It's a nice pick up for AZ in looking to add some offense.
As for COL, they have a lot of their own people to sign yet. I wouldn't be spending the cash just yet on UFA.
I guess Sakic was happy that some team would take his full contract. Coyotes wins this trade but I guess this will be a good trade for the Avs as well in like a week from now
Could be. If they add Panarin, Kadri would be a good addition as 2C. Either Panarin or Rantanen will feed him then, and Kadri proved that he can score a lot when he's playing with the right players
They have 10 players to sign and $39M in available space.
Rantanen could get $10M
Kerfoot about $4.5M for say 4 years
Compher about $3.5M for say 4 years
That leaves $21M and they still need to sign 7 guys.
I suppose Sakic COULD go fishing in the big pond, couldn't he. It will be interesting to see if he makes a big splash next week.

dont forget zadorov
Kerfoot and Compher will likely sign for a bit less (Kerfoot 3x3.75m and Compher 2x3m or something like that).
Not really sure after this trade that COL will bring Zadorov back (I hope they will). They have a couple of prospects which are ready or almost ready to enter the league (like Timmins and Byram) and they just added a LD.
