Little Sunday dreaming for fun.
Won't realistically happen, but one can dream

The scenario is the Avs are in Cap trouble going forward and will need to make some hard decisions for this off season and next. If the Avs were to resign their RFA/UFA's from this season, they would be at $97m+. They'll make it work obviously, but will lose some talent along the way...like $15 worth.

Next season, they would need then to factor is resigning, MacKinnon, Byram, Compher, Newhook...what does that project to? $12m, $3m, $5.5m, $2m? ~$20m total, but an increase of $11m over existing contract values.


NATHAN MACKINNON, c'mon down!!! 7 x $13.5m.

(I suspect Sakic will resign Mac wellllllll before next offseason...so there it goes up in smoke.)

Very likely nate MacKinnon chooses buffalo over staying in Colorado or the other 30 Nhl teams.

I hear he loves large water falls.... wants to be within 30 minutes of one ....

An article needed to be written about this? It's obvious all letters will be worn by a combination of 21, 89, and 26. Very much a no brainer.

Get a goalie or we riot.

Good Read!! What looked to be a year where Rochester could be short on prospects. Adams and Co. have done a very good job killing that lull. Should be a nice steady stream coming through Rochester the next 5 or so years.

Good read 36
Wish Hank would write about prospects every once in awhile

Don't you get a little nervous about undersized 19 year olds playing in the AHL? Feels like they have a few without an appropriate place to play next year.

I don't..

I feel it will be a Easier adjustment for them and we have a great group of players that will help them adjust to a family Culture to make them feel comfortable

This is a dumb idea moran how will we be able to extend Girgensons and okposo? Do you even watch the games? Plus, Mittlestadt will need to be extended and he is gonna need a big raise. Is Mack inn on will fall off a cliff due to age as they all do, and will stunt the growth of those guys in Cincinnati and down in Rochachacha.

Signing him out o this large of a contract and then everyone else will demand a big raise too and destroy what we have been building here. Group cohesion is most impotrtant. I expect his from RSH so due better.

Especially with one year left and he can walk. It does seem steep… I also want to see a year of healthy Mitts…

Does the olo deal with one of Johnson/Portillo make sense.

Olo will need a deal and Gerbe has hinted they have similar players.

Again, I’d like to keep olo as a “good vibes” signing. Also realize we are a last place team, you need to give to get and good vibes probably aren’t winning the cup.

- Gr8daygo


Bertuzzi would be a great add
*assuming we could extend him*

He’s obviously a risk to end up being just a rental if he doesn’t wanna sign

Any of those proposed deals would be worth considering imo

For those who don’t watch the Wings or know what he is, he’s basically a clone of his Uncle

Agitating power forward who plays tough & scores goals from in close

He’s a great example of the kind of player we should be looking to acquire to “get tougher”
