Selling High

Turn COL's 3rd into a 1st and SJ accepts. I'm not against your logic though, I think the team should think hard about selling high on Meier but only if the price is right.

avs decline, Meier has a 10m QO the same season Mackinnon needs a new contract, they are not taking on that cap time bomb

Move Vlasic, Burns, and Karlsson. That would probably fix the majority of your issues. Just don't know who will want to take any of those monster contracts.

It has to be a massive overpay or it’s not worth it

It would cost too much to move even Vlasic's contract. 5 more years at 7M with a NMC for a guy who's a 3rd pairing D at best and declining.



Newhook would be an excellent piece for SJ's future I don't think Avs need to add.



Timo walks for nothing if you hold onto him. SJS have too many bad contracts to be true cup contenders over the next 2 years. The longer you hold onto Timo the more his value drops.
