No to signing Walker at that price, and most of those UFA signings are high. Keep Manson instead. Landy won't be back to start the season I reckon and the Avs almost certainly need to keep some cap in hand to activate Nuke before moving or terminating him.

This defense would be incredibly soft. Keep Manson and sign a veteran DD to pair with Malinski.

Woof, you traded Manson at below value, replaced him with a higher cap hit in Walker and gave almost $2M to Zaitsev who is absolutely atrocious and is never healthy. Check out his 5v5 CF numbers. You actively made the defense worse than if they did nothing. And Duhaime at $2.3M? I wouldn’t pay home $1.3M, you maybe give him the LOC contract if $1.05M. No bueno.
