I like the Mitts and Jones signings a lot and would LOVE to have Trenin for 4 years.

I wouldn't give term to Duhaime, I like his play style but as a rule it's not good to give term to those 4th line grinder types.

I would imagine Walker, after a career year, is going to try and get north of 3 mil AAV, and is likely just a rental. I would predict a contract similar to what Manson got, and we can't afford that.

Drouin to me is the wildcard here. Could he get 3-4 mil on the open market after a 50 point season? I think so. Would he be willing to take significantly less money to keep playing with the Dogg? Possibly. If Landskog comes back though, I don't see any way we can keep him unless he is willing to sign for another (basically) league minimum contract.

I think it's either Drouin OR Walker. And I think it should be $3x3 or something like that for Drouin and the Avs can live with some combo of Malinski, Behrens, Jones and some league minimum hulking UFA as the third pair.

If landeskog comes back then most of then expect manson traded if they wanna sign forward depth

Manson, when healthy, is such an important piece of our d corp. He is the only one with size, and I think unless management feels his age/health will affect him on the final two years of his contract, he is more important than being able to sign a depth forward. Just my opinion though.

If Landy is healthy then there is no reason to resign drouin.
