Yeah Colorado matches that and figures how to make the 15 mil cap space work for the 7 spots they'd need to fill.

yea this just a hope i wont be shocked if they find a way

Bolduc will definitely get the chance to make the team out of camp next season. I'm kinda skeptical that he will pull it off, and kinda assume he'll get the call-up at some point into the season. Either way, he will almost certainly not be playing center and he will definitely not be on the 4th line.

And dude... dropping Parayko to 3rd pairing and putting Krug top pairing is just ludicrous beyond belief. I mean, good grief, man.

i didnt mess with defensive lines mb imma edit that rq

Uhh pardon me, but signing this deal would leave Colorado with about 7.5M in cap space and they need to fill more like 11 slots. At least. Your math is waaay off.

Whew. I was gonna say... well... I guess I did say.

also who should play center on that 4th line just wondering

Open an ACGM of Colorado next year and sign Bowen to above deal and then tell me my math is off I'll wait. Forgot Landescog on LTIR my bad I apologize. Still think they match and go with a bunch of min contracts 1 year to allow the big cap jump

From this roster, I guess either Alexandrov or Walker, who actually looked pretty damn good there between Torp and Pitlick late in the season. Of course, if they ditch Krug or Leddy, they can just bring Acciari back.

Yep, you got there eventually. I use the regular team pages, because it includes a chart of current cap space outlook for future seasons.

so do you think bolduc plays 3rd line, blais 4th line? and walker centering blais and torpo

Could be. But like I said, I feel like Bolduc is going to need some games in the AHL first. Just to adapt to the speed difference. Maybe I'm being too conservative, but I'd guess a good 30-40 games unless a injury crisis arises. Hard to say, we have oodles of wingers right now.

he does need some pro level experience before he comes here i agree with that so if he starts in the ahl i wouldnt be shocked one bit

Avs can make up to 7m work before having to move core guys. It weakens the bottom 6, but that is an easier place to fill with no cap than top 6/4. Landy on ltir Kuch style maybe needed.

landeskog is also still hurt

I said that.

If this were to happen the Avs match and then celebrate getting Byram for that long. But I can't imagine Byram would sign that.

Bottom line is you'd need to go with much higher dollars in order to get him to sign and prevent a match imo.

Should be noted that he isn't going to leave a team well known for getting players the best treatment and actually looking out for them for the Sabres "steller" record dealing with injured players. They've been excellent with Bo and even allowed him to go sheep hunting(something they banned him from when he signed his elc). To go above n beyond, Avs signed Wilson knowing he wouldnt be able to play but could get him the help he needed if he was under contract.

I hope you're right but money talks too. But I feel like now isn't the time he'll look to bail and cash in. He has been treated well.

He wasn't raised like that. Can't get into it but, trust he will be an Av for his career or at the least wouldn't sign an offer sheet.

I would rather we go after Ke Ander Miller if we want to go the RFA route! I think NYR would have a harder time matching an offer.

Yo I made a Blues fan poll on this topic...
