He wants more than that

Closer to reality than many.

how do you know? maybe he is happy being a part of a juggernaut team moving forward. its not that unlikely that he accepts something in the 6mill range

Projected to make high 6

If that's the case then Avs literally cannot afford him without moving another piece. It will go to arbitration and I have a hard time believing an arbiter will award him more than that.

i think he'll bridge for 2-3 years as well and bank on himself. on colorado between nichuskin and maybe landy he will eclipse his buffalo numbers

sooooooo...... less than Landeskog? when theres a will, theres a way

My thought too. Best case scenario is he crushes it at 2C, then when he's up for a new contract, we can use Colton's 4mil to resign him and have Ritchie take over 3C on his ELC.

Would they move on from landeskog?

I randomly put 5.75M in one I made + resigned Walker and assumed Landy is out. I am not going to listen to Buffalo fans who thought the Sabres wouldnt do this trade for weeks so I am definitely not listening to them on how much Mitts wants . The Avs will 100% figure it out and have a true 2C for a long time.

its not that the avs move on, its that Landy is unable to play at the elite nhl level again and hangs up the skates
