He’s getting 11.5-12M in a location that isn’t tax free so his return would be underwhelming.

It was reported that col would give rants for very cheap if someone would offer the moon. So what does it take ?

So they would give him up for cheap if someone would offer a lot? Like Montreal could have him for a 2nd round pick, but only if we offered Demidov + Hutson?

Is this like a King Solomon situation where they are willing to let him go free to a good home, but only if the new team shows how much they value him?

Very certain he would have been signed already if that's all it took.
He'll get between 12 and 13, imo. The holdup could be that he wants more than Mack (because of signing later/higher cap) and the Avs have an internal Mack-cap.

i Mean the Avs think he should be moved so what do you give for him?
Itis above Horvat and below Meier
Meier had a full year of team control. Horvat was a UFA

protected 1st ( top 10 or so) + recent late 1st/ mid 2nd round drafted prospect+ contracted player. Things can change based on the contracted player or who the prospect is.

Horvat was 1st+ mid 2nd prospect+ contract
Meier was low 1st but a recent mid 1st drafted player and retention

The tax buden is being overemphasized. The income tax is less than 5% in Colorado and half of the salary is based on away games, which is almost the same regardless of where he plays. The appeal of a location is certainly a bigger factor.

I'd love him on the Sens but I don't think we'd have the players to package for him

I wish the Sens had a better prospect pool :(
