I have to have my tools!
Toews is a guy you do cap acrobatics for, especially @$4.1M. You cut elsewhere. Next year they may very well have to move on.

Which is exactly my point. A team with lower standards of success decided that multiple 1st round flameouts weren't acceptable and they made significant changes.
Be nice if this Franchise got with the times, but feelings or whatever

As I said above. The Avs are not up against it. They have 15 million in cap and need to sign a couple forwards and Byram.
No they don't.

The only reason for the Avs to move on from Devon Toews is if his early number is just nowhere near their cap ask and they get a great offer, and decide now is a good time to reload. It's not like a defence built around Makar, Byram and Girard is weak after all.
Which tbh I'd do in their shoes. But I bet they won't.

Yes they do, they only have 14 players under contract. excluding Landeskog

Fischer has never had much individual production or great possession metrics. Apparently not super physical for his size. Feels a bit take it or leave it for me.
How can we get a better back up goalie and another good defensemen and improve our bottom 6, plus afford possibly a decent goal scorer = not possible..

That bottom six is worse than whatever we had last year.

There are some good but low targets.
Nyquist or Tatar are gonna be cheap imo.
Nyquist especially, Really good top9 player who will be underrated in free agency.

Killorn/Duchene/JVR/Patches/Kane/Taraenko/Tatar/Nyquist/Zucker/Bertuzzi/Compher/Bunting.
This wingers UFA class is stacked. We will be able to get one for cheap, all these players are good aswell.

Tatar would be a great get if we just want to make the playoffs and a lousy one if we want to do anything while there.

The backup's probably fine. He was like league average and I'd be surprised if his numbers don't improve with a better blue line in front of him. People just don't realize how much the average has fallen among goalies.
The bottom 6 is all available in free agency. You can get ERod for example and some near league minimum dudes.
We just got a decent goal scorer in Reilly Smith...26 last year.
If they push for Hanifin, they'll get him. If they don't, they won't. Things get more complex if Petry gets traded though.

He had a +63 improvement from one year to the next. That's gotta be close to historic.

I like Nyquist and that’s about it out of these players in terms of what Dubas has said he wants.

Tatar still with 20 goals, 28 assists last year. Only 4 of those 48 points on the PP. +41.
I wonder what the price tag is.

I mean there are others I'm missing. I think Hathaway would be good but he will get heavily overpaid for "toughness"
A better size option would be Sundqvist, decent scorer and versatility. He should be cheap.

Because he forgets how to do that when he's there. 13 points in 52 games.
