Description

First I feel that Sully is going to get released. Not that I want him to, but not being able to adjust ANYTHING (not the lines, strategy, nothing) means he is most likely out. Second, the "core" needs to change. It's not working anymore. Stop trying to sells jersey's and start trying to win cups! Malkin I feel will want to go to a contender. Letang I feel would want to go a Canadian team. I picked MTL cuz I like Toffoli. But there are options on all the teams up north. I feel like this team is faster and has a little more grit. If I had a choice, I would go after Grubauer instead of Ullmark, but I just don't see COL letting him go. But I feel Ullmark is still a slight upgrade from Jarry after this season.

Colorado says no. Colorado is doing a very delicate salary cap dance. Low cost / good value contracts like Jost's are key to retaining Landeskog, Makar, MacKinnon, etc. Malkin's cap hit (even with retention) is a non-starter.
