Thread: No trade partner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>I don’t think they have any intention of bringing back. The press conference at least CMC part was entirely legalese of what he could say. They can’t trade him while suspended, and they can’t terminate his contract while suspended. People are to focused on one sentence “but it is very plausible he will be back with the Avs” and ignore everything else “the obvious question is termination right? At this time that’s not an option” and “assuming he does (get clean and help) and after 6 months we will react on that” and talking about getting the call from the league and how it affected 25 other guys. Behind the scenes I think the conversation is that they are preparing legally to terminate his contract preparing documentation about the incident in the Seattle Hotel, the multiple positive tests, the stupid IG posts, and anything that didn’t make the news. There just is no way unless they lose a termination legal battle (doubtful) or are unable to move his contract he comes back.</div></div>

What happen with the IG post?

I thought the buyout window is only during the summer.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ArakinSkywalker</b></div><div>i don't know why you'd send him to the minors either way. I'd assume we wait and see what happens when he comes back. There's a lot of time between now and trade deadline next year, he could be clean by then for all we know. The guys a huge piece of our offence, but if we were to make a trade to replace him i'd go after someone who performs in the post season and who can stay healthy, ehlers is neither of those.</div></div>

Hell yeah brother. Let's watch nuke disappear again in the playoffs. That's what I'm talking about. Ehlers does perform in the playoffs.

I would say get jake debrusk and only way to get him is to sign him but you can't until you get nukes cap off the books.

But sure let's just keep a distraction on the team. Nuke was fine but once he signed an extension he went downhill.

Funny girard cleaned up his act. Im a laugh when he messes up again and the fans and organization look like dummies for keeping him.

Thread: Lets do this
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NMAvsFan</b></div><div>I actually think sending Nuke to the minors is not a terrible idea. I mean, it doesn't save a ton in cap but it might reinforce just how pissed they are. Maybe he asks for a trade; maybe he refuses to report and they terminate his contract. It's another of several options they have.

I can't see Behrens making the jump next year and I'd rather see them dump Manson than Girard. $2.1M is a lot to pay a 4th line C but he was pretty good for them; if they go 4 years, they should be able to shave at least a little off that cap hit. It's going to be interesting to see if Kovy can stick. He obviously didn't get much time to adjust but looked out of place. Once he does get time to adjust, hopefully he can be a solid bottom-six option. Mitts may very well get more. Of course, if Landy doesn't come back they'll have more money to play with; I wonder if they have an internal timeline on his return because if they go beyond UFA not knowing one way or the other, that's going to be tough to deal with.</div></div>

To be honest way I see it is nuke will end up on LTIR. Then he gets sent to minors. Someone will probably claim him. If not stuff him there till a trade happens.

Landeskog is my opinion should just hang his skates up. He won't be the same player and his contract in hindering the avs right now. He should become a coach with the avs system for now.

I think the C should go to Toews. People say mackinnon but he dint want it.

Last thing. Kovalenko did better then expected in my opinion. At times he looked out of place but dude was thrown into a fire with no practice and stuff.

If landy ends up on LTIR they can easily get 2 more top 9 players and a 3rd pairing dmen. I'm a try one with no trades and no landy
