You cant possibly be an Avalanche fan.. These are horrible deals they hurt the Avs big time in the future. 9 millon for a goal tender for another 7 years.. NO THANKS. Its why we went out and Philipp Grubauer and gave him a 3 year deal at 3.5 million to be that guy .

The Avs are NOT trading young prospects. They are getting younger not older. Kaut will be on the team probably next season. 2019 1st you want to give up could be a top 10 pick as we are NOT guaranteed to make the playoffs.. i would us at 60% of not making it.. So many things went right down the stretch to get in and it still took till the last day and career years by so many players.

Nugent-Hopkins no. We can get a better package for Barrie from anther team.. he is RH which is what a lot of teams want and is great on offense. I dont think Barrie gets traded till after the season or they may trade Erik Jonson instead to get away from the 5 years left on his deal due to his injuries and age.

Sujet: Expansion Plan Part 3
NO benefit in giving up 4 draft picks with 3 being in the 2019 draft class that is considered strong. If we were guaranteed to make the playoffs maybe. but we are bubble team and need many things to go right to make the playoffs. We still dont have a functional 2nd line that actually scared opponents. Probably one of the worst 2nd lines in the league. If Macks line doesnt repeat last year, Varly doesnt miss 2 months, EJ doesnt find himself on the IR like usual then maybe we make as the 8th seed once again.

If they want Nylander which would be a good fit as he cant actually win faceoffs, play center or winger. I would offer up EJ and get rid of his horrible contract as with 5 years left and already 30.. More and more injuries are going to pop up for him. He is our acting #1 Defender but is more like a #3. with Barrie under contract for 2 more years the kids (Timmins and Makar) will have next year to shine to see what direction they want to take with him.

No way Zadorov gets 5.5 million when Noah Hanafin just got under 5 million 6 years who is the better player.

And Kerfoot is not touching 4.25 million. he wont repeat his lucky rookie season and his absurd high 25% shooting. I dont think the Avs will resign Varly. They cant rely on him which is why they got Grubauer to be the #1. And Franz will more than likely be the backup after he proves himself on NA ice after dominating the KHL.

I could see the Avs trying to trade Erik Johnson as his contract is scary with 4 more years and he always winds up on the IR by the end of the year and keep Barrie.

IF we get hughes he will be on the 2nd line as Nylander is a pretty good center who can win draws. THat would be a nice looking 2nd line Jost / Nylander / Hughes

As for Nylander there will be no OS for him as the Avs cant afford to give away draft picks right now. We dont really have any top end Forward depth.. We need as many chances in the draft to select a stud or use them for a trade up. I predict the Avs will miss the playoffs this upcoming season so no reason to give up an unprotected lottery pick in this draft. Now if they want to trade us Nylander for say Barrie or Johnson I would be all for it.

Sujet: Habs and Avalanche at Trade Deadline
Sakic wanted to get younger... Not sign soon to be 30-year-olds looking for their last big payday. No thank you.

The Avs were extremely lucky to even make the playoffs last year. It took a 10 game winning streak and the STL blues sucking down the stretch (after they traded one of their core pieces for a pick) and still took us to the last game that we had to win to get in. A lot went right. Lots of players had career years (Mackinnon, Barrie, Mikko, Zadarov) It would take those same players playing at that same level along with Jost making a Mikko like jump from 20 points to at least 60 points. Varlamov not missing 2 months of the season as usual. Erik Johnson not finishing on the IR like he has the past 2 seasons.

I think the Avs are still 1 more year away before we can really be counted on going back to the playoffs. I actually fully expect us to miss the playoffs this year so if they were to trade the 2019 1st rd pick they better put some serious protections on it as it is very top heavy with Forwards and LH Dmen. Players we could use.

We can go into the 2019 offseason with 30+ million in cap room with only Mikko and Zadarov to resign that will cost over 4 million. The rest will be 3 million at the most and under.

As an Avs fan if the pick is top 5 we are looking good as this draft is strong in Centers/Wingers and LHD at the top. Pretty much everything we need for secondary scoring. As for the rest of your signings.

I doubt the Avs resign Varlamov cause he usually misses 30 games a year from his groin that he injures every year. no reason to pay 6 milliion a year. Grubauer is the new starting goalie after he proves himself this year. Pavel Francouz will be resigned to play the backup goalie if he proves he can handle the NA ice after dominating the KHL.

No way the Avs resign Colin wilson and most def at 4 more years. He has been horrible since being traded here.

IF the Avs resign Rants it will be for 7 or 8 years. At 21 years old they will lock him up now.

Soderberg will be on the 3rd or 4th line next year just like he is this year. Martin Kaut will make the team and follow the same path Rants did after playing this year in the AHL.


The Avalanche will have over 30 million cap room with only Rants and Zadorov to resign that will cost over 4million $$$. Everyone is minimum salaries.

I could see them making a push for secondary Scoring with the likes of Panarin, Stone (lol), Duchene (lol), Karlsson (lol) as we could easily sign 2 big time Free Agents and still have left over cap
