No bad.

Probably should've traded girard to compensate for nukes cap hit.

Cause even if you stuff him in minors he's gonna cost 5 million against the cap.

Term for Middlestadt is probably going to cost more probably. He might do that as a 3 year deal (and i expect the Avs do something more like that i guess)

I agree, CMC said they think Ritchie is a 2c, like Mittlestadt but going long term on him I don’t know.

Ritchie has strong 2C vibes for sure. I think bc of that it's likely they term out Middlestadt for highest value at the end of this deal, rather than pushing it to the other side of 30. It would also be pretty sick to have 2 2Cs. Kinda a good thing to have.

Yeah it would, I also have been leaning more to playing Ritchie next year with the Avs because nothing good can been had in playing his D+2 year in the OHL. Maybe that 200ft game he has translates sooner.
