McCabe isn’t worth more than a 2nd, not much more anyways

Depends if BUF wants to win in the playoffs or try to win 7-6 every night instead...

Thread: Best Avs Team Ever

uh, Deadmarsh was traded for Blake. Klemm played F and current assistant coach Nolan Pratt was on D. Dingman was 4th line enforcer.

the 2001 team was a bunch of grinders. Today's squad would demolish this team.

Horvat is a tenured, veteran forward with leadership. Something the Isles are lack... oh.

Thread: Jonathan Toews

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>I really think one year deals for Byram and Newhook are in all parties worst interest.</div></div>

They are RFAs without arb. Salary cap not going up very much. $4M seems to be the sweet spot to spend on 2C, like Toews or Rodrigues. 4 & 18 can get big raises, and hopefully big contracts the next season, with a bigger cap.
RN, I'm not sure you can say "definitely" trade Girard away to make room for either 4 or 18 on a big contract. IMO

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>I'm pretty sure the Hawks would just rather keep Toews. I haven't heard he's forcing his way out and a 3rd isn't enough. Those two players aren't of any interest.</div></div>

IMO CHI should turn over a new leaf this summer with their leadership group. They clearly are tanking as hard as possible. As an Avs fan who has seen what happens when youngsters are blocked by older, lesser veterans, I expect CHI to not want those kinds of disasters. SJ did the same thing.

Thread: Colorado shocks NHL at TDL

Credit Newhook for 7pts in the last 8 games. 12 goals only one away from last yr total; looking like he'll ecplise 40pts. Hoping he keeps it up, playing well with LOC & Cogs, & takes that momentum into the playoffs.

Thread: Crystal Ball

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skyraider112</b></div><div>He will be an elite player until he's well into his 30s, his skating and IQ ensure that. The Avs D core is much thinner without him, and deep strong D-cores are what ultimately make teams have deep and successful playoff runs.</div></div>

He's already got a ton of miles. Two years ago, his first in COL, Bednar played him too much & he lost effectiveness when playoffs came. This season its the same thing, making lazy, uncharacteristic errors as he tries to manage his energy level. He'd be asking to double his salary & contract length. At that point he may only have a couple elite years left, and then he'll start being Ryan McDonaugh.

Thread: Crystal Ball

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skyraider112</b></div><div>Imo trade Girard for a better option than Wennberg at center, that opens up 8.5 mil (5 mil of Girard, 3.5 of Wennberg) use most if not all of that money to resign Toews</div></div>

I like Toews but he'll be 29 to start his new deal. I bet the Avs prefer Byram to blow up so they let Toews walk. Re-signing him looks like Pietrangelo which is not ideal.

Thread: Crystal Ball

I like the Englund deal. I think the stage is set for him to get a LOC type of deal from the Avs like you have here. I might put him in the starting six.

Forum: Armchair-GMJan. 25 at 2:25 p.m.

Thread: Crystal Ball

Rumblings that Byram wants to be The Man. Not sure he goes for a bridge. I could see a cheap, 1yr deal in 23-24 due to cap squeeze, his injury, and lack of Arb. Gives them time to sort out Toews. In 24-25, I see a big money deal OR another 1yr Prove It deal for Bo

Thread: Buncha Cheetahs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LafayetteAvsFan</b></div><div>Just the Horvat problem with a different guy but even more expensive. Would the Avs (or anyone) love to have Timo? Of course. But they can't mortgage the future for half a year of the guy and they sure as heck don't have $10M a year to re-sign him beyond this season (let alone $8M-$8.5M a year to resign Horvat if they did this with him).</div></div>

pure rental, they keep Newhook, and can still re-sign ERod or JTC. I think rental is the way to go, honestly.

Thread: Horny for this one lol

EK66 has four more years after this one. Even with retention, this is a potential contender killer... Just ask SJ about Vlasic.

Forum: Armchair-GMJan. 25 at 10:54 a.m.

Thread: Gimme Gimme Meier

I have a feeling SJ accepting less for Timo. It's a buyer's market for rentals and worse-comes-to-worse a team can just sign him in UFA.

Like you can get Nyquist with retention for much less and still get a productive, scoring winger
