How come CMac’s post free agent presser is not available on the Avs site? Where can I find it?

Everybody assume Colton's contract is holding up the other moves but maybe it is the other way around. Maybe CMac is being very patient to make his last moves to save as much as he can on those so he can give Colton what he is asking for. I think that would explain why Colton elected for arbitration. He had to as security until the other moves are done.

I was wondering the same. I wanted to hear his comments about MacK joining the scouting staff for stump for Drouin lol.

I was just about to ask whether he'd done one yet? When did he do one? I never saw it.

He did one on July 1st or 2nd after he made all the moves I think

This whole time I thought he hadn't done one, which meant they might still be in the hunt for good UFA's.
I really don't understand the Avs website and their apathy towards uploading these videos. They just never upload press conferences all the time.
They never uploaded the presser with Joe and MacKinnon on the golf course when he signed his big deal. There's been other examples as well. How you not gonna upload the presser for your star franchise player signing to become the highest paid player in the NHL? So weird.
He definitely did one, but apparently whosever in charge of releasing the press conference video can't be bothered.

Avs team coverage is the worst

To be fair, in his presser, he did indicate that they were still looking at depth and monitoring other deals. This was on July 1st in the evening.
They the signed Cogliano and JJ afterwards.
But the Avs have space for at least 1, probably 2 more moves. It all depends how much buffer they want to leave themselves during the season.
I<ve asked, but I'm not sure what the Avs need to be careful of with respect to LTIR, as in, how close can they get without risking issues during the season due to injuries, etc.

He did a brief one after the playoffs, when he joined the video call after Gabe's announcement that he'd be having surgery.

Arbitration is such a nothing burger. It's essentially a set completion date for the contract.

If Tarasenko is firing his agent he’s not settling for a one year $3M contract in Colorado.

I'm not sure Drury is dealing from a position of strength at all. If they loved him and he was awesome they wouldn't be moving him at all.
So IF the report is true and he is available - it's unlikely that he's going to get full value for him.
Maybe the agent was blocking him from doing so

Tarasenko has openly complained about not being named captain, has gotten mad at teammates for calling him “tank” because he takes it as a fat insecurity, has slowed down considerably, is one of the worst defensive forwards in the league and fired his agent a few days into free agency because he doesn’t like the dollar values he’s been offered despite having already made like 70M in his career.
He seems like as opposite a fit as there could possibly be in Colorado.

I'm watching videos on Andreas Johnsson, and now I think he'd be a great pickup. Might have some familiarity with Miles as well.
I'm ready for Colton's contract to be done with.

He stated in an interview dating back 2015 that he doesn't like it because of its connection to war and the way his grandparents went through WW2. Probably would not like it today either. I think he made it clear early on with the Rangers that he would prefer Vladdy or something like that.
I would like Tarasenko here, but I doubt we can make it work. He's not signing for league minimum, at least not in Colorado.
What about if Zadina is bought out a minimum contract paid all up front as a signing bonus. If it works great. If not they can terminate the contract and he can go to Europe while still getting two paydays for the year.

Johnsson is probably going to be a PTO player. He spent almost all year in the AHL for the Devils, then when he got an NHL chance with SJ broke something (his foot I think?).
I could be wrong, but I don't think we'll hear news on him until closer to training camp. As a 3RW, Colorado needs to aim higher because of how up and down Johnsson has been over the last few seasons.

I think the Avs are going to be in on RFAs that other teams maybe can't or don't want to sign and they'll swoop in with a trade.
They really need to make sure that they get a player that can fill-in on the Top-6 if Drouin doesn't work out or in case of injuries. Sort of the way Rodrigues was used last season.

Avs are probably done right now until the trade deadline. They have a good enough roster right now to be on top of division at least top 3 or top 2, then they’ll make final roster moves at the deadline as they’ll get an idea what else they need until March.

That’s a strong enough roster to go until the deadline without having to worry about them falling out of playoffs or anything, but I’m sure they’ll add couple of more pieces in March

Id be willing to bet that the Avs make at least 1, maybe 2 more pickups. Whether that's direct signings, PTOs, whatever. They're gonna add 1 or 2 more NHL bodies to withstand injuries, have depth, etc.
