Thread: Where to go from here
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>brady_t12</b></div><div>Montreal is the one team I could see having serious interest in Schultz after LTIRing Weber. Plus the cap space from losing Danault and the unknowns with Drouin and Price make it more plausible that the Habs can take on a contract like Schultz's. One year left, reasonable cap hit (maybe just a teensy bit too high, but not a dump by any means). He could quarterback the PP and is not far removed from a couple of cup runs with the Pens. Could be a great guy in the locker room and on the ice for a young competitive team looking to make another deep run.</div></div>

Completely agree with this. Schultz won't be difficult to move given only 1 year remaining and a managable cap hit. We might not get a lot, but I don't think we need to pay anyone to take him.

It also makes sense to keep him for the same reasons, TVR and Jensen are good, but may not be top 4 RHD material. Schultz has 1 year left, management might take a gamble with him. Instead GMBM might pay teams to take Dillion and/or Hags. I think Hags could probably be replaced by a guy like Jonsson-Fjällby, and Dillion seemed pretty ineffective in most games I watched.

Trading Kempny will be near impossible. Best case is he lands back on LTIR somehow.

Its going to be an interesting offseason.

Thread: Rebuild time
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ArakinSkywalker</b></div><div>It would be nice to have vanecek, as we do like getting goalies from washington, i don't think kuz is the type of player sakic would target.

I think those are all very valid points. My idea behind is is purely the Avs are primed to win, and needs to win in the next 3 yrs. Kuzy, I agree, isn't Sakic's type of player, but I also think he's done very well with another similar Russian in Nichushkin. Kuzy, imo can shiny in the shadows of MacKinnon - sort of like a Malkin to the Crosby.

Newhook, I agree is a very exciting prospect for the Avs, but will take a few years to step into a 2C role if he's capable. I think deep winning teams like the Avs do eventually give away prospects for the need to win immediately.

Not saying it's fair value, I'm no expert. Just saying its a move that makes sense for both teams that should be going very opposite directions.
