I mean they were like 15mins from losing their damn captain to FA.
100% agreed here. I do think Avs lowball everyone and I do believe in the long-run, Avs never saw a team capable of being deep if they had MacKinnon, Makar, and Rantanen all making 12+ million.But the Avs final offer being 11.75, which they knew Mikko would reject, and then immediately moving him tells me they didn't want to keep Mikko.
