Denver - Halifax Thanksgiving Day Trade

Denver (AP)

The Denver Spurs have been playing well of late moving them into playoff
contention.
This prompted GM Poelker to meet with Coach Boudreau on Monday and to
consider the press release of Halifax GM Wendt putting a number of
players on the trading block.
An inquiry and offer was made with talks with GM Wendt continuing for
the next several days.

Thanksgiving Day in the U.S. had GM Poelker of Denver and GM Wendt of
Halifax working out a deal.
Coming to the Denver Spurs is center pivot Mathew Barzal and Halifax's
4th rounder in the 2023  entry draft.
Going to the Norsemen are  blueliner blue chip prospect Cal Foote,
winger prospect Luke Evangelista who is scoring at a point per game clip
in the AHL and Denver's 1st rounder in the 2023 entry draft.
On paper it looks like a good trade for both clubs but time will tell.

At press time Coach Boudreau of the Spurs was unsure what the line
shakeup will look like with the addition of Barzal.
Although Coach Boudreau said his playmaking ability gives him a lot of
options on where to insert him in the lineup.
The question is which centerman will see himself relegated to the pressbox?
