Cap hell next year when you have MacKinnon, Huberdeau, and Byram to sign

So you dominate for 1 year and then have to give away Rantanen for free just to pay everyone lol

Yeah I agree. Avs are painted in a corner with this one. I'm just test fitting. Wanted to see what it would look like. Not pretty. Like I said. I wouldn't do it but like most of my posts just a test fit.

Yes agreed. Shooting for another cup. Question in my mind right now is do the Avs have what it takes to make a complete run again. With the looses they sustain do they have the guns to make the complete run. Not certain. This would do it but at what cost. Like my last comment. Don't want this. Was a test fit and I'm not liking it.

By the By. Most of my posts are for me to review over the week and think of the reasons why not to do it.

I mean I know your test fitting and all but that package is more than what the Avs were willing to do for Eichel (supposedly). And the big thing here is you just crushed the center depth of this team. You have MacKinnon and then a bunch of question marks then Helm.

Question marks? landy/Rant sharing Center got us a Cup. Granted Meyers is an all around question mark but Mac/Landy/Rant/Helm were all C for us to the cup. Milano supposedly is a C also so third line could end up with 2. And again totally understand your side of this. I don't want this. I don't like this but in the end. this is where the money could be leading. Big Ugh I know.

But again Hubby and Mac and Nuke on the same line with Landy and Rant plugging in. OMG how much fun could that be.

Landy and Mikko doing spot duty at 2C is entirely different than trying to run them there the entire season. And I think you’re glossing over what Kadri contributed with 87 pts in the regular season and 15pts in the playoffs. Those guys with Newhook and Compher manned 2C 16 out 102 games. Just assuming Rantanen would be a 90pt 2C is exceedingly fool hardy and I would be shocked if that’s what they did.
