Salary Cap: Chris MacFarland - Record as Avalanche GM (Updates In First Post)

[Vaslof]

It's possible he still has one more strong move, but I'm not confident.

3.2M cap space. I would imagine 2C is the target. Mitts going the other way would free up 5.75M more, so the 2C could cost up to 8.95M. Whether there's a player available on the market is another story.

Guess who has a cap hit just slightly lower than 8.95.

There is not

How much then? I just checked Puckpedia and they had updated the trade already so I thought it was correct.

From centers I don't actually know. Was just looking through trade boards to see if there was conveniently someone in the range we had left.

No, that 2C, there isn't an upgrade available unless Crosby waives or Calgary decides they want to swap Kadri for Mitts.

I'll give you a hint, his cap hit matches his number.

CMac's biggest problem at this point is the move he hasn't made. Jared Bednar.

Unless he has a 2C in his back pocket and they are just waiting until the last possible moment to make the deal, I do not see this deadline going well. We've already blown a load on a questionable upgrade at best on the bottom d-pair.

Dude's going to have to be able to pull a rabbit out of a hat in less than a week. Not liking his chances. If he fired Bednar earlier in the season I could be convinced to allow CMac to continue this summer... but at this point, I think I'd like to see a full change. We've already jettisoned a star plyaer (I'm not saying it wasn't the right move)... maybe it's time for management to feel the heat of losing.

Not the Crosby I was looking for.
