Description

Word out of CGY is they will have decision on extension or sign and trade sometime before draft night. Scenario for if Lindholm wants a sign and trade with Avs being on the list.

Base on a '24-'25 cap projection, 8x9M is the highest the Avs can go on Lindholm. If Landy comes off LTIR next summer, that would leave the Avs with around 8.5M to fill 7 roster spots without trading anyone. Manson would be the most likely guy to move next summer to open up more space.

Added Behrens and Kovalenko on ELC's as I expect them both to sign at the end of next season. Kovalenko should be with the NHL club in April for the cup run. Behrens should sign when DU's season is over and join the AHL club.

Trades

COL

Lindholm, Elias

Additional Details:

Lindholm extends 8x9. Not really worried about the back end of this contract. Several key pieces of the Avs core are right around the same age as Lindholm.

CGY

Newhook, Alex [RFA Rights]
Toews, Devon
2023 1st round pick (COL)
2025 3rd round pick (COL)

Additional Details:

Worked off the Tkachuk to FLA trade for value of a sign and trade. Tkachuk is better than Lindholm, but being a center brings the value closer. CGY could extend Toews similar to what they did with Weegar, or 3rd team could get involved to take Toews and send CGY a better fit that is equal in value.

COL

2023 3rd round pick (PIT)
2023 5th round pick (LAK)
2025 4th round pick (LAK)

LAK

Francouz, Pavel

Additional Details:

Similar to the Georgiev trade from last summer. LAK or someone else looking for a good goalie on the cheap for draft picks. Francouz would make sense for any team looking to go to a true tandem in net.

COL

Timmins, Conor

TOR

2023 5th round pick (COL)

Yamamoto, Kailer

2023 6th round pick (COL)

i think the deal would get done without toews in that trade, adding toews and not getting anyting else back is overkill in my opinion

I'm no expert in the players involved, but that price tag seems large for Lindholm. As does his extension.

Maybe he's not quite there yet, but I would imagine that COL sees Newhook as their 2C. Toews is pretty important to that back end as well.

As for TOR, I think I'd rather keep Timmins if this is the best return he'll get.

The OP does say a 3rd team could get involved to take Towes and give us something we need, which I would do

I'd take that deal if we send Haninfin elsewhere. Granted, bigger changes are needed if we lose Lindholm.
