Normally i'd be concerned about the fact that this deal expires at 35, but Mack Daddy's a generational talent, he'll probably still be serviceable at that age.

Should’ve got 14.


Thats gonna be AM extension 14mill x 8 years 90.760mill SB

Basing this on the diff between 12.5mill and 12.6 mill SB which was only 340k

And then following that McDavid probs gonna have the record of 20mill with a 100mill total SB

MacKinnon's extension to me kind of suggests Girard could be on the move as if Byram and Newhook have strong seasons that 13mill in cap gonna get tight fast. Moving him at least gives them flexibility and with his contract and age should expect a massive return

MacKinnon certainly could've gotten more, he easily could've leveraged the fact that the cap would go up to get 13+, good deal for the Avs

the players requested it. the reflection makes it harder for management to stab you in the back.

I still cannot take the shiny helmets seriously. Not after that time Alex Texier made Mark Stone's ankles disintegrate while they were wearing them.

Not at all. If he had gone for $13.5m or more then it would have been difficult.

Now we can get each of their extensions done soon and in good AAV ballparks. +/- $3 million for Byram and slightly less for Newhook. Both probably 2 or 3 years

Agreed

My suspicions is once the extension kicks in Girard could be off to a team needing a RD like Ottawa

assuming Severson could be signed and traded, I think a 3 way deal with Girard to New Jersey, Severson to Ottawa, and Picks/Prospects to Colorado could be a fun scenario.

The last time Ottawa did a 3-way trade with Colorado it didnt end well for them or the third team lul

I think if Dorion did that and he lost man I dont think the offseason he had this year could save him

As you would get fans just going

Again really **** off

i love the idea but timing makes it difficult.
Since Severson's ufa the trade would have to go down pre TDL, where it wouldn't make sense for Colorado to move Girard for futures ahead of the playoffs (I take it we're all assuming the Avs make the playoffs).
I suppose MacFarland could flip those futures in another trade for a roster piece but adding another moving part to that environment probably makes the entire idea untenable.
Maybe something on the Sens roster of equal value to Severson and Girard could be moved instead of futures, any suggestions @csick ?
