Overall a really nice AGM, good job!
Kolyachonok, Vladislav and 2020 3rd round pick (COL) for Zadorov, Nikita
I like your thinking here. Picking up a good defensive prospect like Kolyachonok would be really nice add in return for Zadorov. With Girard and Byram at LHD we're likely to need more of a 3rd pairing type of LHD, so it makes sense to target Kolyachonok. Adding a prospect instead of a pick also brings that asset a year closer to contributing than a 2020 pick would. That said, there's been noise about Florida ownership wanting to cut money from the roster, and so they might not want to add Zadorov, particularly as he'd be 3rd pairing for them at $3.2m+.
Burakovsky, André 2 $3,750,000 ---- Probably gets closer to $5m and some term, but I could see Sakic wanting another 'prove it' deal like this.
Dries, Sheldon 1 $700,000
Greer, AJ 1 $700,000 - I think his play after his suspension earns him a QO, but wouldn't be surprised if he's simply released or traded.
Miska, Hunter 1 $700,000
O'Connor, Logan 1 $700,000
Graves, Ryan 2 $2,750,000 ---- about right, good signing. Roughly $2.5m/2 years or $2.75m/3 years is probably his contract zone.
Jost, Tyson 2 $2,000,000 ---- Good signing. That puts him between the Crouse and Bennett contracts which are good comparabes.
Kamenev, Vladislav 1 $900,000 ---- Could see him get traded to a team where he'll have more opportunity.
Zadorov, Nikita 1 $3,250,000 --- That's his QO which is fair given that he hasn't proved he deserves a raise on. However, a 1 year contract takes him straight to UFA so i think it's likely he gets traded (which is what you've done).
Nichushkin, Valeri 3 $3,250,000 -- About $1m too much.
Lastly, I think you missed Kaut from the lineup. He's going to be a regular bottom 6er. Even if he's only on the 4th line he'll still get plenty of ice-time on the PK (which he's good at) as well as on PP2.
Again, nice job with this, all logical signings and moves.
