I used to think he might come back, but that guy wants nothing to do with Colorado imo.

He bleeds blue now and not Toronto blue, that nasty blue from St. Louis. The burgundy no longer runs through him.
 
Planning for next year is hard without knowing the Nuke situation.

If he comes back and we trade Girard (5M AAV) for Scheifele (6.1M AAV) then we can easily have a true cup contender team next year. We can bring back eRod and fill the other holes in the lineup fairly easily with Landy's cap hit.

If Nuke doesn't come back or we just don't know then management might not want to go the rental route (as seen this year at the deadline) and things get complicated.

They'd still be playing right now had they listened to us.

Bring back O'Reilly......on a cheap deal, which he won't accept!

I wouldn't mind ROR as our 2C. But, I agree with Avs_19 about ROR not taking a discount of any kind. He will want his $$$$$ no matter if he's past his prime/on the decline or not.
 
Can we just fast forward to October. I can’t wait to see what this team looks like next season. It’s either gonna be good, or really bad
 
We like to go after captains, right? Jenner might now be a useful player to us.

In
Jenner
Schmaltz
Luostarinen
Valimaki

Out
Girard
Newhook
2023&2024 1sts
Olausson

I suspect the Avs already know on Nichushkin, they’re just not saying anything.

Landeskog’s situation was the murkier one to deal with. Know that they know he’s done for next season, it should give them cap clarity.

I’ll be curious to see if they move a defenceman. They may not anymore because they don’t necessarily need to.

I wouldn’t mind seeing them do it though, because I think it offers up even more cap flexibility to improve the forward group.

Honestly they still need to move a Dman realistically.


Sure Landy being on LTRI does technically free up $7M in space... But we also lose a 1st line winger out of it that now needs to be replaced as well. So it doesn't really add much more flexibility.

It allows the Avs to move that salary around… but dollar for dollar it is tough to replace the impact.

I’m looking at this more as, how can they improve from this season. Landeksog didn’t play, so getting a player with that money is a significant upgrade, even if the player isn’t quite as good.

Yeah, I’d prefer to see them still move a defenceman. I would like to find a long term 2C and the defenceman should move in that deal. They’d actually have a decent amount of space left over too, if they went that route.
