0:00.0	Welcome in the D&BR Avalanche podcast, presented by Bet365.
0:16.6	We are at the end of the year, the holiday season, all of that good stuff,
0:20.3	and we thought it would be a good time to look back and kind of celebrate the best of the DNVR Avalanche at
0:25.2	this time with a bunch of our favorite moments and highlights and clips and all of that good
0:30.0	stuff from the year that was.
0:32.4	We're starting off with the avalanche timeline, from the big trades they made to the small
0:36.3	moves and how Colorado was built, and a little bit of the moves trades they made to the small moves and how Colorado
0:37.6	was built and a little bit of the moves that we made here at DNVR to add to the podcast.
0:43.0	So let's roll the footage.
0:44.4	Well, what was going to be a nice, relaxing, easy evening is now actual madness for the Colorado
0:52.1	avalanche.
0:53.0	The avalanche had traded Miko ranted into the Carolina
0:55.8	Hurricanes and a deal that seems like it has a million parts. I don't want to confirm anything
1:01.5	for 100% sure yet, but the things we're more confident on so far is it sounds like Martin
1:07.6	Nettches is coming back to Colorado. Miko is part of a three-team deal where Chicago is retaining half of his salary and then sending him to Carolina. And Chicago is also sending Taylor Hall to Carolina. There are other parts. We're not a 100% sure what they are. It sounded like it was going to be caught Kniemi to the abs. Now it sounds like it might be Jack Dury. Both of those things may be false. We genuinely don't know yet. No, I'll tell you what, man. This is a hell of a way to inspire Nathan McKinnon to shoot again on the power play. No kidding. They say, you're not going to do it. We're going to take your Miko away from you. That is a power move, my guy. That is a power move. Who's going to shoot now, Nathan?
1:45.1	Yeah. Miko away from you. That is a power move, my guy. That is a power move.
1:47.3	Who's going to shoot now, Nathan?
1:48.7	Yeah, exactly.
1:50.2	It's got to be you, fella.
1:53.9	Oh, God, it's, if this is really the end of it, man, I hate it.
1:59.6	If the abs traded Miko Ranton in for Martin Etches and Jack Dury and nothing else,
2:01.4	that's really dis... Unless they have a follow-up trade in the chamber that is a banger, that's tough for me.
