Landeskog might go LTIR but Nichushkin will still be on the cap Avs will need to figure out their team without the extra 6mil

Also looking like Landy might be ready after camp as well

If they terminate Nichushkin's contract, will it have any cap consequences? And is it possible to just mutually terminate the deal with no penalty.

You’ll need to swap in your 2024 1st for the 5th round pick. Middleton gets a 1st on his own. Gus at 50% retained should get a 1st as well.

You can mutually terminate and have no consequence but, Nichushkin won't willingly walk away from 36mil

Avs can get Nichushkin's contract terminated without a mutal agreement but, the NHL has to approve it and consider what ever Nichushkin is doing (apparently drugs) is grounds to terminate and the NHLPA would probably appeal.

Ready for camp but, I have some doubt's he'll survive camp. For his sake I hope everything works out

wild aren't trading Jake Middleton. He's getting extended. For some reason, you have wild giving up Jake and Gus for a 2026 1st round pick also. In addition, you have wild retaining which means both player's get a 1st
