No, we have dumba. So we aren't taking on subban. Dumba looks to be back next year also. Addison is back in AHL

Slight overpay from COL.
Helleson would be enough for Zacha

Retain some salary not a ton and I think the Avs do that.

Yeah, I snuck Ambrosio in there since he is one the more fun players to watch on Eagles.

Isn't the major danger with college kids they can just threaten to wait until they graduate and then sign with whomever they want?

Sure (not my money)
Devils have almost retained in recent deadlines, so can't imagine they wouldn't again.

Its some risk, and could be an issue with the 5th year added for some guys.
But most guys do sign.

We will trade the rights to Ambrosio for the rights to Jakub Malek

I should have added, trade happens after tonight...lol. Forgot we were playing Colorado.

I agree, but if the Devils tossed like a mid round pick back so the avs can use that as a TDL currency, no issues giving up both

Always a lot of fun when fans of other teams notice our prospects. I just started noticing Ambrosio this year. I think Zacha is a good call for the Avs.



Love this, I agree.

Meh. Subban seems like a great guy off the ice and he brings a lot of flare to this sport that we need more of (IMO), but I've never been a big fan of his game. I'd rather try to trade McBain for an asset we will have for the long-term (like a pick/another prospect) over a rental

Gawd, PK and Dumba on the same team would be so much fun. Too bad it’ll never happen. I love it.

I like Zacha. I think I may have been the first on this site to suggest Zacha to the Avs. However, I disagree with other Avs fans above. I don't think the move Helleson for Zacha. Ranta, Kaut, Foudy, etc. are on the table, but I honestly think Helleson will only be moved in a package for a bigger fish.

I could be totally wrong here though.
