8x11.4 and Nate's going to pay 600k under the table, they'll both be at 12..
Rants is in the brumby mode in summerIf Rants was truly dedicated he'd be running practices now in Denver.
This is my guess, too, but I’m hoping somewhere around $11M.He's going to sign 8 X 12M for 96M. That's his number, that's slightly below Mack, that's what makes sense.
I have great respect for nearly all of your contributions. This one, though, is not one with which I can agree. Giving Mikko $12M effectively closes the window. That would consume the entirety of the cap increase. That means no money for Drouin and LOC, who are UFA after this season. It means another $3M goalie, and that has not worked all that well. And if, for some reason, both Landy and Nuke are on the roster Wood ( or perhaps even Colton) would have to go.He's going to sign 8 X 12M for 96M. That's his number, that's slightly below Mack, that's what makes sense.
I've thought this as well. Would be pretty fair value for him, that's slightly below Pastrnak % wise (12.9% vs 13.47%) if the cap is around 93M 25-26. If the number is around that, we should be happy with it. That is, if you are ok with re-signing him. But that's pretty obviously going to happen, the Avs want Mikko and Mikko wants them.He's going to sign 8 X 12M for 96M. That's his number, that's slightly below Mack, that's what makes sense.
Is there any presedent for a 4 time eff up that doesnt get kicked out of the league?I have great respect for nearly all of your contributions. This one, though, is not one with which I can agree.

All that said, if CMac knows that Landy really isn't coming back, that makes some room. I know we all want to get rid of Nuke, but nobody is going to do the Avs any favors and all the scenarios assuming that Nuke's next F-up means he is gone are little but hallucinogenic dreams. Another screw-up merely extends the cap space limbo by another 12 months.
Remember, too, that if Landy goes LTIRetire, that means that the Avs can't accrue cap space for the next 5 trade deadlines. I simply do not see a scenario wherein Mikko makes $12M and the Avs make it out of the 2nd round after this season (and perhaps not even this season.)
We have no knowledge of any player getting kicked out of the league. We also have no confirmation of any other player reaching that level to be reinstated. Grant Fuhr was reinstated after being suspended for drug use in the early 90s (it was a 5 month ban IIRC)... but that was prior to the PAP.Is there any presedent for a 4 time eff up that doesnt get kicked out of the league?

By the spirit of the program, if he holds to the conditions, it would be hard to not reinstate... at least without a major issue between the NHLPA and NHL.
Correction: Fuhr's ban was for one year without pay and reduced to 5 months... where he had to be reinstated. Again prior to PAP, but some precedent for a return after a long ban.
True.As far as Nuke is concerned, as a fan, all I care about is this season. The window is all but closed once Mikko's deal kicks in.
Coaching staff certainly had a role to play, but I think the Avs were also just quite a bit behind Dallas. If Otter doesn't meltdown in game 1, they probably sweep the series... and when we look at all the 2nd, 3rd, and the Finals, it was one the most lopsided series.Then that russian guy decided "nah, i dont have it again this year", our coaching staff not able to adapt against Dallas and our team out of gas in Game 6 (and yes, that game was hard to watch. We hang in there like Apollo Creed in Vegas against Drago).
As far as Nuke is concerned, as a fan, all I care about is this season. The window is all but closed once Mikko's deal kicks in.
Let’s be honest about this.As far as Nuke is concerned, as a fan, all I care about is this season. The window is all but closed once Mikko's deal kicks in.
Or the moment Cale wrecked Gabe's career.Let’s be honest about this.
Our window closed when the Avs resigned Nuke and his life fell apart.
He’s such a great player on the ice that his absence absolutely sinks us.
We won a cup after that so I’m going to disagree. We miss Landy but his AAV living on LTIR is a get out of jail free card.Or the moment Cale wrecked Gabe's career.

Semi-related story:
2019 draft...I was listening to all their podcasts back then and AJ and Rudo hyped the shit out of that draft since we had pick #4 (Sens pick). They spent countless hours talking about ALL the potential Avs pick: Dach, Turcotte, Zegras, Cozens, Knight, Boldy...
Not once they mentioned Byram as a potential Avs pick.
"They aren't taking a defenseman".
On draft day, AJ somehow learned that the Avs were taking Byram before the draft (he didn't tell us that he knew) but he started saying that it's probably going to be Byram. Out of the blue.
I was like you just spent 3 weeks telling us that it was everyone under the sun except Bowen Byram and now an hour before the draft you say it's going to be Byram? No explanation? Then the Avs indeed picked Byram.
To my knowledge he never addressed this.
I'm still mad today. It pissed me off a lot more than it should have.
Fans: Tell us everything you know!
Fans two weeks later: You’re a F idiot, you said he’d sign weeks ago! Kill yourself!
