Sujet: Unrealistic Nylander
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JeffW</b></div><div>Anybody who has 8 million dollars in cap space and the required compensation picks can afford him, I'm saying it's not worth it, 7 to 8 mill on a small 20 goal rw when they have a 30 goal right winger they need to sign next year to to mention everyone else coming up on their deals, while losing those draft picks... what happens if otts pick turns into hughes, then colorado will be in the same hot water as toronto in a few years</div></div>

Colorado is 5 years away from being in cap problems. That is when Mack's contract will expire. Until there are other players we can trade if need be: Erik Johnson (6 million), Landeskog (5.5 million) this is on top of the 34+ million in cap room we have going into the 2019 offseason. So yes we can afford Nylander, Rants and Z and still have plenty left over to offer a big time FA if we wanted too. Is it smart. NO cause i dont think the Avalanche are a playoff team and dont really need to give away a lottery pick in a strong draft class

Sujet: Krug as your top LD Bjugstad as 2C Varlamov out Trades with BOS FLA PHI
This proposal done is most def not done by an Avs fan. 100% no chance the Avs trade Zadarov, nevertheless they throw a promising young RHD as well as picks into the deal. 100% chance they DONT trade their 2019 1st rd and even if they did it would be lottery protected cause there is probably a 90% chance the Avalanche miss the playoffs last year. (so much went right last year just to get in the playoffs on the last day of the season).

I think the soonest they make a trade will be a the TDL and it will be Johnson (if healthy) or Barrie (an offer too good to refuse) if not or Varlamov( soon to be UFA), I think they wait till the 2019 offseason when they have 2 lottery picks int he 2019 draft and they have a better understanding on the kids (Jost, Kerfoot, Kamenev, Timmins, Makar, Shvyryov who is a big time sleeper prospect as well as other youngsters playing in the AHL.)

Joe Sakic has stressed they are getting younger.. They dont do that by trading valuable picks and young players just scratching the surface of their potential.

Sujet: Skinner to Avs Yup
I dont see the Avalanche resigning Nemeth at all. We have 3 young defenders ready to break with the team. I could see us trading a VET like Barrie / Johnson make space once they prove their worth. We need secondary scoring but I dont see us going after Skinner or Keller with 2 possible top 10 picks in the 2019 draft.

I could see us going after a premier UFA like Panarin. A complete winger. Could theoretically take Landeskog's place since his contract would be up in 2 years at that time. And we could sell "high" on him. In the 2019 draft we could be adding 2 top 10 picks (i am still in the minority that thinks Colorado misses the playoffs and we all know about Ottawas issues)

2019 we could be adding: Makar, Timmins, Kaut, Shvyryov (sleeper), Kamenev (if he doesnt make the team this year), Bowers

Then you factor in one of: Hughes, Cozens, Podkolzin, Kakko, Dach all who could make the jump immediately.


You are getting yourself in trouble with the expansion draft by getting more people we would have to protect in Keller and Skinner and resigning Nemeth. I do think Barrie or Johnson will be traded for futures so we only have to protect 3 Dmen (Girard, Zadarov, Johnson or Barrie) ITs why I think Cole was given a 3 year deal so he could be left exposed

Sujet: Who Won the Karlsson Trade???
Our decent backup at goalie will be Pavel Francouz. He will spend the year in the AHL getting used to NA ice. He was the KHL goalie of the year. And he will cost less than 3.5 million.


Also for the 2019 draft. Its not Jack Hughes or bust. We need to come away with 2 Top line Forwards or 1 top line fwd and a LHD dman. And this draft is prime for it.

I think the Avalanche's own pick will be in the lottery as it took a lot of luck to make the playoffs. Everything went right with career years from lots of players. Everyone in the Central got better, we did nothing except change our a goalie.

I wont complain if we get 2 top 10 picks in this draft.


As for you extensions you gave out.. You were very kind. Kerfoot is not a 3.5 million player Zadarov will be closer to 4 million. Heck, Hanafin only got 4.9 over 6 years. Kamanev hasnt even played in the NHL but a few games. Unless he breaks out this year and puts up 50 points i could see him doing a 2 year 1.5 mil deal AAV.


I dont see Yost as a top line player. 2nd line at best. This is a big year for him. Would love for the Avs to go out and get Panarin. Sell him on Colorado.
