Can't say I'm too disappointed. It would have been fun but I seriously question how much Brad has left in the tank.

Lebrun on TSN:
"At this moment, trading Casey Mittelstadt is not a priority for the Avalanche. He has 2 years left on his deal after this one, not desperate to move him. Now, the center market is very thin and things could change quickly if a team like New Jersey make an offer worth Colorado's while, but they hold the chips after acquiring Nelson and making the center market even more scarce."

Dallas will have to have a plan to free up the space to fit his cap hit in. Teams will know they are desperate to unload guys too, so they could get bent over.
Gotta think atm, outside of something crazy, the forwards are set. Although I would love for the Avs to grab someone that can score in a reduced role, but could also move up the line up if needed. Just don't think it's necessarily in the cards, Beds loves Kivi and Kelly, so it would be hard to see him remove those 2 from the line up for a new arrival, plus I am all aboard the Landy is returning for playoffs train.
Or maybe Cmac tries to move Colton for an upgrade there, as Colton is probably that winger they have pegged atm as the top 6 replacement incase of injury - Just doubtful something like this is done right now

They have tons of capspace for next year, and retaining 50% for this year should not be a problem.

Love this. Running MacKinnon/Nelson/Mittelstadt/Drury down the middle is stuff dreams are made of. If they can hammer out a trade for Dawson Mercer for Colton, then another depth D, I'm over the moon.
Lehkonen - MacKinnon - Necas
Drouin - Nelson - Nichushkin
Landeskog* - Mittelstadt - Mercer*
Vesey - Drury - LOC
A man can dream, right?
I hope Mikko milks them for every penny he can. There's no reason for him to give any team a discount anymore. If the trade falls through because of that, so be it.

I'm honestly fine with either option of trading Mitts for futures/immediate help OR keeping him and having insane center depth of Mack/Nelson/Mitts/Drury.

You are indeed dreaming if you think Bednar would ever bench Kelly or Kiviranta for Vesey.
He adores Parker Kelly, in particular.

What if Mitts is much worse than the average 3C? Both in effort given and in regular/advanced stats?
Is it still insane depth because it looks good on paper?
Yeah to be honest, I don't understand him..
How do you not join Carolina or Dallas? Top teams.. it's a bit mind-blowing to me.
Money wise they are already offering too much.

He's probably much more likely to succeed at 3C when teams are game planning around MacKinnon and Nelson. Plus with two top six centers now, what the Avs need out of Mittlestadt is much different now.
But again, if the right trade comes along...
No extension = no deal.

They've gone to Craig Button three times so far this morning.
First time... question; "at this moment, what does your Cup final look like?" Answer: Toronto and Winnipeg.
Second time... question; "who do you expect to be aggressive today?" Answer: Toronto and Winnipeg.
Third time... question; "which teams have the most to lose today if they don't make a move?" Answer: Toronto and Winnipeg.
Get this f***ing idiot off my screen.

Yeah way more likely that either Mitts is 4C and that line gets 5-10 minutes a game, or he shifts to the wing.

The f*** are you smoking. The jets have no 2C and the depth is meh at best. Dallas's D is a joke

Cmac is a savvy man. Knew the center market is awful and now has the luxury of getting a good offer for Mitts/Colton. Or just wait to the offseason and recoup assets if needed. I was hoping he did this a week ago, glad he jumped on this opportunity.

The problem isn't this year. Next year, they have to also re-sign Johnston, who has already turned down an $8M per year, Benn, Lundqvist, Bourque, and Duchene for next year. Add in Mikko's $12M deal and you're talking upwards of $36M for those players. The year after that, Robertson, Stankhoven, and Harley need new deals. And I'm not even counting some of their other UFAs that they will have to let walk.
