No Landy Long Term Outlook

Sabres ain't trading Levi

Obviously no

There is plenty of room for an inexpensive rookie that can score and make plays; even if he ends up playing wing, they have a spot for him no problem. I see him having a far better shot at the NHL than Olausson. And if he looks like a legit 3C option, you trade Colton to make more room to re-sign Georgie or add elsewhere.

I wouldn't want to trust a rookie G with the Cup window; it can take a long time for goalies to fully develop.

Let's tap the brakes on Kovy being a $4.5M player; dude hasn't even played a game of NA hockey yet. We'll see where he is after next season but he'll still be an RFA so no need to project throwing a ton of cash his way just yet.

This all this. Kovalenko has always profiled as a bottom 6 guy, and in the last 2 months I’ve seen Avs fan start acting like he is a top 6 guy that is going to be an instant stud. Ritchie is almost the opposite, before his draft year some were projecting him top 10 gets hurt, plays hurt the whole season, draft stock takes a hit and falls to COL. There is a reason COL would not trade him at the deadline and I’d be more than okay if on his elc he took the 3C role from Colton making Colton a trade candidate.

Levi is the truth, but he isn't what the Avs would look at imo. They tend to target Russians, ex- Caps, and back ups looking to become a starter.
