Value of: Wood and Colton

[Jersey Fan 12]

Given the first round exit and the fact that neither appeared in the series after the first game (the latter due to injury) what do the Avalanche do next since both players have years remaining on their contracts?

 

[Jacob]

I don’t think they’d need to do anything with Colton other than get him healthy.

Mercer for Colton plus is the type of deal I could see happening and I think it’s a mistake for NJ, both appear to not really be centers and Mercer has more runway.

I don’t see Colorado trading Colton just to trade him though, they’d also be trying to get a center upgrade like every other team in the league trying to get Colton.

Don’t see much of a market for wood. Colton hang onto.

Miles, Mackenzie Black- or Scott Wedge-?

Brock Nelson is a UFA so I didn’t include him.

Wouldn’t mind the wings being interested in Wood for their bottom 6. Big, fast, and has shown some ability to score. What would Avs be looking for

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Miles is a capdump. I think some team may give a 2nd or 3rd for colton.

How much C did/can Colton play

None, in the playoffs.

 

[Bone Breaker]

their value?
Wood - broken planks
Colton - picks and prospects

if Avs can get rid of those 6.5M dead cap, they do it. rather re-sign Lindgren, Kiviranta and Drouin.

100% need to market Wood as the fastest player in the league here.
