Both just traded, longtime Boston teammates Charlie Coyle and Brandon Carlo sat by each other on the plane ride to Colorado

While GM Don Sweeney may have angered some fans with his trade of captain Brad Marchand, team CEO Charlie Jacobs threw his support behind his hockey operations and the retool/rebuild that Sweeney initiated on Friday with the trades of Marchand, Charlie Coyle and Brandon Carlo.

Coyle admitted his trade to the Avalanche came with mixed emotions, calling the move "bittersweet" in his first media appearance since leaving the Boston Bruins.

Carlo was in the Florida sunshine, convinced he was going to remain a Bruin. The next afternoon, he suited up as a Leaf.

GM Don Sweeney made swift moves at the deadline. His next step is to reinforce the roster around Pastrnak, McAvoy and Swayman.
