Thread: Busy Offseason for Joe Sakic
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMs</b></div><div>What is the minimum you could see COL doing with Kadri
Is 3 years 7M AAV is realistic or not enough money and/or terms ? If the sign Kadri 3 years 7M - Kuemper 4 years 5M AAV - Nichushkin 4-7 years range around 4M AAV - Lehkonen 3–4 years range around 3.75M AAV - then you can have all those guys but you still need to get rid of Compher, I don’t know if he has negative value</div></div>

So I’ve retyped this like 6 times. $7M is that line kind of in the sand. Landeskog is $7M but his has a the max NMC $7M. No I don’t think they go to $7M, do I think they go 4x6 w/a NTC. I think you’re spot on with the others maybe a little more for Kuemper AAV. If Kadri took that Burakovsky is gone but it gives them the basis for the top line, Kadri and Nichushkin anchoring the 2nd line and Lehkonen and Newhook anchoring the 3rd.

Compher gets irrational hate on CF. He only has a year left left, he plays all the forward spots, plays special teams and Bednar never hates to drop him into the top 6 when somebody is out. That all being said I think he is an easy move if they want the space.

Thread: This summer
People don't appreciate retention for multiple years enough. It's a limited resource (3 per team), and the potential return value added for rentals alone, normally exceeds what the proposal offers.

$2.2M is roughly the value of a 3rd round pick. For three years, that's three 3rds.
Dvorak was just acquired for a 1st and a 2nd. Montreal isn't about to flip him at a significant loss after one below average, issue-plagued season.

Even if Montreal did decide to cut bait, they aren't going to move him at 50% retained for a pair of 3rds.

Pitlick is likely matched at that price.
A free 3rd isn't a bad return for a waiver pickup, but he's shown enough to suggest he can be a contributor at the NHL level and have a positive impact on the team.
Even then, you're better off proposing a trade than going the offer sheet route.
If Montreal is ready to let him go, he won't be that difficult to acquire. If they want to keep him, you're not offering enough to change their mind.

Thread: Question to Avs fans
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>you arent getting a top d prospect for him, come down to reality already</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>Barron isnt available….the only mention of him was if avs wanted to make a massive move they might have to include Barron in a trade. And that’s a big If

No one is reporting his available, and they aren’t just giving him bc bc of rentals or retained salary</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>That’s NEVER happening keep Lehkonen.</div></div>

Well, well, well...

Based on reality, where we were asked to <em>come down to,</em> our sources were actually right about Barron being <em>available</em> AND our idea, which was <em>NEVER happening</em> (note the capital letters, making it a stronger argument), actually happened less than a month later.

The lesson here isn't that you were both totaly wrong, <em>which you were</em>, but that <strong>your opinions were stated without any nuance or humility and with total disregard for the ones of others you could had actually learned from. </strong>

When you are rude in disregarding someone facts based opinion, dont be mad when reality comes back slaping you in the face by having <strong>your own competent and experienced GM proving you wrong</strong>.

Congrats on Lehkonen. Best of luck in the playoffs. Looking foward to have a smart conversation with you before the draft.✌️
