That is a lot of long contracts at high prices - can't see them doing those deals for Bura or Trochek; Nuke can be had for less money if he's getting 8 years but I doubt they'd sign him for that long. And signing Keumps for that long at his age at that price is a non-starter. They've got Mac, Bo and Newhook to resign with only $19M so that would be really tight. Also, why are you trading Barron for Robertson straight across? First off, I'd think the Avs keep Barron and second, he looks to be far more valuable that Robertson; that's a trade that massively favors the Leafs.

That cap space tho lmao. Also trocheck might wanna stay with the Canes.

No to the Barron trade. All the contacts are stupid. Sakic isn’t giving $128M in contracts to Trochek, Burakovsky and Nichushkin that’s just insane. Just re-sign Kadri don’t bother with Trochek and let one of Burakovsky or Nichushkin. If the Avs let Kadri walk that means they think Newhook is ready for 2C and wouldn’t sign Trochek even to a non insane one.
