The Avs aren’t going to push themselves right to the closest penny of the cap unless a perfect deal falls on their lap somehow. They don’t want to have to play games with 16 skaters again and be stuck in a position where they can’t call anyone up. Looking at Capfriendly and adding Meyers to the active roster it looks like the Avs will have approximately 2.5-3M for their final (23rd) player

I'm betting Stastny at 1x2M is the move.


That would leave them with $1M in space to start the year. By trade deadline that means adding ~$3M without needing to send salary back. Which means come on down Bo Horvat or JT Miller @50% retention hopefully.

Slaf has his C now

 

[hughdreamz]

Have the Avs announced participation in one of those prospect tournaments for this year yet? I could see this being the announcement.

I think this is correct. Nashville tweeted a and also. Baby + trophy = prospect tournament

That works well imo.

7x7 for Kadri until he's 38. Glad that's not us.

 

[HockeyFan100]

Bah. On the Islanders I could wish Kadri well.
On the Flames I want him to fail miserably.
Ah well. C'est la vie.

In Calgary he gets to piss off Oilers fans some more again so that's a win in my book.

7x7M for Naz. Got the

So Lou couldn't pull that off?

Come on down Stastny.

Lost Saad and Donskoi last year. Kadri and Burakovsky this year.

Man this team is deep

 

[5280]

Good for Naz














Now go eat a bags of dicks

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

7M real isn't a bad cap hit for Naz for the next 2-3 years.

Obviously the 7 years is gonna suck but if your Calgary and you win a cup in the next 3 years who tf cares. I think its a fine move by them.


Honestly I bet Colorado would have liked to do that deal themselves as well, but I really dont think it could possibly work with Mackinnon getting $12+ next summer.

But the defence keeps adding

That was apparently always the offer on the table from Lou. You can’t force Naz to take it if he doesn’t want it.

I’m just glad all the “Kadri f***ed up jokes” can end. Guy just got himself 50M in the bank. So happy for him.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Avs obviously lost the ability to give Naz an 8 year deal once July 13th came around but man I would have been quite happy to have signed him to the exact same contract Nuke signed. 8x6.125M is the same money as a 7x7 deal just for one extra year(Where Kadri would certainly be LTIR'd by that point anyway).

$7M spread over 7 years, but I bet he's getting over $9M the next couple years.

I was told I was naive if I thought Lou didn't have this deal inked weeks ago.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Battle of Alberta will continue to be fun. Kadri and Kane hate each other.

Kadri vs McDavid should be fun.

Bah. On the Islanders I could wish Kadri well.
On the Flames I want him to fail miserably.
Ah well. C'est la vie.

Yah I would have preferred him going to the Island. I really hate the Flames.

 

[Ararana]

You're still naive, but for different reasons now.

 

[Ceremony]

I would rather have signed Kadri to that and let Manson go.
