That makes 0 sense, why would Seattle take both EJ when he waives his NMC and Donskoi.

just a dump trade

well they wont "dump trade" Erik Johnson

Not sure why Seattle does that when they could just take Devon Toews

I mean odds are they ask Johnson to waive, or else he gets bought out before the draft. They're not going to let toews go after the season he's had

Colorado fans seem split on this.
I would agree that Avs should buy EJ out before losing Toews.
Others said they should keep him and play him if healthy.

Buying him out is only if he doesn't waive for the XD.

Yes of course.
He would need to amend his contract on NMC by July 16.
Protection lists are due the very next day, July 17.
So we will know by then (4 days before expansion draft).

Yeah especially if we lose graves to the x draft it would be nice to have him back in the line up, but i think the team has gotten used to playing without him, he's been injured more than he's played the last 3 years so it is kind of a wash if he's bought out
