Confirmed with Link: Ross Colton Traded To Avs for #37 OA Pick In 2023 Draft, signs 4-year x $4M deal

[BobRossColton]

I really don't think so, but I'd love to be wrong on that. Finding a way to grab one of the Flyers forwards supposedly available would be sweet.

Laughton by a mile IMO.

He'd be such a good 3C here, then you could move Colton to the wing where I think he'd be even better for us.

If we got Laughton, our top 9 would basically be set for 3 years, Mikko contract..

Watch it be 4x4

Called it. Follow me and @RoyIsALegend for more predictions.

At this point, I kinda want Phil Kessel on a PTO. He would be the antithesis of Colton and Wood, but it would be funny seeing them just skating around being chaos monkeys with Phil casually soaking up points left and right.

 

[MacKaRant]

Paying Ross the same as RyJo for the next two years. We'll see which one ends up contributing more to our success. I hope that Colton stays hungry.

I was close. I said 8 x 6

 

[JWK]

Pretty nice EV offense

 

[Avsboy]

I think he’ll bust out

Do it for the memes. I'd eat a package of hot dogs in one sitting if the thrill signs here this summer

The cap when Compher signed his $3.5 deal was $79.5 million That's was 4.4 percent of the total cap. Now the cap is $83.5 million. Colton's $4 million a year is 4.7 percent of our total cap. Also, with the cap jumping next year, this is a good deal.

Colton will contribute more to the team. Avs will be looking for a 2C by end of November.

 

[RampoSanta]

So, after they sign Meyers to about $900k - $1M, they'll have just under $2M left in cap space.

I am seeing about $2.65M with Meyers in at $950K. Dont count Olofsson for now as his $775K likely (hopefully) gets displaced by next signing

Ok. Where are we going? Applebees?

Not with the power of Mackinnon shielding Ryjo’s ankles

This is why I don't follow you for predictions. I spent an entire Spring watching you predict we'd never win the Cup.

 

[NateTheGreat]

Good deal. Colton will absolutely stay hungry and hope to put up career best numbers here so he can cash in one last time as UFA in 4 years. If we somehow get another player for our top 6 via trade, I’d move Lehky down to the 3rd.

Lehky-Colton-Wood

That’s a 3rd line that wins you playoff games.

So we have 1.9M in cap space left and still miss a top 6 winger and a bottom pair RD?

We just signed that top six winger.

 

[sethro109]

Cap friendly has us at 2.8M. Am I missing something?

 

[MacKaRant]

After taking an hour to reflect, I like this deal. After that "new player shine" wears off, I think there's a chance that he'll be seen as overpaid due to relative lack of offense, but I don't think we'll ever have issues or concerns with the level of effort.

Still missing a 2C aswell. Teams in big trouble come October.

 

[Balthazar]

Around 900k for Meyers.

We just signed that top six winger.

At that price you better pray he sticks at center.

Colton will do other things that will replace the lack of offense. Its not like houdini compher where he provides nothing but once in awhile does something ok.

CF has Olofsson as an every day player and no Meyers. Swap them and it goes down to ~2.65M. I expect Olofsson wont be in the final every day roster, though we will certainly see him in the first round of call ups. Signing more shifts players off the cap on paper so really look at the delta. Signing a guy for 1.25M for example and pushing Olofsson off is a net $500K change in cap

 

[Vaslof]

Around 900k for Meyers.

Tbh I forgot he's a C lol. We theoretically have our top six wingers if you count Drouin. Colton and Johansen as 2/3C whoever earns it.
