Yeah they'll "question" that about as hard as they "questioned" Stone's miraculous returns every postseason. Avs have NOTHING to worry about.

Landeskog can’t miss 3 seasons and return for the playoffs. It’s too much of a layoff.
If he’s not ready to play by February/March, that’s a write off for this season IMO.

How does Nuke's caphit go up from regular years of 6.125 to 6.13m this year? I don't believe that for 1 bit, especially when the suspension happened and at season's end, people including media people were saying it was going to be pro-rated, so like 5m.
If he wasn't on the roster and missed 17 games, its 65g/82g x 6.125 = 4.855183m cap hit.

I don’t know what you are saying in the 1st part, but for the second part, that isn’t how cap hits work, at all. Cap hits don’t change at all, period.

He’s also coming back from a surgery no one has ever had after numerous attempts to play. Not sure anyone really complain that much.

Some sites, like capwages, round caphits to two decimal points. Hence, Nichushkin is listed at $6.13m which is simply a rounding of $6.125m.

I wouldn’t really take Mtlfansakic as a source of truth for Avs news on Twitter.
He was literally wrong just 2 days ago about Kahkonen and Winnipeg not being able to assign him to the AHL.
I’d imagine the cap experts the Avs hired among CMac’s merry bound of nerds would’ve known best.

Didn’t Winny assign Kahkonen to the AHL right after the claim?

The NHL has a daily cap, and if you are suspended for an off-ice incident that cap hit does not count towards a team's daily cap IIRC. Since per day Nichushkin has not been on the team's daily cap hit, there's no possible way he's still at 6.125 upon returning.

The problem is the cap really doesn’t care what individual cap hits are, but rather what the total daily cap spending is. If the Avs were healthy and lean, they would have accrued a fair bit of cap space while he was suspended. But that wasn’t the case, they had to spend a fair amount on replacements. Think of it this way, if a team runs a lean cap, they can accrue space and afford to trade for an expensive contract at the deadline. If a team spends to the cap, they can’t do that.

But a player's total daily cap hit is calculated on a per-day basis, which is why teams can often afford players at much higher salary rates than what their publicly stated cap space is come TDL.
Nichushkin's off-ice incident renders that cap hit not applicable to the Avs daily rate until his reinstation at a pro-rated hit.

Correct. But they spent all of that of Klingon, Kaapo, and a bunch of call ups to cover the IR spots. The fundamental issue here is his cap hit never actually changes, it’s just the number of days it’s calculated.

Shittington's 1M salary is something that either needs to be buried, or completely shed at some point before the deadline. Need all the trade space we can get

There is only one Shittington, and he's not playing for us

Serious question, is there a goalie outside the box we could go after? Someone that we haven't discussed to death about.

Are you seriously expecting Uncle Gary to treat the Avs the same way he treats his special golden boys? If so, you haven't been paying attention...
Didn't they 'assign' Kahkonen to the AHL on a conditioning stint? That's different then straight up sending him to the AHL. After that loan, he'll be back to the NHL and the Jets will have to put him on waivers again if they want to send him to the AHL and I believe the Avs will be able to claim him again if they so choose.

We should target Pettersson from Pitt, the D unit is just not good in our own zone, he might help

And it only would have cost Byram!
Difference is Avs might have gotten a small + back, like a 2nd or 3rd round pick. Mitts blows that out of the water.
