Sujet: What I think it would take for Eichel to work in Colorado from cap perspective
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>I think its just too convenient for 2 of the biggest UFAs to both take money off their deals. Just the Makar thing....making him take a bridge is going to hurt down the line, to the point you major contracts to deal with in Mack 2 years down the line, then Makar again, then Rantanen....at that point the team will be pretty much dismantled to keep those guys

Try to get the makar deal done now so you dont have to rip apart the team every offseason bc you have 10m in eichel that you reallydont need bc if you believe in newhook, whats the point.
If you dont believe in newhook then thats a different story</div></div>

I believe in Newhook, but few are as good as Eichel.

That's beside the point though. You should love this post because the whole point of it is that Eichel is a bridge too far. It's basically illustrating what you reply on every Eichel to Colorado post.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>villenash</b></div><div>If Eichel goes to COL (which he won't), Newhook would have to be going back to BUF. He would be redundant in COL at that point and would be much more valuable to BUF who just lost their top center. Cozens - Newhook would be their future</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MJCrv</b></div><div>I think that’s a pretty good offer for Eichel. I like Kaut more than newhook, but I wonder if the Sabres would want the center instead.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>that was my point about adding eichel, you have to move out as much money as you take in with him. and with how grubauer is playing, I think he could maybe even get 6m, closer to what Markstrom got in UFA.

I think that landeskog contract is about 1m too low and bridging Makar is a bad idea, its going to hurt the team really bad down the line, you try to get the long term deal done now.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMs</b></div><div>Landeskog will get way more than Kreider/Gallagher</div></div>

See description. I'm not in disagreement with the points being made.

Sujet: Backlund Bennett
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Richard88</b></div><div>Mackinnon, Rantanen, Landeskog, Kadri, Burakovsky, Backlund, Bennett
Makar, Girard, Toews

Exposed: Donskoi, Jost, Nichuskin, Graves, Johnson, Francouz

With Compher gone there wouldn't be as much pressure on needing Seattle to take a $3m contract. There's also some redundancy with Jost and Nichuskin so either one who gets taken wouldn't be back-breaking. Alternatively you could expose Bennett and just treat him as a rental this year; he's an RFA though which reduces the chances of getting taken too given that Seattle can only take up to 10 RFA's in the expansion draft.

Backlund would absolutely not be exposed. I'd rather have a high end 3C than Saad personally. Decent and cheap middle 6 wingers are much easier to find than a good 3C as well.</div></div>

Thst assumes Johnson waives, which I hope happens but I'm not counting on it either. That aside, someone with a decent salary probably still needs to go (Graves or Don, if not both) since this adds cap. Would have to run year two and see.

Sujet: Tierney Savard DeSmith
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Richard88</b></div><div>If they acquire a 3C who can PK and win draws then Bellemare is redundant. They'd have 3C, Jost, Nichuskin, and Calvert/Donskoi on the PK which would be enough.</div></div>

I don't see it that way. Quite the opposite actually. The fourth line has often been one of the best lines the team has. They haven't been able to finish but have done everything else. And obviously Bellemare is a big part of that. The other strength of the team has been the D.

Here we basically mess with two things that are working pretty well, when all that's really needed is a 3C to hold the bottom six together. It's too much (imo).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMs</b></div><div>Savard won’t come cheap</div></div>

Yes and that's why I said above that it's aiming too high. There are diminishing returns when you force a guy like Graves to either sit or play fewer minutes. It's an expensive move for only marginal improvement.

Having a few competent depth defensemen is enough when you already have 6 guys who are capable of filling a top 4 role. Adding a 7th top 4 guy is overkill.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Richard88</b></div><div>They can roll 12 - 6 for the rest of the regular season when games aren't must-win, while rotating Dmen to keep them fresh. Injuries will probably force rotation anyways. Then in the playoffs with a healthy lineup you roll with the strongest possble lineup. The bottom 6 has too many forwards who don't produce offensively, so it's pretty easy to drop one and just rotate them in and out depending on needs. I mean, do we really need Bellemare playing 10 minutes a night? Or can those minutes be distributed to others who can have a bigger impact?</div></div>

I'll think about it more but I tend not to like the 7D approach. Bellemare, for example, may not eat a ton of minutes but he plays PK and takes important draws. That would be missed.

If Savard is cheap the I guess sure. Too many defensemen isn't the worst problem to have. Kaut is a fair amount to give though, even for a guy that is not all that high on him). I'm coming around a bit though.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Richard88</b></div><div>As mentioned above, the 1st for Tierney has as much to do about moving Compher's awkward contract as it does about Tierney himself.

I disagree on Savard though. Adding him would insulate the Avs D group and give them a legit physical force on D in matchups against the likes of Vegas, LA, St. Louis, etc. They also wouldn't be completely dependent on Johnson staying healthy, and would give them 3 good PKers in Graves, Savard, and Johnson. This is the Avs best cup chance and they can't be pinning their hopes on Johnson's health.</div></div>

Graves on the bench is a waste to me. He's too good for that. I like many of your posts but this isn't one of them.

I do appreciate that you illustrate it may be tougher to get Compher's contract off the books than we tend to think. I really hope it's not that tough though.
