Rumor: 2020-21 Trade Rumours and FA Part VIII: Intra-Playoff Edition?

Couturier would be a great fit with the Avs but he's gonna cost a pretty penny to re-sign after being paid peanuts all these years at $4.333M.

He should be a lesson to all young players. If you're going to go along with the team and sign a bridge deal, don't do them another favor by signing a long term deal a year early.

He'll turn 30 the first year of his next deal. If he was gonna sign for that cheap he shouldn't have given up any UFA years. Probably cost himself $10M or so.

I think the Flyers are more likely to go the other way and be in the Jones mix than trade their best player and 1C for futures.

The issue there I think is what Danault wants. He sees Suzuki and Kotka surrounding him.

Frankly that’s a perfect situation for him. He gets to be a checking center and top line center at the same time. There’s nowhere else he’ll be a better fit. Obviously they want Kotkaniemi and Suzuki to play bigger roles as they develop but I’m not sure they can.

I’d agree from the outside it probably is. I think he wants a different role though.

I know it's probably just media posturing but weren't there reports earlier that said Danualt doesn't care what his role will be with Montreal so long as they pay him what he feels he's worth?

From what I remember he wanted to be put in more offensive situations. Aka I think he wants a legit 2C role

Ah yes you're right, just found the article now and in 2020 he was asked if his potential role on the team would affect his decision to re-sign in Montreal and he said "yes."

So yeah, I think he's gone. No way Montreal wants to block the road for Suzuki/Kotkaniemi to play 1/2 on that team.

I’d bump Kadri to 3C and bring Danault here in a nanosecond.
 
Soda was probably the best of our deadline acquisitions, but ya, none of them look good in hindsight especially.



I think part of the issue was just that the Avs didn't have a tone of assets to use at the deadline.

We didn't have a 2nd rounder for either of the next two drafts, didn't have a lot in the way of quality prospects(Still don't). Our biggest trade chip was probably the first rounder and I think we can all agree here that if we has given up our 1st for just Foligno we would be especially pissed off about that right now.

Joe did and always does his big shopping in the summer, which is definitely the right move as it is much easier to acquire good players and usually for a touch cheaper. Like getting Toews for 2 2nds and getting Saad for literally nothing.


Anyway, best of luck to Soda in the future. I always appreciated how he and Bednar managed to turn such a seemingly terrible relationship in that first year around as much as they did. Seems like a genuinely good guy.

Alright so did some cap crunching and here it is: Avs certified offseason to guarantee a cup next year:

- Trade Sam Girard + JT Compher + Martin Kaut for Seth Jones. Kaut is the cost for dumping JTC in the deal. Avs then sign Seth Jones to a 7 year/56M extension.

- Ryan Graves is selected by Seattle in the expansion draft.

- At the draft, Avs trade 2021 1st + Connor Timmins + to Philly for Sean Couturier

- Avs sign Gabriel Landeskog to a 7 Year, 50M extension. 7.14M cap hit

- Avs sign Cale Makar to an 8 Year, 75M extension. 9.375M cap hit.

- Avs sign Philip Grubauer to a 5 Year, 26M extension. Personally dont love the idea of 5 years, think 3-4 would be better. But in order to keep the aav in the 5 range and not 6, the Avs go the 5 years. 5.20M cap hit.

- Avs sign Tyson Jost to a 2 Year, 2.2M contract. 1.1 aav.


Landeskog - Mackinnon - Rantanen
Burakovsky - Couturier - Newhook
Donskoi - Kadri - Nichushkin
O'Connor - Jost - Ranta

Toews - Makar
Byram - Jones
MacDonald - ???

Grubauer
Francouz
Johanson


That roster would come in at 74.175M.

Which would also mean one of two things. Either the Avs could actually keep Erik Johnson as the 3rd pairing RHD, meaning with his 6M cap hit we'd hit 80.175M leaving us just enough space for one more league minimum contract as an extra forward or Dman. Or, if the Avs buy out EJ, he carries a 2.0M cap hit for the next 4 years. Which would then mean we'd have a 76.175M cap hit for next year leaving us with roughly ~3M to spend on a 3rd pairing RHD, and another 1.8M or so to spend on a pair of extra skater(7th D and 13th forward) to fill out the roster.

That is beautiful !
If we could keep Saad at the expense of Donk or Kadri I'd do it.

What teams could potentially have interest in Kadri?

Pittsburgh would be my team to watch for Kadri, Burke loves Kadri and wants to add to Pittsburgh’s snarl. Kadri wasn’t that guy this year but Burke will still think he is.

So Kadri and Sid as the basis of a deal? I like it!
:laugh:
I trust Sakic to get a 2C if Kadri is traded, though. Unless we're talking TDL. Then that trust goes waaaaaaaaaaay down.
 
All the talk about getting Danault for 2 C, yes he's very good defensively, but the guy doesn't have much offense. He's more of a 3 C. I wouldn't mind having him replace Jost or JTC on 3rd line, but you need someone more offensive on 2 C
