Certainly not the worst I've seen overall though I'd say it's an overpay by the Avs. Pretty sure the plan will be to keep Grubauer and Kadri and shelter Newhook but definitely not a bad plan B. Credit for trying something different. I would still expect Graves to get taken in the expansion over Donskoi (though JD has been very good of late) and Jost's contract is a little high. I'd also expect Makar to be a little less but if it ties him up long term I'm not averse.

Possible Playoff Lines
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>Nah they’ll put Nemeth and Graves together give them as many d-zone starts and the 1st pk. Byram was playing top 4 minutes before and has great defensive underlying minutes and his skating absolutely makes the top 4 of Makar Girard Toews and him fly. McDonald has been great but he isn’t Byram. Agree with all the forward lines, though they will work LOC in.</div></div>
Have to disagree with you on this one with regard to the D. Nemo and Graves may do a lot of PK time but I see them keeping Graves and Makar together. Worked well last year and has worked well again this year since they've been playing together again. I could easily be wrong but I wouldn't break up that pairing again this year unless injury forced me to.

Potential Janmark Suiters
No interest from the Avs there. Jost is the closest they have to a #3C and improving all the time. He hasn't become a star from the first round but he's certainly no bust as yet so they will at least persevere with him this season.

Glendening isn't worth more than a 4th to any team. Solid 4th liner but that's about it, but he's no serious improvement on PEB for the Avs on the 4th. Pass.

Hertl now getting calls too with Labanc - would a team pull the trigger
It's probably what the Sharks would be looking for re: Hertl, but absolutely no way the Avs should pay it. Even if they could find a way to squeeze Hertl's cap in next year, they'd be in hell after (other than making significant other moves). Don't see the two as logical partners, but the idea is probably right, just not the right team.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NMAvsFan</b></div><div>If Joe can get Cale to take that, you do it every day of the week. I do not believe, though, that Cale and his camp would take that little. If he even goes long-term, I'd expect it to be more along the lines of $9-9.5. It's almost more likely he bridges which helps the team in the short-term with flexibility but also puts him in line for even more money in a few years when the cap goes up. Going to be interesting to see how it plays out.</div></div>
Yep, absolutely. I think a bridge deal is far more likely.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>Are you insane? Chabot is a beast on horrible team. He was the piece Sakic really really wanted in the Duchene trade but Drouin wouldn’t. Girard and Chabot taking up 1/3 of the dcorp for $9M a year for the next 7 years, the Avs could do SOOO many things. I’m not doing it straight up but if somebody is dumb enough to retain half for 8 years do it.</div></div>
Saying it how I see it. Never seen Chabot play well, bad team or not. Looked utterly hopeless on occasion. Now don't get me wrong, I realise Toews might look inept in such circumstances but not seen anything from Chabot that makes me think it's worth giving up Toews.

Yep possible it maybe goes 500k the opposite way on each of them or maybe to 6 for Gruby. What's your thinking on the 8x8 for Makar? I think it would be a steal long term, but also the right money if he's bought into the team friendly idea. Most seem to think more though.

Sell Off
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Richard88</b></div><div>I look at the JJ trade as the team concluding that they lacked a No.3 since neither Werner or Miska looked good, so the JJ trade was to replace the no.3 - probably beyond this season too, rather than the backup position.</div></div>
Oh yes I agree, but then surely the point of the #3 is to stand in for the #2 if he's injured? That's why Bernier would certainly have been the best option, and I agree he's one to circle back to IF Frankie is out for the playoffs (or even right up to) purely due to experience and knowing the team so well (in addition to his ability). Halak would be of interest then as well under those circumstances but if you've signed JoJo to be the number 3 you've got to give him a shot at things for now. Tbf I didn't think the team did him too many favours against ARZ, and the Kessel goal was just plain atrocious bad luck trying to do the technically right thing when a more experienced goalie might have held the worse position and got away with it. I had to have a little chuckle as well at all the naysaying on my Crouse post as he played well for the 'Yotes. Doesn't necessarily mean I'm right in thinking he'd be a good one to aim at, just amusing.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Richard88</b></div><div>Avs were rumoured to be interested in Bernier as well when the JJ trade was a announced, but Berniers injury caused a hold up. Don't be surprised if they circle back on Bernier when he's healthy again.</div></div>
Bernier for sure would have been a better option, covering both bases and I certainly wouldn't be surprised if they did if he's fit and they're still dubious about Frankie. Likewise, under those circumstances Halak might then be of interest. But as I say, that's an if and when. Can't see an interest in Halak any more than they would have gone after JoJo if they'd got Bernier as it stands. All depends on what none of us know about Frankie.

Almost exactly what I have them at though most seem to think Makar will get more. At that however I think they might just be able to squeeze Saad in with the cap space and the Goodrow money, and a touch less on Jost. Also I'd expect Newhook to be in the mix somewhere.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Richard88</b></div><div>Avs absolutely have a need for a backup like Halak. At this stage counting on Francouz to come back and play at a sufficiently high level is a big risk. He's had 2-3 big injuries the last year, including a surgery (or two), and hasn't played a hockey game in 10 months. He shouldn't be relied upon to be anything more than a No.3 goalie, if he even comes back. The Johansson trade seems to be a trade to patch up the No.3 position until the deadline when they can acquire a legit backup.</div></div>
Disagree. The trade for JoJo seems to me to be a hold until Frankie is back. Avs only need Halak if Frankie isn't and as the Avs don't tell us what's happening........
