Chris Johnston on the other hand has Nichushkin as the most likely to come back .

I just realized how Nuke and Lehks had very similar playoff stats:
Nuke: 20 games: 9G 6A 15PTS
Lehks: 20 games: 8G 6A 14PTS
Nuke: 20 games: 9G 6A 15PTS
Lehks: 20 games: 8G 6A 14PTS

I went with a buddy to an Eagles game in Windsor about 4 years ago to check out Dries but noticed O’Connor instead. LOC made it to the Avs soon after. We got the right guy then based on the eye test.

So really.. nobody knows
If I were a betting man I'd say one of Kadri/Nuke are back for sure, and 50/50 Manson.

Just dicked around on CapFriendly and have no idea what to do this off-season. But these are the musts:
1. Re-sign Nuke
2. Decide between riding with Darcy and securing a real solution (Ulmark, Knight, or YOLO Hellebuyck-like trade)
3. 2C
Biggest questions:
1. Could Newhook replace Kadri? Or should we trade him for a 2C replacement (Schiefele?)
2. Did the Avs sneak by with Darcy or can he back up the way again until there’s a longer term solution?
Personal wants:
1. Poolparty. Dude could be the next Nuke. A line up with him, Nuke, and Lehkonen could be the greatest forechecking line up ever.
2. Calvin DeHaan. A cheaper Manson replacement. Give him the Murray $2mx1 contract.

I would love it if it worked that way, but I don't think it does. All players want to get paid during the limited time they have in the league. And just last summer the preseason Cup favorites (us) had an open slot for a starting goalie and what happened was that we were the odd man out in goalie musical chairs and we had to give up significant assets for one year of Kuemper. I think management needs to have a clear Plan A and Plan B in the goalie market so we're not wasting trade capital or draft capital again.
If Nichushkin re-signs I'm buying a Nuke jersey for sure
I`d throw Girard + futures at Nashville for Granlund and see if it sticks. Granlund has 5M caphit for 3 more yrs and is 30. Good 2-way 2C. Nashville will probably loose Forsberg and will probably not be playoffbound.

He did have 64p in Nashville last season. I think he would look good on Avs 2nd as he is a pass-first guy
Landy - MacKinnon - Nichuskin
Lehks - Granlund - Rantanen
64p center in Nashville would be way more on Avs. Kadri will demand a lot more and so will guys like Trocheck etc. At 5M a 1B/2A center is a bargain. A 2-way C more so

In the event guys like Kadri, Burakovsky, Manson, Kuemper, etc are going to walk as UFAs I hope that Sakic is doing all he can to trade their rights to teams that are interested and believe they can sign the player(s) before free agency begins.
A team like Philadelphia might be stupid enough to send a 5th our way for Kadri's rights for example to ensure they can sign him before he hits the market.

maybe I'm crazy but trading Rantanen for New Jersey's 2nd pick, Zacha and Foote or Holtz would allow us to sign Forsberg and get 2 top prospects.or something like that with another top 5 team in draft ranking.
or with Ottawa 7OA , Brown, Greig and Forsberg(goalie) something original and little crazy like that.

Why on earth are we the team adding futures for a 30 year old Center that scored 11 goals last year, and two years ago was on his way out of the league entirely?
Fun to speculate on deals but this year feels like almost no outside signings and the team works quickly to see who they can keep. Then a few signings like Helm that we don't understand but probably work out. I don't see trades of guys with term, really hard to see Sammy moving unless someone blows them away with an offer. Yeah losing Kadri would suck but there isn't anyone out there you'd expect 87 points out of anyways, including Naz. Even if the team isn't as good they had a lot of excess value out there, they could have won with less. I think they know that and will be willing to use what they have and sign a few more cheap vets hoping they get a year out of them. Then at TDL fill holes but less so because the assets are mostly gone.

Or we keep Rantanen, don't overpay for an injury prone, only topped 70 points once Filip Forsberg and don't ruin the core of this team.
He was never on his way out of the league. Its not like you offer a 5M contract to a guy like that. He had a down year when his unborn died after beeing traded...
You do know that assists create goals? For 64p on Nashville, you can expect a rise in Colorado. It`s not like Avs are lacking shooters and Granlund is a very good passer. Futures doesnt always mean high picks...

Now the REAL action can begin!
At what point do you let Frankie be the starter? Simple: you don't. He's a backup, that's it.

Can there be more bad news in one post? How do I dislike a post?
I'm not sold on Manson going back to Anaheim, or at least it not being a foregone conclusion.
Anaheim's GM has been pretty adamant about not giving long-term deals to players that don't fit their core so the most I can see is a 3-4 year contract. Manson seems like the type of guy that doesn't like change that much, so I'd still put Colorado right up there with Anaheim for frontrunners to re-sign him. All depends on how much salary Manson is willing to leave on the table to sign back with the Avs or Ducks.
Please go to the nearest mental hospital and repeat that statement to the front desk.
Hell he even asked not to be paroled from prison.
Wait, wrong Manson.
