[Avs9296]

Mitts has got to be gone before the deadline too.

Mitts for a RD

 

[wayninja]

Huge price but I'm happy we did it. MittelJost was not it.

WTF do we do with mittlejost?

 

[Balthazar]

I don't ever want to see a single one of you say that Cmac doesn't win bidding wars ever again

He sure won that one

No wonder Lou pulled the trigger tonight, I bet no one else came close to that offer.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Do we re-sign Nelson?

 

[The Pwnerer]

Time to trade Mittlestat to recoup assets. Smart gming Cmac, glad he made the move tonight. He has all day tomorrow to move Mittleshit.

 

[dahrougem2]

Is that the rest of the cap? Do we even want to re-sign him at that age?

No, they still have space. NYI retaining plus Avs sending out Kylington means they only spent ~ 2M of it

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

No need to trade Mittelstadt. Depth down the middle is what you want.

Mack
Nelson
Mitts
Drury

Holy f***, 6 point night for the great 8!

 

[Arto Kilponen]

People are making it sound like paying 20th+ pick was a big price. Now Colorado at least got a relevant player unlike in that deal with Rangers. 3rd for Dufour is fine.

Kylington wasn't that special, now there's a chance that Lindgren actually becomes relevant.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Wonder if they have a deal lined up involving Mittelstadt

 

[Mighty Makar]

WTF do we do with mittlejost?

Send him to the Philippines.

 

[Pacman33]

Yea this is why i hoped they would stand pat smh. Thats crazy for a rental

Avs fans: "We need to be all-in. Have to get a 2C at any cost."

CMac lands literally the #1 center on the market without giving up anything from the pro roster.

Also Avs fans: "That's too much! WTF overpayment!"

 

[hockeyfish]

Also, f***ing love making a massive trade mid game. Brings me back to to the fun that was Duchene.

 

[EdAVSfan]

Is that the rest of the cap? Do we even want to re-sign him at that age?

Only used 2M of the cap. Still have like 1.4 million left. Plus this also opens up the possibility of moving Mitts.

 

[Freaky Styley]

Interested to see what happens with Mitts.

Maybe they move him tomorrow. Maybe they move him at the draft and re-sign Nelson.

If we were going to get Nelson it was always going to cost Ritchie + 1st. I'm not as bent out of shape about losing Ritchie to fill and obvious hole, even if it's in the short term. If Nelson walks, we go into next season with the same C depth we thought we were about to enter the playoffs with.

I thought the Ritchie pick should have been traded before we used it, and I'm not as high on him as some I don't think.

 

[Chibby]

Love this trade. Avs want it. If Ritchie pans out, good for Isles. Best o luck.

This but unironically

 

[bleuetbio]

I realy hate it! Damm Ritchie was our long term solution. This is sabotage.

 

[yessir29292]

Steep price but they need to go all in during Mackinnon and Makar's prime years

A guy like Ritchie at cost control who will be ready to contribute next year could be so valuable

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Is that the rest of the cap? Do we even want to re-sign him at that age?

I would. Not long term obviously but 2-3 year at ~$6M I'd do for sure.

 

[Freaky Styley]

Mitts + Wood (+other things)

For

Marchand + Carlo now. then get a depth F for cheap

Story of these boards.

The AVS still have plenty of pieces to recoup assets.

Colton, Mitts and Manson can all recoup lots of assets in the offseason.

 

[Balthazar]

I like that we have him this year but he's older than Kadri was when we let him walk.

What kind of contract is he looking for?

Statistically he has 2 maybe 3 good years left in the tank, if he wants 5-6 year term and paid like a 35 goal guy we gotta let him walk.

 

[famicommander]

Hell yes. All-in, let's get this damn Cup.

 

[ASmileyFace]

This is all in. Whole farm + for this year. Cup or bust.
