Coltons AVV comes in higher then that likely pricing out Sundqvist. Unless you want to run a 22 man roster to sign Sundqvist to this deal. Can't see Tampa trading him away if this is the deal Colton gets, closer to 3.5-4M is more realistic for a long term deal.

I'd also imagine Drouin gets a good look in the top 6 to start out which allows colton to centre the thrid line making it a very hard line to play against.

Comtois and Sundqvist are two of the many targets the Avs could look at but Colton gets more and until that's in place I don't see the rest of the roster falling in place. Stastny & Stralman are 'meh' at this point in their careers.

The above comments are right and Drouin is. It a center

It was said above. But I’m mostly unsure why the Avs would be paying for scratches in comtois and stralman when ahlers with unconditional waivers are essentially equivalent replacements

Defensively we don't have anyone that is ready from the minors except malinski.
I agree about the callus with forward tho. They got olofsson meyers foudy. No need for comtois

hunt can handle it. Waivers if there's a longer-term IR issue. but yeah, same page.
