I think Landeskog would take Anders Lee's money and stay (cause he kinda is like Anders Lee to me).

do you have a link to the projections?

I believe its behind a paywall, but if you go to Evolving-hockey.com you might be able to find them

evolving's projections are always notoriously high. So really this is worst worst case scenario,

Also in no way is compher an actual camp dump that they have to give a draft pick to take. If a guy like Stepan who was a train wreck could still get a 2nd round pick, avs dont have to give up assets to get rid of compher

ok. thanks.

also the Landy projection is him singing with a different team, so re-signing with the avs would probably be cheaper

I dont think so, remember the patrick Marleau deal. The leafs had to move on from him in order to sign Marner. If the Avs want to bring back Grubauer, Makar AND Landy. They might need to give up assets in order to make sure overpaid role players are moved off the team

The EW contracts are that so I won’t comment on those. Compher isn’t remotely a cap dump so that’s a bad move. McDonald is significantly better than Miller, actually Miller and Kampf are literal waste of money, that they are better off letting internal options grow into the roles. Kamenev might come back to the NHL but he won’t sign with COL. What happened to EJ?

No they won’t. I don’t want to see it but Makar is going to bridge, they lose say Graves in XD and there is a minimum $6M in space. EJ is missing here so that’s a little weird.

They are on avg 500k higher, especially last offseason they were high on almost every major singing

Marleau was a 35 year old washed up player making 6.5m. That is not even remotely close to compher. He’s not a negative asset

Stepan only had one year left and only cost Ottawa 2 million in actual money.

And was awful, in no way was he worth giving up a 2nd round pick for but he still got one
