Are Nelson and Coyle rentals?

We were his first choice, he could have pushed to go to Minnesota now if he really wanted to, but he didn't.

If the rest of this year and playoffs goes like the first game. I bet they offer 6 years taking him to 40 trying to get the AAV to 6M. We already know he wants 5 years.

Three years from now good 3rd line centers are going to cost 6M.

Do we know he wants 5 years, or just more than the 3 he was offered from Isles (3×7.5)?

It's possible he's okay with 3 years and just didn't like the direction NYI were obviously heading

Could be. Also, 4 is a number between 3 and 5

It was reported he wanted 4/5 years so I think the Avs could sign him for 7.5M/4yrs or maybe 6.5M/5yrs. It will depend how happy/successful he is here. His first game was a good start towards that.

I personally really hope they pony up anything they need to for Bennett at 2C

Yeah, I thought it was 4 they offered. The reason he gave was wanting more term, but it could be just as much wanting to be on a contender.

I no longer care about term, get it done cmac. As long as AVV is under 7.
