Why are the avs doing this? And why are the rangers trading for him after missing a full season injured.

Avs won’t trade EJ if he’s healthy,

not the right pieces for BUF

COL has 23m next year. After signing Makar and Landeskog who much do you thinkis left ? Not much so this will give COL some Cap space.

they have enough to sign landeskog makar grubauer and jost to their contracts and have a 22man roster. They dont have to dump anyone if the dont want to

Absolutely the right pieces for Buffalo. One piece heavy too but that might be needed to get him to NY.

But they might still take less to get Byfield (unlikely) or Turcotte (possible) and keep Eichel out of NY. Either way, more than competitive offer even without Kakko.

Makar is going to want 10m at least. Landeskog can get 9m/9.5m. Grubauer going to want a pay raise from 3.3m lol thats leaving you no room to breathe. Your 22 man roster is a lie cause after you pay them 3 contracts you'll have no more $$$ for anyone else on the roster wirthout going over the cap.

Its not a lie, its been done before. Its tight its not impossible.

and you dont know what Makar or Landeskog want or will get paid, those are unknowns and your opinions arent facts. Wait till the cap and how escrow is goign to be handled before you started making cap claims of what players will do

your 22m doesnt account for what will be taken in the Expansion draft, which no one knows yet either.

Last thing we need is Kane in the locker room!

I would take this I don't think we get that much ultimately.

4 trades Proposals. 4 Quick Ranger declines.
