Middlestadt will be making probably double that

Any team is going to have to pay more than they are willing to in order to get Jiricek out of Columbus.

Jiricek is untouchable. Will take an overpay for the jackets to trade him. Colorado doesn’t have any assets they’d be willing to move to get him

Bjugy is a .5 PPG player on a cheap deal, two way 20 goal centers cost more than a 26 2nd and 4th especially with retention

AZ easy pass - 2 picks in 3 years plus retaining for a defensive middle 6C (on 47pt pace) no thanks from AZ

Avs decline all trades. This is a joke.

@Dillpickle
Mittelstadt will cost double that- it’s why the Sabres decided to trade him

For 2x3 for Mitts, He'd still be in Buffalo and not Colorado. He's not taking no discount

Right, but then its a simple Manson trade & then Jiricek makes much more sense. Next year trade G & Behrens is already there as backfill; you just UFA the 6th D.

Unless he does a bridge deal like byram did.

The Avs nor Mittlestadt will do a bridge, because he is arb eligible he can just accept the QO and walk, my bet is a 4 year deal.

I think 3 year 4.5. I'd landy is on LTIR then I say sign him long term but I'd do a bridge so they can resign some players if they can. They need all the cap they can.

One website predicts if you do a bridge it would be 2-3 years 4 million.

The long term is between 5-8 year at 5.75. If that's the case, might as well do long term.

A second and possibly a third is way too much for a 4c. No one in their right mind pays that.

Mitts doesn’t want that though
Again, that’s why the Sabres traded him

Also, if u guys do get him to agree to a bridge deal,
then it takes him right to being a UFA
And that that point, he’ll want even more $$$

By that time the cap space will be high.

As I previously stated. There was an article stating Mittlestadt could take 2-3 year 4 million bridge deal

Or

5-8 year 5.75 million.

Supposedly he wanted 7x7 in Buffalo
Best of luck to get him cheaper
But I’ll believe it when i see it

He held his ground so firmly that we decided to trade him
So keep that in mind with your expectations
