Sujet: If they had only been able to pull this off
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nikolay_Zherdev</b></div><div>Bro that’s just pointless this was a rumored deal that the avs didn’t want to make. Don’t talk about stupidity that revolves around nothing. Saying Jt for kakko is baseless. Whether or not the Kreider deal happened doesn’t change the fact that their was interest for both sides but the price was too steep</div></div>

There was no newhook for Kreider rumour. Maybe look in the mirror when you start talking about baseless statements bc that deal was never ever discussed or a rumour.
The only "rumour" was that the Rangers wanted the 16th overall pick from the Avs that one offseason and they didnt entertain it for a second.

So Newhook for kreider was never a rumour bc it was a draft pick, Rangers could have selected Thomas Harley or anyone else after that...draft pick doest mean same selection. Rangers over valued Krieder in trying to move him twice.

Sujet: If Johnson Waives
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15</b></div><div>Johnson is waiving or getting bought out because Toews is getting protected along with Makar and Girard. No way COL does 4-4-1 because then they are losing Burakovsky. Seattle is picking from Graves, Donskoi, Compher or Francouz because Sakic is going to want to have a contract picked for cap space. Also the Avs are going to do whatever it takes to sign Makar to an 8yr deal because even if it is $10M he is 1 the 2nd most important player on the team and 2 $10M in 3 years while not a bargain is going to look a lot better than having to do another extension for him one year after giving MacKinnon his monster deal. Also Anderson isn’t the answer and he sure isn’t getting a $1m more AAV than Lehner.</div></div>

My sense is that Bura could be the one to be left unprotected if they went 8 skaters (if EJ doesn't waive). If they had him in their long-term plan, they would have signed him to a longer deal; I bet Bura would have taken 4 years around same price or maybe even less.

A buyout of EJ, should he not waive (I believe he will), is a terrible idea in a flat cap situation, with big contracts to hand out and in a window of contention. They just cannot afford that much dead money while trying to win Cups.

Agree about Anderson - dude just can't seem to get it done in the playoffs. If Gru stays healthy and plays well in the playoffs (hopefully winning a Cup), he's the guy for the foreseeable future.

It's going to be interesting to see what happens with Makar (and Hughes and Heiskanen for that matter) this year given the flat cap and each team's financial situation (Avs are in the best shape so far as I can tell). Locking him in for 8 years would be ideal but Chabot set the market high and Makar (and Hughes and Heiskanen) are more valuable so they may want to sign bridge deals and hope the cap goes up in a few years so they can get more money.
