Wonder if there is a world where the Avs just throw caution to the wind and just spend Val’s money on Drouin and/or others and just deal with it in Nov if he really does turn it around.
If, and it’s a huge if, he actually does get it right, he is a bargain and an amazing hockey player.
However, the much more likely if, if he is not going turn it around, in Nov he simply won’t be allowed back and the cap hit is not an issue.
I imagine coming out of it, part of his reinstatement will be somewhat regular drug testing and a much tighter leash.
IMO, spend the money. In worse case if he proves it and comes back, move Wood, Colton, ect if you have to.
