AJ said they had no retention slot left on the podcast earlier...I assumed it was true!Hawks have only used 2 of the 3 retention slots right? Mikko and McCabe?

considering Carolina still have to sign several guys and has a bit more than 11M space, if CMac still wants a C added, Id go after Drury's cousin Jack Drury. no idea what Carolina would ask for him though.
otherwise CMac should be all over Sprong. pretty much only serviceable middle sixer still in the market. and should be able to be signed under 3.5M.
Carolina is bland but they know it. The Guentzel move was an attempt to get more dynamic scoring.
Honestly, they should be front of the line when the Miko trade discussions open
Willed it into existence. Classic avs fans calling trades before they happen.Not surprised. Great value for pending UFA Mikko. Rather this than nothing. I've been saying this is the return for months now.

Drury + Necas for Mikko.. make it happenCarolina is bland but they know it. The Guentzel move was an attempt to get more dynamic scoring.

Necas and Drury for Mikko E4
Mikko for Necas and Drury, do it #speedThe dream of 1for1 with Brady and Moose is long dead.
We should move on to Miko+ for Necas + DruryRantanen (with extension) + Colton + Rangers 2nd for Necas + Drury + Nikishin

Legendary post. This is Chewey calling MBP for EJ Johnson trade decades back.Not surprised. Great value for pending UFA Mikko. Rather this than nothing. I've been saying this is the return for months now.

Mikko is nowhere near in the condition Mack isWhen else does the team do physicals? And what else is a better indicator, than how seriously one has done summer training? And yes, Mikko has topped the team basically every year. Even with Landy and Nuke.
For the record, while a lot of people know me as this huge Mikko shill and I'm not shying away from the fact that he's my favourite player, I've never been of the mind that the Avs must re-sign him no matter what the cost, or that the Avs shouldn't explore trading him away.
I just don't really see trading him away being a realistic way to improve the team.
I wonder if all the Chicago stuff was Plan B in case that Carolina was going to take the Canucks offer.Friedman just said on NHL Network that Avs are NOT done yet, but did not say anything more than that. No word on players, time line, etc.
I'm most interested in what they're cooking for next summer now. Again, I think the cap is about to explode. I get why the Avs felt they couldn't do Mikko at $14M, but with a $95M cap they honestly probably could have made it work... As it stands we're gonna be looking at something like:
Lehky(4.5) - Mack(12.6) - Mik...Necas(6.5)
???? - Mitts(5.75) - Nuke(6.125)
Wood(2.5) - Colton(4.0) - LOC(2.5)
Kelly(0.8) - Drury(1.7) - Kivi(1.0)
Ivan(0.9)
Toews(7.25) - Makar(9.0)
Girard(5.0) - Manson(4.5)
???? - ????
Blackwood(5.25)
Wedgewood(1.5)
That group only comes in at $81.375M. That's presumably over $13M, almost $14M in space to fill in 3-4 roster spots.
I'd almost guarantee Drouin is back now, probably 3-4 years for $3-4M. I also really feel like this is a situation where Landy's return is no longer a matter of "If" he returns, but a matter of exactly "When" he's going to return.

I still think there's a very real chance Jones is going to get traded here. Only way to explain the Hawks helping facilitate this deal and scouting us for 5 straight games.Friedman just said on NHL Network that Avs are NOT done yet, but did not say anything more than that. No word on players, time line, etc.
Here’s the plan:
Get Necas extended ASAP on July 1st.
Do not go into next season with this bullshit again.

He looks a bit past of it. :/It’s going to be Marchand
