He's also got a M-NTC they kicked in tomorrow. 9 team.Maybe they’re looking to trade G?
So who's going to be the next Drouin? Under 1m?

They need to shave off money somewhere and 4M for a mediocre 3C isn't a bargainThe avs aren’t picking Colton over Drouin. They play different positions on the team.
You need a 3C replacement for Colton
Less of a concern, but I doubt he has much of a trade market.He's also got a M-NTC they kicked in tomorrow. 9 team.

Kind of a weird way to look at things, imo.It's really disappointing that they couldn't figure out something to get Drouin signed. Sick of watching talented players walk in favor of less talented guys. Started with picking G over Kadri, and now it's Colton over Drouin. Just frustrating.
Obviously Drouin isn't a goner yet, but it's not looking good. Hoping something gets done quickly here, but not holding my breath at this point.
It’s average 3C money for an average 3C…if we paid less than that we’re getting a size worse player.They need to shave off money somewhere and 4M for a mediocre 3C isn't a bargain
I guess it's not a bargain for other teams either which is part of the issue

It's easier to find dumb as bricks players than it is players with extremely high hockey IQIt’s average 3C money for an average 3C…if we paid less than that we’re getting a size worse player.
It’s cheaper to find/acquire top 6 wingers than middle-6 C’s
I know people keep harping on average 3C.It’s average 3C money for an average 3C…if we paid less than that we’re getting a size worse player.

Jesus ChristIt’s not about it being a bargain or not.
If you’re moving out Colton, you either need to get a better 3C or a cheaper one. I don’t think the Avs love the idea of getting an inferior player. Trying to find a cost friendly quality 3C probably isn’t that cheap or easy.
This isn’t a Drouin vs Colton debate. Its a matter of whether the Avs can get their hands on a quality replacement first.
Push comes to shove, would you waive Colton just to re-sign Drouin?Jesus Christ
It's not about replacing Colton, it's about finding money to keep Drouin.
They'd replace Colton with a cheap bottom 6 center who'd be a downgrade but not a massive one since Colton isn't a good 3C. The only big loss here is losing Drouin for nothing. This is a significantly bigger loss than whatever 3C downgrade we'd have.
If I knew that a team would pick him up yes I would. At this point I value 4M of cap space higher than I value Ross Colton.Push comes to shove, would you waive Colton just to re-sign Drouin?
I probably would

BriseBois wins the offseason so far
