Thread: Keep Cale and Landy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DrumMan44</b></div><div>Rumor is Landeskog wants $60 million. To make that work at your AAV you have to stretch it out to 8 years., 7.5 million.

And I agree with the above about Raanta. Suck it up and pay Grubauer</div></div>

He can want it all day long, but given comps like RNH, Hall, and even Lee (before the flat cap) that’s some wishful thinking. I love Landy and all he brings, but he is at BEST currently the Avs 4th best player and who knows where that goes in the next 2 years but with Newhook and Byram on the team you would expect it to slide even further, and to expect effectively 10% of the cap on a winger who isn’t an individual play driver is a mistake. Will somebody on the open market do that? Seattle didn’t have any interest and they had $80M in cap space. Might somebody else? Probably, but honestly how rough do years 6, 7 and 8 look when he is 35, 36 and 37 yrs old making $8M. It will be unpopular but Sakic should stand his ground if that is really hat he is looking for.

Thread: Keep it simple improve at the trade deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>avsfan1985</b></div><div>I had a few iterations I was going through, what changes would you make to the lines?</div></div>

I’d slide Newhook to LW on the 2nd line letting him play center offensively and Kadri defensively like what they do often with MacK and Landy. Slide Jost to 3C where he was so good the last half of this season and a more typical spot for one of the primary PK guys, and I don’t know what the Avs are doing with Kaut but I’d put him at RW on the 3rd line with Jost and Nichushkin. With what you did on the 4th just slide Maltsev to the LW. Imo Byram is going to be a star and by the end of the year he is in the top 4, but with that d-Corp you can blender however you want to accommodate for the game situation, but I’d be inclined to keep EJ on the 3rd pairing to keep his minutes in check but that’s me nitpicking.
