Wennberg is unlikely to take anything less than $3.5m AAV and even that is pretty low. He's not a 50pt player but good defensively and a decent playmaker. He also does not play at the pace that the Avs prefer. Basically he's RyJo 2.0. We are not doing that again.
Also I can't see Walker taking less than $4 5m AAV unless it's a contender discount.
So I just don't even see how the scenario even appeals to the Avs.
If Landeskog is out then we'll make a run at Drouin & Walker in that order most likely.
Idk he's not having a strong season rn and the offers may not be that high from contenders. The smart move may be go to Avs on a 1 year deal than cash out again
Like what he did when he signed a 1 year deal in FLA then got 4.5m with SEA
I went to check that on the NHL app, it says there have been 156 PIM (NJD 82, NYR 74), but there have been no penalties taken, 7 1/2 minutes into the 1st. Unsurprisingly, Matt Rempe earned 15 PIM in just 2 seconds of ice time
Matt Rempe career vs NJD
Game 1: 0:13 TOI, 17 PIM, headshot, fight, ejection
Game 2: 4:48 TOI, 15 PIM, headshot, fight, ejection, suspension
Game 3: 0:02 TOI, 15 PIM, fight, ejection

I could see a 2.5-2.8m 1 year deal
Regardless of contract he is not a fit for Avs playstyle. I like Wennberg but he is an East-West type of player not a North-South guy. There are better fits for him than the Avs
The Sharks win the Collin Graf sweepstakes! Funny how it's been reported at length that it would be an Eastern conference team that would get him. Very solid pickup for the Sharks, he will be an NHL regular next season and will finish out the regular season as a Shark. Definitely strengthens their already strong prospect pool
They were to passive during the ELC era of this team. Could have traded picks earlier and filled in the holes sooner
2017-2019 was the prime chance and they let it go as the flat cap forced them to make tougher choices after. Caps going back up and come 2026 JT is off the books.
This is where they need to take full advantage
As in the end cup wins are not always quick look how long it took WSH and TBL to get. Cause in the end competitive teams do not always rely on prospects. Often they are traded away with picks to add help now
VGK from their start till now where be the prospects?
I'm afraid one can't compare an expansion team to a regular team, but even then, one must note that throughout the years they have had way more playoff success than the Leafs.
As for TB, well simply put, they made the 1st for Goodrow and a 3rd and Foote(Bust) and a 1st for Coleman when they were in their window. There was no indication AT ALL the Leafs's window was open in 2018, none whatsoever. So you're comparing apples to oranges here mate...
Might get bashed for this but I think this summer Carolina is gonna buyout KK. I dont think they gonna want to pay to dump and it makes sense rn.
His buyout is stupid good for them and with the Kuznetsov trade they have a replacement and lets be real his 4m it can be better used elsewhere
Like its basically 8 years of 835k and 4 years of 455k cap hit for CAR
They might depending on how desperate they are for money, idk if I really expect them to tho. They have sometime before he turns 26 and his buyout goes from a 1/3 cost to a 2/3 cost. I personally think they should wait. If KK can be the player he was last year, and at the start of this year his contract isn't a bad one with where the cap is headed.

If they can re-sign a couple of their pending UFAs with that buyout savings they prettymuch have to do it IMO.
I hope the Pittsburgh Washington game goes to OT and they both make the playoffs. Give me NYR-Was and Car-Pens please.
Dollar says the cup goes to the Atlantic Division. Any takers?
The Atlantic division (or at least the top of the Atlantic division) has been stupidly stack for years now. Boston, Tampa, Toronto and more recently Florida.

Well they have a bunch of guys on expiring deals and with Kuznetsov no real need for KK anymore
RFA's
Drury
Necas
Jarvis
UFA's
Teräväinen
Guentzel
Noesen
Martinhook
Pesce
Jarvis, Necas, and Guentzel wont come cheap
They have 30m but thats gonna get eaten up quick by those 3. Buying him out gives em 34m

If it means being able to keep Guentzel, sure it could be considered. Not totally sure what their cap situation looks like rn know they have a ton of UFA's tho so it will be interesting. I would want the Flyers to jump all over that if he became a UFA.
