0:00.0	It's 11 p.m. on February 18th, 2011. The Colorado Avalanche have quietly been burning the
0:06.8	midnight oil working on a blockbuster trade call that would send rookie defenseman Kevin
0:11.9	Chatton Kirk and rising forward Chris Stewart to the St. Louis Blues in return for former
0:17.0	first overall pick Eric Johnson and veteran forward Jay McClement as well as a pick swap
0:22.9	for both teams. They didn't know it at the time and it would take years for this to come to
0:27.7	fruition success for both teams but this would ultimately set both of these teams up to win a
0:32.9	Stanley Cup. This is the Eric Johnson trade tree. There you go. Go check out the EJ Trade Tree
0:42.1	video. You can find it on our YouTube channel right now. It's live. And spoiler alert,
0:49.7	it's a little bigger than what I showed right there. But go check it out. It's a cool little

1:20.6	I'm sure there will be people that lean on the optimistic side, on the pessimistic side,
1:25.5	and we'll do our best to land somewhere in between.
1:27.9	But we'll see exactly how we feel about the next three years as it stands today.
1:31.6	Before we get into that, though, we do have a few news items from today.
1:36.5	Number one, being the abs actually signed a guy.
1:39.1	Yeah, it's a college free agent.
1:41.1	But Alex Gagney gets signed to a two-year deal coming out of New Hampshire
1:45.2	University. He is a left shot, six foot five defenseman, big dude. E, I know you saw him play
