toews is a well-rounded defenseman whose relative inexperience has kept him underrated compared to his actual ability. Toews (no relation to Jonathan) averaged 20 minutes, 30 seconds a game for the Islanders in the regular season, and another 20:31 a night for an Isles team that made the Eastern Conference finals. I still have trepidation about our goalie situation… if they really think the injuries were a fluke and are going to commit to a more rigorous strength and conditioning program we should be okay. One of the most interesting arbitration cases on the schedule this year was Devon Toews, who would have had to sit across the (virtual) table from Colorado Avalanche management that barely knew him. But now that he’s gone the team has to find a … The season is exactly one day old and the Department of Player Safety already has some work to do. The Colorado Avalanche are off to a relatively good start to the season, sitting at 6-3-1 through their first ten games and second in goal differential at +13. October 9: As the Vegas Golden Knights cleared space for the off-season’s biggest free agent signing, it meant letting go of a proven veteran asset. Another big Islander fan who watches every single game: “Offensive-minded defenseman who has some serious wheels. Just when we all thought we could rest for 10 minutes, Joe Sakic went and made another pretty sizable trade again. Maybe the Knights eat a huge chunk of Fleury’s salary to move him. October 10: If Chicago Blackhawks GM Stan Bowman knows one thing, it’s how to make a trade involving Brandon Saad. Saad was traded away to the Colorado Avalanche in a four-player deal, marking the third time in five years that has been traded away or to the Blackhawks. Matt Grzelcyk – Settled, 4 years, $3.69MM AAV, Ilya Mikheyev – Settled, 2 years $1.65MM AAV, Connor Brown – Settled, 3 years, $3.6MM AAV, Tyler Bertuzzi – Player filing: $4.25MM – Team filing: $3.15MM – Awarded: $3.5MM, Linus Ullmark – Settled, 1 year, $2.6MM AAV, Sam Reinhart – Settled, 1 year, $5.2MM AAV, Jake Virtanen* – Settled, 2 years, $2.55MM AAV, Joshua Ho-Sang – Settled, 1 year, $700K AAV (two-way), Devon Toews – Settled, 4 years, $4.1MM AAV In fact, Devon has already established himself as one of the best defencemen in just his second year. Another defenseman was sold off for a late pick the same day and that was Ryan Murray. Though Murray has had immense struggles with health over the years, he had been a good player for the Columbus Blue Jackets when active. The report earlier this week that the Blues are engaging in trade discussions around defenseman Vince Dunn came as a surprise to some but a slow start and eventual cap challenges once Vladimir Tarasenko is cleared to return is certainly among the reasons his name is out there. In a reader chat, Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch posits another idea in that there is potentially a wide divide between what the team feels heâs worth versus what Dunn believes heâs worth. Timmermann draws some parallels to former Blue Joel Edmundson who went year-to-year on his deal as the two sides were just too far apart to find common ground on a long-term agreement. If that is indeed the case, moving Dunn now with three years of team control left after this one would make more sense than what happened with Edmundson who was moved to Carolina last year as salary ballast in the Justin Faulk trade. Sportsbooks still favor Avs to win Stanley Cup. He stands tall at the height of 6 ft 1 in or 185 cm with a balanced bodyweight o 192 lbs or 87 Kg or 13 st 10 lbs. He comes up with Thomas Hickey on IR and could make his NHL debut on Thursday. While he has been decent defensively, he has made some turnovers and blown coverage in the defensive zone with the Islanders. Over the last three years, Toews has 18 goals and 68 assists (86 points) in 130 games. But in a small sample size last season, he was terrific. Colorado Avalanche| Detroit Red Wings| Devon Toews| Jared McIsaac| Schedule| Snapshots, October 12, 2020 at 3:35 pm CDT | by Zach Leach 9 Comments. August 25: In a trade that actually contained six players, the only name of immediate note was Kasperi Kapanen making his return to the Pittsburgh Penguins from the Toronto Maple Leafs. Help fund Adrian's travel! MacKenzie Weegar – Settled, 3 years $3.25MM AAV It’s also not a guarantee. A player who has shown immense scoring potential, including a 72-point season in 2018-19, Domi could be a major difference-maker on the second line for the Blue Jackets, who desperately need scoring depth. "We did give up a good player," one the #Isles were not looking to move. He could be both for the Sens, who will give him a top-four role and let him be the defensively responsible counter to their other younger, more offensively-inclined defenseman, then could look to trade him away before his contract expires at year’s end. This whole situation with the pause and the delayed playoffs added in a whole new dynamic to things and goalies are always susceptible to injury just based on position and flexibility required. Devon Toews, who has looked so good so far playing alongside Cale Makar, isn’t on the trip and could be out long-term with a lower-body injury, Bednar said. But Joe is smart. Shoot the puck and good things happen. Even without much offensive upside, Staal seems locked in for at least a top-four role in Detroit. In his first season with the Islanders he recorded 18 points in 48 games while averaging a little less than 18 minutes a game, but both those numbers ballooned in 2019-20. Going the other way was 22-year-old Luke Kunin, who recorded 31 points in 63 games in just his third pro season this year. Bowen Byram| Colorado Avalanche| Devon Toews| Greg Pateryn| Ian Cole| Jared Bednar, January 29, 2021 at 7:55 pm CDT | by Brian La Rose 4 Comments. Goalies are weird that way, especially with injuries. Zadorov. An expert net front presence and power play asset, Hornqvist will likely play a major role for a Panthers team that lost two of its top scorers to free agency. A player who has now been traded three times in two years, Gudbranson is either in demand or expendable. Toews was drafted 108th overall by the New York Islanders in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. Devon Toews was shipped off to Colorado for a second-round pick in 2021, and 2022. February 2, 2021 at 11:12 am CDT | by Gavin Lee 3 Comments. His play tonight will not change the team’s mind, though. Not too many people outside of New York Islanders fans know much about Devon Toews. A player with a strong all-around game who is respected by teammates and opponents alike, Schmidt is a rare player to come across.
