If we pay Byram $7 mil, he’d be signed for way longer than 3 years, maybe even 8 years potentially.

Swap ERod and RyJo and it looks pretty good.

I think Bo's camp will want a bridge deal to take him to UFA to then sign a big 8 year deal, a 3x6m is probably closer to what it will actually be, I think it will be close to what Mikhail Sergachev's contract path was but Bo is better at this point that Sergachev was when he signed for 3x4.8m

Okay, I see your view point. I love that username too.

If Bo signs over $5mil, I don’t see the Avs keeping one of G or Toews. His bridge deal is probably depressed a bit by his lack of games played, 4.5-5.5 feels realistic to me

Could be very true with the concussion history, its a coin flip to me, I just changed it now to 7x7m if they commit, but I could see it being in the 3x5-6.5m range. I'm torn of hoping the health stuff works out and just go 7x7m hoping we save 2m a year compared to what we may have to sign him for in 3 years if he meets the potential he has then giving him 8x9m

Also I'd trade G in a flash to keep Toews here. Girard has had a long rope with me and reached the end of it these last two years.

G had a great second half of the year, made some pretty big changes to his game, and it took well. I think we’re going to see him improve next season, but I get your sentiment, I was pretty exhausted with him. I expect the Avs to keep everyone, though.

PenisKer, 'scuse me, Peter will join us here in a second
