Thread: No trade partner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TJTwolf</b></div><div>I think in the event Val comes back then the Avs intend to give him a chance from the press conference with CMac and Gabe but hard to tell as there were mixed messages. Definitely a last saloon kind of vibe though. A buyout is too big of a hit for too long so imo they're going to give him a chance, possibly seek out potential suitors, and if it all goes pear shaped again then terminate after the 1 year suspension. Buyout is the absolute last option. The Avs should definitely move on from JJ now as well.</div></div>

also the buyout period probably won't line up with Val's reinstatement. Unless there's some provision for scenarios like this. truly no idea - this is a first for the current CBA so we shouldn't expect to know the exact options

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>If Nichushkin ever plays for the Avs again I’ll buy you a beer there is no way a responsible management team can bring him back into the locker room after his latest episode. SJS terminated Evander Kane for less, WSH terminated that kid with the social media posts, AZ terminated Rudzicka, and what Val has done in the last year almost makes those guys look like choir boys.</div></div>

This is why I said that it's a good bet that only one player between Landy &amp; Nuke will come back. I think you just spend Nuke's $6.1 like he's not there.

All of those situations left the team with cap space because they terminated the player's contract. Or the team sucked so bad that it didn't matter for that season. It does matter for the avs. They'll wait to buy him out if they can't terminate his contract completely.
