<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rA9_Messiah</b></div><div>The team that's gonna pay 8 M $ for Kadri is in for a rude awakening that Kadri is a 50-60 pts scorer and that this is a career year. As for the money , I think the Avs do their best to trade Erik Johnson and JT Compher this offseason to replace them with cheaper option . They should be able to save about 4.5 M between the 2 of them which should cover the increase in salary of Kadri and Kuemper. I think the player they lose in Nichushkin for sure. He's due for a pretty big increase himself .</div></div>

You are right that someone is in for a rude awakening on Kadri but its gonna happen.

JTC is traded IMO and EJ gets a buyout. I think they are resigning Nuke. I could see a $5x5.... Would like to see them nudge it down on AAV and get 6 years (for example)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DirtyDangle</b></div><div>nah that's just a stacked team. bednar's system allows for more cross ice passes and breakaways, i mean just look at the knights series. bednar's game is all about transition and is comfortable trading chances.</div></div>

That is partially true. But looking strictly at the Vegas series is not a way to get a good idea of what the Avs want to do. Vegas was trying to play their game as well and at times dominated. There is a reason that Vegas was effectively tied for the presidents trophy.

When the Avs are imposing their style, they are not trading chances. In addition to fewest SOG against, they were #2 in SOG for. Most games through out the season were mid to upper 30s SOG while the other team often could barely muster low 20s. They are very much a puck possession team with a strong transition D that activate often.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RawZuccSauce420</b></div><div>Sort of but I disagree to an extent. Hertl will get more money than Kadri because he’s a much better player and would definitely re-sign with us if not traded. Hertl can function as a legit 1C, I don’t see Kadri doing the same. So Hertl’s value is reasonably higher than Kadri’s (AKA more than Kaut and a 5th). That’s even more true after how Kadri played/screwed the Avs in the playoffs this year.

To add on, the Sharks would never trade Hertl in a lateral move. The only reason we’d trade him is under the assumption that we’re rebuilding. And in that case we’d want a 1st rounder and good prospects back instead of older roster players.</div></div>

That is a pretty fair take. No disagreement that Hertl's value is higher than Kadri. If the deal could happen, from the Avs side, I think Kadri has to be included and then its a question of what else is needed to make it happen.

What is your take on Donskoi? Was he well liked there or happy to not see him come back?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DirtyDangle</b></div><div>gru probably gets 6x6. the difference between them isnt worth the trade.

i dont think the avs can keep hertl. cant keep everyone. if hertl stays someone has to go. he'd be only a rental for the avs so no need to pay anymore than rental prices.</div></div>

If Grubi gets that, I hope its not from the Avs. Bennington got that after winning the cup. A deeper run this year could have gotten Grubi similar money but I think it dropped him down a notch.

Dont get me wrong, I wouldnt be hugely disappointed with keeping him. This is a scenario I built on the idea that G needs upgrading which is not a slam dunk idea. But if that is what Joe thinks is needed, I think Gibson is the most logical way to do it. And I have disagree with you - Gibson is a significantly better G.

Other scenarios I made today kept Grubi and toyed elsewhere in the forward core. just having some fun today after a disappointing series.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SevenLeg</b></div><div>I was speaking for Colorado. I don't think the difference between Grubauer and Gibson is your up and coming top 6 forwards for the next 10 years + other futures</div></div>

Ah I see. I would disagree that Grubauer and Gibson is as close to a wash as you suggest. Gibson is a top 5 G IMO. Compher is not panning out so really he is a salary dump in my mind and getting a fresh start somewhere else. That first is a late one in a terrible draft year. Sure, you dont want to give up Newhook for nothing but I think the org depth is deeper than it ever has been. This scenario has a 1-2-3 C depth that would match up just about any night and it locked for several years. Combine that with Gibson's 6 remaining years and this is probably as aggressive of a cup window run as could reasonably be made.

I think the Avs lost because there is not a 2nd line that scares you, granted Kadri didnt play. But swapping him for Hertl (and resigning) should be a much more intimidating 2nd line. Then a true 3C that is very strong defensively and win a FO.
