Thread: Post cup AVS - Kadri leaves and core set up for more
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>UpsideDownQue</b></div><div>I don't agree with is the Sturm AAV. He should be closer to 1M, if not then go with Helm again or someone like him at 4C

I don't think Sakic will trade Macdermid right after extending him but that's a very minor move anyway so whatever

Aside from that this looks pretty good and is well thought out. Maybe add in a couple minor trades for prospect swaps (Kaut &amp; Bowers?)</div></div>

I agree on the Sturm AAV, and if Helm does not retire I too was impressed more by him these playoffs. I just thought since we traded Jost for Sturm that Sakic would give him year or two more.
I put trading MacDermid just as an option for 23/24 if Avs need a million more in cap space, but yeah, otherwise just keep him till the end.

And sadly I don't know much about other teams' prospects, but sure, I agree if it's not working here. Saw on some other post how Kaut's game is not really suitable for Bednar's system, so swapping them for fast and strong bottom 6 prospects maybe.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ArakinSkywalker</b></div><div>seems like a waste to just let manson walk to sign an old stas and gudbranson. I think there will be enough money, sakic will figure it all out</div></div>

I agree, but I think term will be the issue with him, this upcoming season I think the Avs could afford him for up to 4M, but later when Byram, Newhook, Toews and younger guys in bottom 6 I don't know how it will be possible. And since he is 30 I think he would like one more multiyear deal. I do hope Sakic figures something out cause he seems great partner to Girard.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>Sakic will negotiate hard, I’d throw the Rust contract at Nichushkin that gets his AAV down to 5.25, Lehkonen I’d throw years on it to get him down to $3.5, Statsny if you can’t get him to come for $2M he isn’t coming for $3.5M, Sturm is overpaid by about a $1M get rid of Gudbranson and resign Manson.</div></div>

Although yes, that could be one way to bring Manson back, save 1-1.5 M long term on Lehkonen and Nichushkin, and add it to Gudbransons 1.7, and almost there.
