So Drouin who has 4 less 4pts and makes $4M less than Tarasenko gets demoted to the 4th line and RyJo who can’t get out of his own way gets promoted to the 3rd line. That’s some interesting choices.

Ottawa accepts.

Sometimes you see an ACGM and think "why am I even bothering to comment?"

No from the Avs. That's before even looking at what other teams think.

@Bsellar,
you obviously don’t know much at all about the Avs Cap
OR that the supposed “rumors” are all based off BS made up by a local podcast host to get attn for his crappy show

Sabres are NOT trading Mitts
And the Avs can’t fit him under their Cap moving forward anyways

I think frost is the most logical one. Avs could still resign him and wouldn't be expensive like mittelstadt.

Or in my opinion go with Novak and trenin from the preds. Trenin takes olofsson spot

Novak and Sissons would be my ideal but affording both long term would be tricky.

I think they would be more affordable long term then frost and mittelstadt.

Certainly easier than Mitts. Problem is more where Novak comes in. Will be a decent raise but hasn't really proven he's anything yet. Also getting any kind of retention on Sissons would help but that may make it all to costly. As a one stop shop they could look at Lankinen as a back up as well.

If avs traded for scissons they would still have him for 2 more seasons at 2.8 million.

Novak shouldn't cost alot as he only had 1 full season really. 5 yrs 3 million or 3.5

Yeah I had Novak pegged for about the same 3-3.5 but more likely over 2 or 3 years. Sissons would be expensive for a 3/4C even though he's probably worth every cent. That's where a little retention might help.
