Thread: Avs go Wild Bill
Article 50.5.c.ii.B of the CBA states:

“Nevertheless, in order to ensure that Clubs may have sufficient time and flexibility to plan their rosters during the off-season, the Upper Limit shall be temporarily raised by ten (10) percent to permit Clubs additional flexibility with their Averaged Club Salaries during the period from July 1 until and including the last day of Training Camp. On the day following the last day of Training Camp, the Upper Limit shall again be lowered to the level as calculated in Section 50.5(b), and all Clubs must once again be in compliance with the Upper Limit from the day following the last day of Training Camp until and including June 30.”

So, the date you’re looking for is the day following the last day of training camp.

Article 26.13.c outlines a few potential punishments, including “(iv) Declare a forfeiture of any NHL Game(s) determined to have been affected by a Circumvention;“

So, yeah, I can’t give you an example of any penalties because it doesn’t seem any team has exceeded the Cap....because they might just be forfeiting games (among other financial penalties mentioned in Article 26).

I don’t care to get into the minutia of the CBA. The Knights are in a cap crunch and will have to make some moves to become compliant. It’s unlikely they’ll have to let Karlsson go to do so, but hey, I’m just having fun a little bit of fun.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>earl08</b></div><div>This trade is just soo risky. I'd prefer to give Jost one more year; I think his skating could improve enough for him to be an effective top-6 guy. His 1st yr was hampered by a training camp groin injury. Last season saw him be a little faster, but still sorting out his game. With the way he ended, and a whole summer to improve his quickness, he should open next season with confidence. But, even if we had to bump that to a 2nd rounder, it would still be good. Also, I'm not sure if Clarkson even matters, as his salary won't count against the cap</div></div>

Yeah, I haven’t yet given up on Jost just yet either, but I think Karlsson is a clear 2C for our Cup window.

Clarkson doesn’t matter once the season starts, but VGK’s problem is that they can’t put him on LTIR until after the official start of the season, and they have to be cap compliant with him on the roster. They’re already over the cap without WK and a couple others signed, so they’re gonna have to shed money somewhere.

Thread: Avs Crazy Off Season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Linlan</b></div><div>Nah, Colorado needs to add. Horvat is younger and locked up for three more years then Barrie and on top of that moving up from 16th to 10th in draft? A conditional 2nd does not make up for that difference</div></div>

I can see why either of these teams say no to this trade. But as far as value, I think an elite point producing defenseman hold similar, if not a little more, value than a good two-way 2C. Which is why I used Barrie to move up 6 picks. Age and contract status definitely lean the trade toward Horvat being more valuable, which is why I added in that conditional 2nd rounder for if/when he extends. Maybe the Avs do have to add a little something, but with Barrie being the best player in the trade, I don’t think it needs to be too extreme.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ArakinSkywalker</b></div><div>I like that trade, horvat for 5.5 is a real nice contract. Sucks to see barrie go but i think it's a good overall hockey trade, i don't really know what Vancouver needs if they want barrie or not but Barries value is sky high right now.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TJTwolf</b></div><div>Definitely if I'm the Avs, don't know about the 'Nucks though but imagine they would. Barrie type players don't come along all that often. As Arakin says it's a decent hockey trade though. Better players to have up rather than O'Connor would probably my only major criticism. Well done! ;)</div></div>

Yeah, I don’t know VAN’s needs that well. I think they need D, but with Quinn Hughes coming maybe they don’t need Barrie.

Thread: Avs with a big TOR Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EricRobson77</b></div><div>Deff dont hate it. Really depends on what Kerfoot is asking in RFA talks. If hes will to accept a bridge deal around 3 million give or take. i think its good vaule. But if hes trying to get a 6 year deal and wanting around 4.5 million. it doesnt make sense for us.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>First of all... WHAT!!!!! If the Avs ever came close to offering this you say yes please, thank you and get it to the nhl office for approval immediately.

But they won’t.

I think if you could do Kadri marleau for either keerfoot or Jost that is a good deal for the leafs. I don’t even mind retaining on Marleau.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EricRobson77</b></div><div>So if Kerfoot gets lets say kadris 4.5, you still have Zats on the books. You still dont have enough cap for Kap, Johnsson and Marner. If Kerfoot would do a bridge deal I would love it. I think he be an ideal 3rd line center for us.</div></div>

Kerfoot ain’t touching 4.5, at least not if COL extends him. I’m expecting a bridge somewhere between 3.5-4M, but he shouldn’t get 4. I personally don’t love him as a player, but he’s got great playmaking skills that could do really well in TOR’s talented top6.

Thread: Conservative Avs at the TDL
And to follow up with what I'd like to see over the off-season and pre-season:

-Find a lateral move for Tyson Barrie: a more well-rounded defenseman, but similar age. Hamonic comes to mind.

-Hope like hell Vegas takes Soderberg in the expansion draft.

-Hopefully draft Nolan Patrick who should immediately make the top6 better.

-Give Tyson Jost an extended look for the top9.

-Remove the Captaincy from Landeskog and see who earns it through the first half of the season.

-See which goalie figures their **** out. Seriously, neither of them can possibly be this bad.

-Extend Nieto. I think he's a good addition to our bottom 6.

So, that would leave us with a top9 of MacKinnon, Rantanen, Duchene, Landeskog, Patrick, Jost, Greer, Compher, Comeau/Nieto.

And a top4 D of: Johnson, Zadorov, Barrie or Hamonic-type, Bigras.

It's a young team and will have a tough season, but there's a lot of potential.
