Sujet: Big mac
Mac, who has never scored more than 99 points and hasn't won any major awards, cannot possibly think he's worth more than McDavid. Hell, Tkachuk and Gaudreau, two guys that actually have scored 100 points, just signed for under $10M per. Mac does play a premium position so maybe that's worth another million in AAV but if they're having to trade off big pieces just to keep him around, he's got to know that greatly diminishes their chances to win more Cups.

Dater was most likely talking out his ass when he "reported" that Mac wants to be the highest-paid player in the league but we are over a month out from the Cup final and not too far away from camp. If that means he and the Avs are far apart on a deal, then they just need to trade him and get back some younger, big pieces they can use to make more Cup runs with the rest of the core. I realize that's blasphemy to some but he can't be allowed to hold the team and their ability to ice a Cup-worthy squad for ransom. All that said, I don't believe Dater is correct; I do think they will reach a deal that works for both sides prior to camp.

Sujet: 2nd Line Center
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KyBull</b></div><div>I like Toews but he's coming off his two worst goal-scoring seasons and his worst offensive season, granted Chicago was a very poor team. He's also 34 and will be 35 come playoff time, would still cost the Avs $5mm+ and a solid player in JT and a fist-round pick. I think there are better options still available to the Avs. Now, if we're talking about Kane.....</div></div>

Toews is coming off of missing a season the year before last with long covid. He improved quite a bit as the season wore on. Keep in mind the year prior to long covid he had one of his best seasons. That said, Toews is stout faceoff guy, 2 way power center and one of the best defensively. He was never really know to be a super high goal scorer or point produce, more of a great all around player in his day. If you look at his first few years in the league where he did score more, most of those goals were in the dirty area in front of the net. That said, no need to move a 1st, make it a 2nd and wait 25% into the season when his cap drops further due to proration.

Regarding Kane, this package certainly wouldn't land Kane, but i'm sure you are aware of that
