So in the event the cap is only 92.4M next season and the Avs re-sign Mikko for 12.5M, it would already have them at 1.1M over the cap with:
Lehkonen - MacKinnon - Rantanen
Colton - Mittelstadt - Nichushkin
Wood - Ritchie - O'Connor
Ivan - Kelly - XXX
Toews - Makar
Girard - Manson
Behrens - XXX
Blackwood
Wedgewood
Some notes:
- This is with no extras lol
- Assuming Gabriel Landeskog does not return they would have roughly 5.9M to find a couple of bottom six forwards and a couple of 5/6/7 style defensemen which I do not believe is difficult.
- Landeskog not returning IMO means no Colton or Manson trade
- IF Landeskog does return, I believe we see both of those players moved and potentially also Miles Wood
- I don't know if there's any way to bring Jonathan Drouin back regardless of Landeskog returning or not
Just some observations/thoughts:
- Did Malinski die?

- I expect Kiviranta to be extended. TMV already hinted at it. Both sides are talking.
- Behrens is missing the entire AHL season, no chance he's ready to play for the Avs next year.
