Makes sense. One thing to remember is pressure from the NHLPA to make more. I hope you're right but am also setting my expectation conservatively

With three scratches there's still plenty of cap space if the market demands more. I just wonder what went wrong in OTT?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles5513</b></div><div>I think they r on his list. I think there will be a significant amount of push back from Soroky if the isles trade Varly unless they find him a new Russian friend. One of the main reasons I’d be so interested in acquiring Nichushkin this off season since they played together in the KHL. I’d also be ok with Zadarov and Lyubushkin depending on the cost of signing them.</div></div>
Z would be the perfect Islander. He needs a team that values physicality.

I can see Trochek joining, but not also with ER. That roster spot needs to be on an expiring deal to afford a raise for Byram or Newie.

I'd say the sky's the limit. Byram takea over PP2 to give G and his bad back a rest. Newhook finally earns his veteran card and rides with Lehkonen on line two.
See, Bednar is a smart man. He knows once you enter the NHL head coach fraternity, you are a lifetime member. In the NHL, like many other industries, its all about trust and who you know. All these recycled coaches: DeBoer, Bowness, Maurice, etc, they have stuck around because they honored the members only club, and have made millions doing so.
Jared won't do anything to risk that membership, or even bad credit score, by playing a rookie over a respected vetetan, in a top six role. Imagine, instead of JT Compher consistently getting 2C last season when MacK and Naz were out, it was Newhook. Then imagine if Newhook fails in that role, and the team falls short due to that choice. Whenever Bednar has to sell himself to a GM, he would have to explain that decision. This is why, in every similar scenario, the coach goes with the vetetan, much to fan anger. Newhook is ready to take the next step and is bursting at the seams. He looks so fast, so skilled, that he might score 70 pts as COL 2C next season, after Naz leaves.
The Avs have treated both Byram and Newhook with white gloves. Byram was a monsterous offensive force for VAN his draft year. After going 4th ovetall to COL, they gave him a mandate to focus on defense, and to be more of a two way guy, an NHL defenseman, going forward. Next Giants season he had more modest point totals, as he took that mandate to heart. This is well documented within the Avs online community. You look at his NHL play so far, its been very mature. But he started the 21-22 season on fire until his injury, making me think he's ready for a huge breakout.
Newhook was also given that mandate as a bigtime scorer in college. His first games last playoffs, you could see his defensive commitment, a style he embraced this year as well. This, combined with limited minutes, kept his point totals down this year (although he hilariously matched JTC points). Newhook looked good in his limited top six mins, but I predict he explodes next season as 2C for 60+ pts. And then this bridge will also look like a steal from McFarland (who I expect to succede Sakic soon).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>littlejerryseinfeld</b></div><div>What kind of seasons are you expecting from Byram and newhook to earn those deals?</div></div>
Byram showed tremendous ability these playoffs. The key is remaining healthy, and the Avs recognized that by granting him his leave of absence to recover from concussion. COL front office sees him as the Seabrook to their Keith, in Makar. So I think he continues his ascension and this kind of deal, while necessary for cap reasons, looks like an absolute steal from new GM Chris McFarland.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NickC1988</b></div><div>He's spoken publicly multiple times stating he'll take less money to win again. Landeskog took a pay cut, Makar took a pay cut, Mackinnon will follow suit.</div></div>
Well, Landy got a raise but it was also less than the market offered him. Makar got a very fair deal as an RFA; remember Karlsson got only $6.5M on his 2nd deal. Mack could command $13M on the open market; I'd consider "taking less" to be around $11M.
