Can’t see them not resigning E Johnson, he’s probably take a big discount aswell.
Only future problem really is fitting Landy back in 24-25
Middlestadt if he produces anywhere close to what he did in buffalo this year will be in for a big payday
Barbashev they probably won’t be able to move at a cap hit of 5.5 mill he’s worth more around 4-4.5.
Schiefele they are selling big time on the future and giving a lot of assets for a player they have literally no chance at resigning, he will want 8 mill and Colorado just can’t afford that.
I’d say they’d just be better off hoping newhook can maybe break through this wall he is stuck in and the best way the could do that is by surrounding him with strong wingers that can carry. id say they need rantanen and then a guy like Barbashev with him.
They could even get a guy like ROR let newhook play wing on his line so he can learn from him somewhat and then allow newhook to get PP2 draws or even let newhook take some Offensive zone draws and allow ROR to take the majority of defensive zone draws
