Thread: Looking to fill 1RW and 1RD
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div> Unless I'm missing something, you don't have a 3RD next season unless you are able to resign Walker, which is a stretch as well if Landeskog is back. Why would Helleson not be able to make the Avs as a 6-7 RHD on an ELC?</div></div>

Avs have Malinski who has played very well for a 1st year pro and fits the Avs system perfectly. He is a lot like Walker without the experience and pk ability( with added weight he'll get there). I think Helleson would be ahead of Clurman on the rd depth charts but would still be behind Behrens, and who ever they bring in as a JJ replacement. I am not against bringing him back, but if he can't get games with the Ducks I stuggle to see him getting called up. It kind of goes back to why he wasn't going to sign with the Avs out of college, there was no route for him to the nhl.

Not sure if you've watched him with the Gulls, does he look a season or two away from being a Manson replacement? That will be a need if Clurman isnt up to it.

Thread: rants
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LimeyBarsteward</b></div><div>The FO said they basically pushed over a signed contract to Mac and told him to fill in the amount. He could have received a lot more. See leafs Mac said he was pushed to be the highest paid player (without elaborating) and chose to be just 100k more than macdavids current contract. I don’t think Makar will ask to break the bank and will probably take a discount like he did on his last contract. Weather that’s 12.5 instead of 13 or 13 instead of 15 we will probably never know.
Rants seems to be of the same mind. There will probably be a hometown discount but it could be 11m instead of 11.5 or 13 instead of 14m. They both know Mac took a discount to keep the team together and I would be surprised if they didn’t follow suit.</div></div>

Also our recently extended 1LD Toews!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Brett44</b></div><div>For me and i'm Avs Fan i say yes. Armia$+ Trenin $= Colton $+Kirivanta $or every bottom 6 under 1M. Armia play very well this year and I like Trenin game. Kovacevic can help us on 3Rd and we can trade Manson for signing Walker.</div></div>

I think a better and more cost effective rd is Makar, Manson, Malinski than Makar Walker, Kovacevic. If Kovac was a lefty or plays the left well, I'd like him as a JJ replacement. I really like our current rhd option, including Clurman. Manson is much harder the replace than Walker and might even be cheaper. Also as its obvious, I don't want to block Malinski. Little late but I need to watch if Kovac can impact the play like Manson does away from the puck and on the pk.

Thread: rants
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NMAvsFan</b></div><div>Isn't it basically impossible for the cap to reach $100M in two years due to the limit on the maximum percentage it can rise? Isn't that why it's only going up $4M+ next season and then $5M+ the following season? I guess they could amend the CBA or come up with a new one before the old one expires but I am under the apprehension that under the current CBA, they can't just make that jump even if HRR is in line with such a raise.</div></div>

My main hope is because most owners/f.o's also want the cap to go up. Might be one of the few times the league n P.A can find a common goal. I thought the cba was up sooner, this will be interesting to follow and will show what Walsh is worth. I can see a strike or protest if the caps stays 16.5m under what it should be while paying 6% escrow(3%returned) when the league is openly making more than their agreement. I havent read it fully but I would have to assume those caps increase limits has to do with the debt that has been repayed.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Matt1567</b></div><div>I think Daccord makes close to double that on his next contract if he keeps this up, Korpisalo got 4 mil for 5 years off of 39 good games and a mediocre playoff series, Daccord shouldn't settle for less unless the market just isn't there</div></div>

You're right, more of a pipe dream. It will be somebody around 3m.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TJTwolf</b></div><div>100 million would be a big leap from the projections but even without that leap it's eminently possible to keep Rants and field and field a good roster. There's nothing even to say he goes that high either.</div></div>

It is and it isnt. With the league being able to support a 100m cap this season through h.r.r, it would take ending escrow or something major to keep that cap lower than a 50/50 split. So i Made it for a 90m cap just to be safe.

Thread: Rantanen trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Thorne</b></div><div>It is really hard to find comparable trades, Edvinsson would probably be the centerpiece in the trade, I can't see DET adding another one of their blue chip assets on top of that (Augustine, Kasper, ASP, Danielson). So I think the value might be off but if DET would add, it would probably be conditional first rounders, later round picks or lesser prospects.</div></div>
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>I think how much his next contract is going to play a big part in his return since it will take about half the league out of the picture</div></div>

No doubt it's hard to find a comp, because these guys just don't get traded often. The problem with every prospect is they are unproven prospects and the Avs are in win now mode. Edvi is a cool piece to watch but he isn't in the league yet. You could offer Raymond, Edvi and a 1st and I would say no thanks.

His next deal will be like Nylander or Pasta, but lets just call it 12m. The Avs can easily fit that and roster a cup contender.
