<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NMAvsFan</b></div><div>Well, every team hopes that their young guys can come in and be impactful so they can keep costs down and re-sign their stars. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I agree that they can probably make it work and that every team that has big stars has to do a lot of juggling and will always be up against the cap. Zito has done a great job, for sure, much better than what was happening before. Guess we'll see what Barkov wants to do sometime this season.</div></div>

Colorado will have a TONNE of cap flexibility in 2022. Sakic can extend Mackinnon then to get a clear picture of the cap situation moving forwards. He can also try to extend Byram and Newhook like he did with Girard a year early. That offseason is set up for the Avs to be big players in UFA with Kadri, Burakovsky, Nichuskin, and Francouz all hitting UFA.

2022 is a great year to have that cap flexibility too given that there are so many star players hitting UFA (though some will be resigned before then), including Barkov, Hertl, Zibanejad, Couturier, Forsberg, Rakell, etc etc

Keep in mind that Barkov was a childhood Avs fan who grew up watching Sakic/Forsberg. He'll be well aware that a Mackinnon/Barkov duo back by a young cost-controlled core can do serious damage in the playoffs every single year they play together.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dad</b></div><div>I like the idea of the 1 - 2 punch but it wouldn't work with Barkov commanding that much AAV. If they could get him under 9.5 it'd make sense, that'd be difficult though.</div></div>

Why wouldn't it work? Capwise Avs have flexibility. Johnson's $6m coming off the books in 2023 pays for Mackinnon's raise. Byram and Newhook can both be bridged. Toews (pending UFA) may be a cap casualty but by that stage Byram will be established and can be bridged. We will have Barron and Helleson on ELC's. Lot's of forward prospects in the system on ELC's who can fill in around elite centers. Compher's $3.5m can be spent much better an expires in 2023. Also bear in mind that the cap should rise by the time Mackinnon's new deal kicks in. Also, Barkov may be happy with $10m or so, in line with Point, Kucherov, etc who got $9.5m, and Eichel who got $10m.

Sujet: How much of a negative value asset is Drouin
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>Untill camp opens and we all know what he was dealing with, he wont be traded with negative value or bought out.

He apparently is ready to come back so under that pretense, hes worth more to us than in a negative value trade. He hasnt asked for a trade and the team wont trade him for nothing. Hes still good just not what we hoped.

Im not even adverse to keeping him. We really need a speedy puck mover like him. Lots of goalscorers on this team now, need some passers to get it to them.

A player with the skill set of Drouin, if he comes back 100%, is kind of what we need right now so i think MB isnt trying to just dump his salary for nothing.</div></div>

Why not resign Tatar if you need a playmaker? You know he works well in Montreal with Gallagher.

Sujet: DeBrusk and Drouin
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>I don’t think trading the forward you expect to anchor your PK is a good move. Jost is finding his groove and I rightly think the Avs are expecting a lot from him. I agree with the comments above that right now Drouin has negative value, but that could change especially in a more relaxed environment and if he could be convinced to play just a modest amount of defense he could be an interesting add. I just can’t believe more Avs fans aren’t railing for another dman, because you are a single EJ injury away from having to play MacDer and MacDon as your 3rd pairing or forcing Barron into the line up before he is ready.</div></div>

I was gutted when Hakanpaa went to Dallas at $1.5m. That would have been such a perfect signing for the Avs even before trading Timmins. I definitely see a hole at 3RHD that needs to be filled, but perhaps Sakic has more faith in McKeown and Barron than we think. Stylistically both are good fits for that role at least, being big, mobile, and having PK ability. Only Demers is on the market now in terms of RHD so either you go for the LHD like Murray or you just wait until the deadline to solve it. A risk, but maybe they can get away with it until then.

Drouin would be far from ideal, but, he does have a contract that ends in 2023 which is good. Get some asset and/or retention on him in exchange for Compher and the 2nd line does have more upside, if still being a little soft.
