I think in the event Val comes back then the Avs intend to give him a chance from the press conference with CMac and Gabe but hard to tell as there were mixed messages. Definitely a last saloon kind of vibe though. A buyout is too big of a hit for too long so imo they're going to give him a chance, possibly seek out potential suitors, and if it all goes pear shaped again then terminate after the 1 year suspension. Buyout is the absolute last option. The Avs should definitely move on from JJ now as well.
