Thread: AVS-CoupleMorePieces
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>nathanallan</b></div><div>to make these deals work you must trace jt because tatar and murray wont even consider those deals</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ArakinSkywalker</b></div><div>Murray on a cheap deal like that would be nice, some insurance incase of injury again on D. I think you've got too many forwards though, LOC is playing this year so one person has to go. I think compher is the one since his contract is weighing us down from another signing</div></div>

Agree with both you guys, JT needs to go, his contract is weighing us down, and limiting moves we are able to make. I didn't think the Expansion draft was going to impact our roster as much as it has! the Vegas draft we lost pickard and that's it. because of Seattle we have lost Donskoi, Graves and Grubauer. The flat cap couldn't have come at a worse time for our franchise as well.

Thread: Bye Landy bye Gru - Kuznetsov
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>littlejerryseinfeld</b></div><div>I was told by a certain Avs fan that there would simply be no issues signing makar, gubauer and landeskog and any insinuation otherwise was trolling.</div></div>

Lots of us Avs fans are potentially about to be proven wrong!!! (myself included)

I thought all along the Cale deal was a no brainer I was thinking it would have been 9 mill / 8 years not 6.

in regards to Grubby im not a huge fan of his, I miss varly personally. So I would be fine if theres a good value replacement for him.

But I for sure was the guy who was yelling at people saying there is no way Landy doesn't sign, and that he wont get as much money as people have said that he would, and I may be about to be proven totally wrong and look like an idiot lol. (we will see)

you win some and lose some I suppose.

Thread: LandyBackToReality
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeastModeUnknown</b></div><div>look at your team amount 9 Million you need a goaltender better than Gruabauer and I'll tell ya what it's gonna be 5-8 Million dollars for a reliable goalie. Landeskog wants 9-10 Million only willing to take a slight hometown discount deal to most likely 8.5 Million, MacKinnon most likely makes near or more than what McDavid makes. Jost is going to be an upped. You add it all up you get around 30 million added into that and that doesn't include any of the depth pieces you have to make a team worth your while.</div></div>

I guess we will have to wait and see once Landy signs, we can talk about what he wants all day long, but one look at the recent deals will tell you that hes not going to get 8.5 million with the avs and will not get 9-10 in the open market unless its a **** team (he was not able to come to terms with Seattle who has tones of cap space to work with) Hall at $6 mill, Nugent Hopkins at $5.125 a Flat cap dont see gabriel getting what he "reportedly wants" in this market. Grubby will prolly be signed for $6 mil by us (for better or for worse) and Nate has said multiple times he wants rings not money, so he will sign a fair value deal for himself but it wont over what McDavid makes, that whole Erik Johnson salary could go to Nate. I think as long as they keep the core together (Nate, Makar, Mikko, (insert 5-8 million Goalie), Landy) and can sign good value players they will be more then Fine. Teams have to learn how to lose before they learn to win the Avs core is still very young Tampa, Washington, St. Louis all had to lose alot before they won.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeastModeUnknown</b></div><div>Makar Grubauer MacKinnon gets 10+ Million. Newhook will need a contract negotiation the same year Bowen Byram will also need an extension the same year. Jost Bura and Nisch will all need extensions as well. Not very hard to piece together the problems.</div></div>

Are you saying Makar, Mack and Grubauer all make 10 million plus each individually? Because Makar will be around 9, Mack around 10-12.5 and Grubauer 5.5-6.5 ish, if they sign gabriel and all those guys are signed that's keeping the "core" together who knows what byram and newhooks next deals will be valued. They will have more then enough money to sign the guys you have listed (Mack &amp; Makar &amp; Grubby) saad bura and kadri may have to be replaced by other guys down the line no doubt LOL

Thread: Avs-Moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NMAvsFan</b></div><div>I cannot see a situation in which the Avs buyout EJ - it's too much dead space for too long and they're going to need every penny they can get for Mac and to put pieces around him. That being said, I like the idea of Suter because he can still be effective and productive. Parise, if he were willing to accept a checking-line role at that price would also be decent but there are better players available.</div></div>

Yeah I agree, I dont think its possible for the Avs given their current situation to buyout EJ, its better to ride it out for the next two years and have that space be dedicated towards Nates new deal what ever that number is going to look like! some where in the 10.5-12 million dollar range I would expect. But who knows the way EJ's last 2 seasons have gone he may get hurt again and end up on LTIR.

Thread: Avs-Next-Year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Foppa21</b></div><div>Why let Jost walk when he'd be cheaper at 3C? That right there probably makes up the difference to sign Grubauer. I also don't agree with the Hoffman signing. A good player for sure, but we don't need to be paying a 3rd line winger $4m a year. Imagine Saad makes more as well</div></div>

Thats a fair comment regarding josty, but im not sure how I feel about grubs hes a good goalie but I just dont get that ultra confidence when he is in the cage, I think ullmark is a good goalie on an awful team. I still don't think saad gets much more then that personally "if" he stays with the Avs, the adds of granlund and hoffman were meant to add some more depth and secondary scoring which I felt were missing once Kadri was suspended, once he was gone I thought it shifted the whole line-up out of whack as others were having to play up, and felt granlund might give more depth if we lost someone at the centre position. If you look at the Depth of tampa you can never have to much depth on your team. Thanks for the comment though it was my first post!
