<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>dont waste the cap space on Kerfoot,</div></div>

I don't want him as the 2c/LW we all wished he was and tried to force him to be at 3.5, I want him as the 40pt passer to two net drivers in JT and ER at .5 mil more than pylon Helm.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Random2152</b></div><div>Man these kerfoot offers just keep getting more and more insulting.

And then like clockwork when a trade goes down and we get their actual value the site freaks out.

Every damn time</div></div> I love Kerfer. Was not thrilled it was him instead of Jost or JT that went to TOr. His value is easy a 2nd. But any team that could actually use his value (skill set) this season can't afford (cap) him. And those that can, won't spend for an asset like him on a 1 yr. TOR could use a little space for the occasional injury. They will pay some how. LOss through waivers, picks for a cap dump or an undervalued trade. How do you think we scored Toews?

Thread: Couple big trades to finish offseason

The problem is you need to look at needs. Colorado has 6 "top 4" Dmen. Why do they need a couple C+ prospects and a maybe good 7. We have some of those. We don't have a solid 2C. I like Newy but not really secure in him taking over yet. So that really only leaves three options - Landy, Mikko, or JTC. Next If Newy does workout at 2, JTC is and has been our 3C. Your idea just creates more holes in the lineup. McFar would be fired before his first season.

Thread: MQ2223

Please tell. What motivates Colorado to give up Sammy for a rental goalie that they don't need, an ECHL forward, and a 3rd? That is a joke offer for a top 4 d, top pair on your team.

Thread: avs may consider trading girard

The Avs could use a center. If Sammy gets moved, it will be to get a center. BY trade or cap space. I hope they don't move G. This is the D they have wanted for years. To be able to generate from the back end on every pair is a big chunk of the identity of this team. Finally get it together, actually win a cup, and to tear it down for anything less then a solid 2c does not help the Avs to win.

Thread: Penguins 2022-23

This still does not work for the Avs. It truly comes down to 2mill can be better spent elsewhere. Even if you add so picks. The Avs want another cup and your 3rd isn't going to advance them in that goal. This is a show me league and Zucker hasn't shown s.... in years.

Thread: Pens 22-23 Best Team

Why in the flying F--- Do the Avs do that? Lets paraphrase : I have a great Idea. Lets trade a slightly over paid swiss army knife player that can slot anywhere in the bottom nine and be effective. Ands has allthe way to a cup. Hell He can even sub in for Mack for a few games and has. Oh yeah and is 2mill cheaper. Lets trade for a guy that can't play center and can barely play 40 games in a season... four years in a row. Wait, nope I'm wrong .... This is a fabulous idea. This would work great for the Avs... Really?

Thread: Making space to bring back Kadri

I pray the Avs don't sign him at even close to that. If you sign him for that, next year you can't afford the raises of Byram and Newhook at least and possible mess with MacK and his... Plus there is now way Kadz is going to keep that pace up to make that worth it. Joe did it right. The back end made it possible for Kadz to get the numbers he did. He will digress as soon as next year. And this is coming from some one that is eternally grateful for helping us get the cup.

I hope NSH signs Naz for 8.5. I love him and he was great this year for us but that contract is going to age very badly and very quickly. Btween him and Matty - good hockey players getting elite money can only mean good things for the Avs in the future.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>Lehkonen, Kuemper and Nichushkin all get more $. No way COL starts the season with $7M in cap space without using it.</div></div>

I think he is only about a half mil shy on all 3. Plus he only has a 20 man roster. So 4-4.5 thats about right. Cap is not the problem next year its the year after. The Avs can only use that space up on a one year deal. Or. They can just do some douch bag Vegas style sh^# and sign for 3 and try and ditch em next summer.

Thread: Draft and Summer 2022

I can't wait until nxt yr where JD is no longer a Hab and their fan base stops trying to trade him to the Avs. We didn't want him 2 yrs ago, didn't want him last year, and still don't want him this year. And as above, on what planet is a guy that hasn't put up more than 25 points in 3 years worth a top 4 Dman on a very team friendly contract? Not this one. Oh yeah how about let's throw in a 1st and a B+ prospect also because that is worth the Backup goalie that we don't need since we have one signed for 2 more years that is better. THIS ALL SOUNDS GREAT FOR THE AVS! Are you high?

Thread: Winnipeg Rebuild

Avs say no. Connor is good but not worth that package from the Avs. Connor is not going to displace anyone one off the top line so he would be a second line winger. So is Connor in that roll, with less minutes and therefore less direct impact on the game worth a top 4 rookie cost controlled Dman and a current 2nd liner (also a high ceiling cost controlled rookie), a promising bottom sixer and our 1st for what a more established name? No. Connor is a better player right now but not worth that from the Avs. Maybe another team. Just not enough bump for the price for the role needed.

Thread: Thanks for the memories EJ

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NMAvsFan</b></div><div>Your point is well-taken but the point for me is that they'd probably rather have Manson and some cap space to fill in the blanks at the TDL than have Manson and EJ but no cap space.</div></div>

EJ has a cap of 6 mil. And 50% retention and DeHaan is 5 mil. Don't sign DeHaan. Keep EJ. Have 4.66 mil left in space instead of the 5.66 mil and a better team. Unless your needing 15-20mil (approx) at the TDL vs. what ...12-16? Nothing changes about Manson.

Thread: Thanks for the memories EJ

I love EJ but no one is giving up a 2nd for him even retained. Maybe a 3rd. So then the question is -DeHaan an up grade on EJ? I don't think so. Now they are locked into DH for 2 years, a smaller less physical D (not like there isn't enough of them on the team already), with a whole mil they have saved for one year that they didn't need and a 3rd. I'm ok with keeping EJ, having a bigger, better and more punishing D and losing out on that less than 5% chance on NHL player with the pick and only having 4mil in cap left.

Thread: 19 CGY 88 COL

The problem is that Newhook and Byram are NOT looked at as prospects in Colorado. They are roster players. So when someone offers them a rental for them. It hurts the AVs right now, in the present, not some abstract maybe in the future. And in most cases it is not worth it. I love Kaner, but still not worth it for only one year. And there is no way they can afford him going forward. Plus, we have a top RW, his name is Rants and he is pretty good. So again question comes in is a 2 line RW worth a 2C and a top 4D, both on ELCs on a cap strapped team. I vote no.

That's how Avs fans felt about Price. I hope they keep it up for the next year, just to make it fair. And the majority of the rumors are from MTL outlets so... not much difference.
