<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Altar7358</b></div><div>No I was able to fit in 21. Signed Tyler motte Freddie olofsson Calvin de haan Caleb jones and Chris Driedger while bringing up kovalenko come deadline they probably want a 3rd pair d and 4c which with retention shouldn’t be to hard to get. Girard would also bring back a 1st and a prospect I think especially being on pace for 40 points on pp2. Would suck ass to lose him but it makes sense</div></div>

Had to try it, and yes there is 28K left with a 21 man roster filled with league minimum. So yeah, theoretically it’s possible. But will be kinda hard to manage call ups and injuries..

The following year you will lose Lehky, Manson, LOC and Kovalenko in addition of Girard the prior year and they will all be replaced by league minimum. So sure, it’s doable but it seems kinda unlikely to tear up the roster like that? All for a 2C (that we dont even know is a great fit). Really not the way of handling business the FO has shown previously.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Altar7358</b></div><div>You don’t have to trade 2 of them outside of RyJo. They’d have to fill the 4th line and 3rd pair with minimum guys until the deadline. If they really wanted to not do that they trade Girard and lehkonen for futures extend Drouin to replace him at a lower cap hit. I don’t think they need to do that though. I think they probably have to trade lehky the next year to keep Mikko and byram though</div></div>

Have you made a 2024/2025 roster moving only 1 piece (RyJo not counted), Manson or Girard?

Replacing Lehkys production/contributions at a similar/lower cap hit seems very hard. Even coming close to what he brings seems very difficult.

My opinion on this is pretty clear. Unless Landy retires, the Avs will have a very hard time adding a expensive 2C without some SERIOUS roster restructure.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Altar7358</b></div><div>They’d have to move RyJo I’d imagine in the original mittelstadt deal then move one of Girard, Manson or lehkonen. Lose one good player and a bad one for 2c of the future. Easier to find a middle 6 wing than it is to find a 50-60 point 2c</div></div>

Yes, RyJo is inevitably going to have to be moved. This season or in the offseason, it has to happen.

For Mittelstadt to work at 7M it requires that you get rid of two of those contracts, not one. For example, Manson AND Girard. Which means that you have a massive problem at D. And that’s just next year. How do you solve Mikkos and Byrams extensions the following year? Please, feel free to play around with it, because i can’t find any resonable way to make it work..

This offer is weak, but Sabre ACGM's rejected this https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/797810?post_id=4665438</div></div>

Thinking Mittelstadt is untouchable is a little bit weird. I agree with you on that. The thing here is that the Avs and the Sabres are no good fit atm. COL doesn’t have the pieces you guys most likely would want in a trade involving Mittelstadt. Which probably would mean that COL would have to overpay. And sure that could have been an option if there was any resonable way of extending him, but there really isn’t. Not without making really big changes in the roster. But sure, i agree with the point you’re making.
