Thread: Cap goes up 4 mil
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>turtlemountain</b></div><div>Oh no.

Toews would get a much larger return IMO (especially considering Debrusk doesn’t have any term). Ranta doesn’t have much value here.

Between Byram and Newhook, I think you’re low by a few million.

Bottom pairing would be fine, but Mayfield gets way more on the open market.

An alternative approach: keep your cost controlled top pairing defenseman for a year. It’s easier to get a scoring winger for cheap on free agency. Unless someone overpays for Toews, just keep him.</div></div>

Wishful thinking. If the Avs can't get a new home for Teows by TDL they will have no leverage on Teows trades.

Byram isn't getting more then 5mil. Avs can't afford it. 5Mil on length will get it done. Newhook is Qualifying offer if he doesn't improve his scoring. I could careless if Mayfield comes to the avs. If he comes he comes. That is all I'm spending on him. As for landy. he is a better 2C then any player on the Aves if Newie doesn't improve.

Thread: My dream team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MeetYourMakar</b></div><div>It's the Babcock method(or one of), If guys play together in the nhl, just put them together in the Olympics and collect your gold medal.</div></div>

I don't disagree if you were trying to match up a team with low skill players but this is the cream of the crop level. God mode team. I give them 3 weeks of practice and each will know how to play with the other. McD and Mac would figure our in the first 5 minutes that Drai and Mathews posting up near the net and them dancing the opponent into a stupor would result in the first 200 goal season for a player. Same goes for Marner and Rant. Hubby and Aho, Can you imagine the amount of free space for Tage, Terry, with these guys mixing and matching. Then you add in Makar, Ekblad, jossi and Carlson dancing in the holes created by the forwards. If I were opposing goalies. I would quit before the game. The XGF would 99 and the XGA would be 1. With time in other zone would be 99% to 1. It's the Colorado method. Pressure the opponent zone and you don't have to worry about defense. Proven tech.

Thread: Just going to piss off everyone
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>I mean I know your test fitting and all but that package is more than what the Avs were willing to do for Eichel (supposedly). And the big thing here is you just crushed the center depth of this team. You have MacKinnon and then a bunch of question marks then Helm.</div></div>

Question marks? landy/Rant sharing Center got us a Cup. Granted Meyers is an all around question mark but Mac/Landy/Rant/Helm were all C for us to the cup. Milano supposedly is a C also so third line could end up with 2. And again totally understand your side of this. I don't want this. I don't like this but in the end. this is where the money could be leading. Big Ugh I know.

But again Hubby and Mac and Nuke on the same line with Landy and Rant plugging in. OMG how much fun could that be.

Thread: Avs away
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dr_Invictus</b></div><div>Calgary declines. There are no tangible assets here. It's two cap dumps to accomodate Lindholm, a mid tier prospect and late round picks. Quality trumps quantity</div></div>

Calgary is getting:
1) A possible 2C - Newhook - 33 pts while playing part time and 3C. He is on the cusp. Colorado needs a 2C
2) Sam G - top 2 D at a bargain price of 5M over the long term. Worst case he is a 2D at a team friendly salary.
3) PP 3C at 3.5mil in JT
4) 2023 draft is stock full of talent. Even a bottom 1st is worth more then same in the last 2 drafts. Colorado got Barron a possible top 4 at the same level.
5) A 2nd. Again stock full of talent 2025.
6) 3rd - Every needs AHL player but again it's possible to get a Goalie or depth player.

By the way Screw Calgary "Depth" should not be mentioned when talking about Girard and Newhook.
