Thread: Dont Sell the farm for Kadri
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NDoody</b></div><div>Unless Kadri takes a discount he isn;t coming back.

IF he doesn't then it will hurt but i think this team is still fine. I don't see Rodrigues as the answer here either. I would think you see Landeskog or Rantanen move to play 2nd C and you either move up a younger player or get another winger.</div></div>

I think Rodrigez gives extra depth and flexibility to test out line combos. He has the speed to match pace with the team, whether he fits at 2C is a big question mark. it's very possible that the best outcome would be Rantanen at 2C since he showed he can do it. The extra cap space would probably give you 3M (+more if you trade someone away) at the TDL to get a new 2C if needed too.

Thread: The Fin Towers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Meeqs</b></div><div>So they aren't willing to give one of the best wingers and their captain that kind of money but they will trade a ton of high assets to sign a dude who sucks for that much?</div></div>

this is all a perspective of age. I don't think the Avs would bat an eye to pay Landy 8~9M plus for 5 years if he was 5 years younger. the price tag issue with Landy is that he will be entering his mid 30's by the end of the deal which will almost certainly not be worth that much. Laine will be fully in his prime for the extent of this deal which makes it worthwhile. In regard to cost of the trade, Columbus in't going to give him up for nothing. even though he had a bad year, they could easily just hold onto him and take the risk that he is going to be better under a new coach. Obviously, Landy is plan A but if he wants 9M for 7 years, Avs are better off letting him walk.
