The dream of 1for1 with Brady and Moose is long dead.
We should move on to Miko+ for Necas + Drury

Maybe next year without Rantanen would could sign Armia, Greenway, Kuzmenko, and BennettInstead of Rantanen, we could have Jake Guentzel AND Yakov Trenin!
Him and Gibson. Feels like they have been trying to move those guys for years but never pull the trigger.They’re doing this about 2-3 years late.
He could’ve gotten a big return back then.
I would've done it even sooner than that.They’re doing this about 2-3 years late.

I've wondered about this hypothetical base, assuming Nuke is good-to-go and he agrees to waive:
To NYR:
Nuke
Malinski
To COL:
Kakko
Schneider
Not sure it works for the Rags cap-wise but saves us ~1.5M and allows us to trade Girard with another F for an upgrade and/or more cap space.
Probably need to add something else going to the Rags but gives them a big splash they didn't get in the offseason and they have guys to replace Schneider internally. Plus it gives us a Manson replacement.
Might be something that would need to wait until the Trouba situation plays out and maybe impossible because of it, but just a thought.
That trade would slam shut our Cup window. As much as I am mad at Nuke, he has to comeback for us to have any chance.I've wondered about this hypothetical base, assuming Nuke is good-to-go and he agrees to waive:

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.That trade would slam shut our Cup window. As much as I am mad at Nuke, he has to comeback for us to have any chance.
And the return of Rantanen trade. Peterka or Quinn,Ohlund and 1st 2025Instead of Rantanen, we could have Jake Guentzel AND Yakov Trenin!
A 1 year rental is not going to fetch that price, no matter how good Rantanen is lolAnd the return of Rantanen trade. Peterka or Quinn,Ohlund and 1st 2025
Yeah but Rangers will probably want Drouin in that package.I've wondered about this hypothetical base, assuming Nuke is good-to-go and he agrees to waive:

That would be hysterical from the perspective that we'd be clearing all the salary we need to resign JD to his final big contract this summer when he hits UFA. We need to pay this man not only a reasonable rate for what he's providing us, but maybe give him an extra 250K to make up for the discounts he's given us so far.Yeah but Rangers will probably want Drouin in that package.
We can't trust him and the odds that it works are not great, but greater than 0. We have no chance w/o Nuke.Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
It's time to let go. This guy will never play again with the Avalanche or should he.
I am saying that as a huge Nuke fan(incredible player), but we are done. You can't trust him.
I'm not confident about any of it, it's based on assumptions.You’re confident Nichushkin would appeal to NYR given his circumstance?
If Kakko is a Nichushkin replacement, it’s worth noting that Nichushkin was on the 3rd line for 1-2 years before he reached the high level player from the past few years. Kakko might take time too. Don’t hate it but other top 6 players need to stay healthy. It might be too soon to expect a lot from Kakko.
I like the idea of adding Schneider assuming the deal is viable.
There's a few ways to look at this.That trade would slam shut our Cup window. As much as I am mad at Nuke, he has to comeback for us to have any chance.
8 years and 13M and will be a SabresA 1 year rental is not going to fetch that price, no matter how good Rantanen
Ill take Nuke back. AK, hookers and pills. All of it.
Well obviously, but is that deal available even?Would a sign and trade get more value for Rants if he wont sign our offer?
