Did anyone ask CMac what he's going to do with the cap since he has to make a move to insert both Landy and Nuke in the lineup?
@The Mars Volchenkov ?
One possible plan:
Start the season with Gabe on LITR for the first month until Val is eligible to comeback in November. Then shed Val's contract with a trade or contract termination if he agrees.
A healthy Gabe playing at a decent level would make up for the loss of Val's two way/net front/big goal importance to the team.
And shedding Val's contact, plus another big cap jump in 25-26, could allow them to keep Mikko, Drouin, and perhaps LOC. Not sure on George. That plan is probably very much in the air.
They could also trade Colton as his NTC shifts to a M-NTC and replace him with Ritchie's ELC.
If it plays out like this, the Avs potentially could end up in a good spot cap wise in 25-26, with some extra cash to add a good defenseman and/or goalie, which they may end up needing.
