Tuhia he haere tonu mō tēnei wāhanga - I te wā o waho, e rua ngā kōwhiringa a Colorado i te rauna tuatahi.

Ko ta rātau kōwhiringa tuatahi, ko te tuarua o te katoa, i kōwhiria e rātau a Gabriel Landeskog, te rangatira taitamariki o Kitchener Rangers o te Rōpū Hockey o Ontario. Tuarua, i whiriwhiria e ratou te kaitautoko a Duncan Siemens 11th katoa, he kowhiringa i riro mai i te St. Louis Blues i roto i te tauhokohoko tautohetohe i tukuna ai e te kaha o te kaha o Chris Stewart, te tumanako nui o te wa roa a Kevin Shattenkirk me te kowhiringa tuarua ki te Blues hei utu mo to raatau kowhiringa tuatahi, veteran Jay McClement me 2006
