Thread: Probably Horrible But I mean what can we do
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>M96N29</b></div><div>I'm starting to also wonder how attractive COL will be for FAs that aren't league minimum journeymen. If the selling point is "hey, come play for the Avs, at least until we have to dump you when Val or Landy comes back" then I don't know who would want to take that.</div></div>

IMO the Avs will play it relatively safe other than bringing drouin back this free agency period and maybe signing a ~$2mil depth defenseman. Maybe one other signing like Trenin or something like that. Otherwise, they'll go for journeymen and their current rookies to fill out the bottom 3 &amp; bottom pairing. By the TDL they'll know who is and is not returning and can make moves there if they need to.

I would happily take big Z back if the Avs could make it work, though.

Thread: Mock
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JuanDamienNebraska</b></div><div>Yeah, though a contender, I don’t see COL bringing in Tanev. A resigning with DAL is much more likely.

Are you convinced that Manson will be dealt this summer? If Mittelstadt resigns, and Nichuskin and Landeskog are expected to return, I could see a cap crunched COL running something along the lines of:

Toews - Makar
Girard - Manson
Johnson - Malinski
Jones</div></div>

I am not at all convinced. But I would trade him if it means Tanev was the alternative. But, I don't think they trade any players until they hit some cap crunch if both Landy &amp; Nichushkin are eligible to return.

Honestly, I think this team is capable as it is currently constructed to win another cup and don't see any reason to overreact at this time.
