Drouin actually has north of +$35M of career earnings.

How do you equate giving Rantanen a $3M raise to "losing, LOC + Drouin + Mitts + Lehky"???

The math really isn't that hard. Each of those 4 are / will be underpaid when their UFA year arrives (next year for LOC and Drouin.) With Mikko's raise, there is not room to give either Drouin or LOC even a $1M AAV raise next year. Mitts and Lehky will be impacted by Makar's future raise the season following their UFA year. Even with the cap increases, there will not be room for raises for Mitts and Lehky. Remembeer that both Georgie and Ritchie also expire in this interval as well.

Obviously, any of this depends on the situations with Landy and Nuke. If neither return that generates about $4M AAV after replacement players.

So there are 12 variables involved in this equation, not 2. So its not Rantanen' raise will make us lose 4 players. I'm not saying his raise will not hinder the ability to keep everyone, you are absolutely correct that there will be repercussions. Its the drastic direct correlation of "will lose 4 players" that makes me cringe...

Enjoy this classic Bedsy injury update on Lehky.

He also said he doesn't want to put a date on his return, but doesn't expect him to be a full participant in camp or exhibition. Said his shoulder was pretty bad when they went in and fixed it.

Players can return to play when they are not injured anymore.

It depends on what the definition of injured is.

We have a fairly easy schedule in October so we should be able to get by without Landy, Lehky and Val

So new guys get injured even before playing a single game for the Avs.

Makes sense

Immigration issues with Kyllington apparently, should be good to go tomorrow.

At least we have a completely useless rookie tournament.

Jeez. I know some don't think Pavel would make it anyway, but sucks that he's severely impacted his chances of making the team, by getting hurt during camp two years in a row.

That's when you make your best impression on NHL coaches.
