Interesting. That's a good signing of course but that number makes it hard to ice a 21 man roster so perhaps there's still another cap move coming, either now or in November.
If you told me the day the season ended that the Avs could sign Mitts and Drouin for a combined $10M I'd have jumped for joy.So we’re paying 8 mill total for Mitts and Drouin. That’s some good piece of business by CMac
I truly hate to rain on this Drouin lovefest, but the 300# gorilla in the room is the 25-26 season.Trade Moose, keep Drouin.
There’s always a way. Prices for trade solutions may rise as the situation progresses, but that’s the price you pay to extend the window.I truly hate to rain on this Drouin lovefest, but the 300# gorilla in the room is the 25-26 season.
1) Mikko is going to want the bag. ( + $3M to $4.5M)
2) Assuming Georgie is not assassinated by someone here, either he or his replacement is going to want more than $3.25M (+$1.75)
3) LOC is a massive value at $1.05M. At minimum, he should get the Wood contract (+1.45M)
4) Oh, yeah, Drouin again. (+ $2.0)
That is $9.7M without taking Kovalenko into consideration. Or the fact that Nuke might not be gone, HF desires notwithstanding. The NHL estimates the cap at $92M. Assuming Landy laces them up this seaosn or next, I see no way to keep the window open aside from letting Mikko walk. As others have noted, Mikko is our rental for this cup run, as far as I am concerned.
Unless CMac has one more bullet left in the trade gun.
I guess this is as good a place as any to point out that Trenin just got 4 x $3.5M
Meh, cross that bridge when we get to it. For all we know Nichushkin will be gone or Landeskog will have retired by then.I truly hate to rain on this Drouin lovefest, but the 300# gorilla in the room is the 25-26 season.

What does next year's cap issues have to do with this year's one year bargain deal for Drouin?I truly hate to rain on this Drouin lovefest, but the 300# gorilla in the room is the 25-26 season.

Shades of Selanne buying Kariya a car for taking a discount to come over. What a wasted year that was lmaoMack probably paying him the extra few million.
Is this a real question?What does next year's cap issues have to do with this year's one year bargain deal for Drouin?
Aw how disappointing; the "lynch CMac" mob you guys were cooking up yesterday looked like it was gonna be epic and I was just getting read to join
Naw...but I wouldn't mind slapping that A Mikko has been wearing on Drouin's chest.Trade Moose, keep Drouin.
I don't think he will wear an A once Landeskog returns. It likely is MacKinnon and MakarNaw...but I wouldn't mind slapping that A Mikko has been wearing on Drouin's chest.
I'm just tickled pink. I always thought the Avs would get it done, but thought the number would be 3-3.5M. I'm sure JD had a bigger number in his heart but anyone with internet access can see the Avs cap situation (until the 3rd when capfriendly goes dark) and I think he made a choice to sacrifice money for happiness. Doing a one year deal is risky, but he's already bet on himself once, and he's willing to do it again. I'm really, really starting to admire JD.
When can the Avs extend him? Is it Jan 1?
