L’Avalanche du Colorado a été l’une des équipes les plus actives le premier jour de son entrée en fonction, mais vous ne le savez peut-être pas puisque toutes leurs signatures étaient plutôt de la profondeur, sauf une. Les Avs ont commencé leur journée en annonçant leur plus grosse signature d’agent libre, Jonathan Drouin, pour un contrat d’un an de 2,5 millions de dollars. Un accord très favorable à l’équipe qui ramènera l’Avalanche là où elle était avant la signature dans un an. Est-ce un autre contrat à montrer, ou les Avs n’avaient-ils tout simplement pas l’argent pour offrir plus ? Ou les deux ? Les autres mouvements étaient un mélange de nouveaux visages à bas prix mélangés à des visages familiers à… bas prix. Mais l’Avalanche a encore des joueurs à signer, et presque pas d’argent pour le faire. Alors comment peuvent-ils faire fonctionner cela ? Nous décomposons tout !

I've actually never been up late enough to catch you guys live, watching front Ontario, Canada. Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦
I'm just happy we kept Drouin 👌👌
Nichushkin screwed us
I don't think the Drouin contract is in any way a "show me" contract. They probably would have been happy to sign him to 4 years at $4.5 mil if they had some certainty around Val at least. I think that both sides had a clear vision of how much he liked playing in Denver and how good the fit was for him there as well as the situation for the team this year in regards to the cap. this is a result of them both agreeing to keep a good thing going and rectify the money and term issues in a year.
In regards to Val, my guess is that their best option would be to mutually terminate the contract and let him go back to Russia and plan in the KHL where they don't care as much about those things.
Another thing to keep in mind for the cap gymnastics. If Landy isn't ready to start the season, he goes on regular IR. If they don't use the LTIR, and do the assign and recall with several guys on off days, they'll start that daily cap accrual because they'll actually be under the cap until Val returns. That should help them out a little bit and buy time to make some other moves at the start of the season As for filling out the rest of the roster, they still have a lot of guys out there who might come at league min if they don't sign by August as well as PTOs and possible waiver claims.
Chris about LTIR: "the league supposedly monitors this stuff"… unless they go to Vegas to check it out and get distracted by the glitz and glamour 😉
But seriously, Landeskog is going to be LTIR till early spring. I wish the Avs' Managment didn't play coy that much.
PS. It sucks Subtext doesn't work for Europeans (or does it, anybody?).
Love you guys, take care!
Honestly, I think Drouin deal is a layup for another deal, just buying a year for uncertainties in the lineup this year. Love Nuke, but I think he played his last game for the Avs. Once that's clear up, I think the Avs may have offered Drouin a boost on term, money, or even both. How many valued players can play with Nate?
I've been constantly on Cap Friendly & its tight but there is Juuuuuuust enough room to activate Val without trading anyone AND with the discounted Drouin contract, CMac has room for injuries or salary retention on a Val deal.
Shaggy is right, CMac will kinda have to play games w LTIR. If any team has justification for doing it: its COL, who is dealing with an unprecedented scenario.
Everything i wanted the avs to do they did plus more so im satisfied. But i dont think id call Drouins contract a "show me" contract but more of a "buys us some time" contract for next year as i thought the term was a bit short. Like roughly 2 mil for 2 years makes some sense. But one year seems like they're trying to plan ahead and possibly having another team lock him up for 3-4 years doesn't seem beneficial. Because id have to imagine they'll have a better look at the landy and val situation this time next year. And if one or both of those contracts are gone then i think it'll open up enough to keep rantannen. And if drouin plays well again then they'd more than willing to give him more money and term as well. And depending on what happens with colton we might have ro re-sign him as well.
AKA they're budgeting hard right now.
I was shocked that the Avs were as active as they were on day 1 as well. What a Day…. The landscape of the NHL changed In a BIG way After yesterday. Not to mention all the new Logo rebrands and the different jerseys we are going to see on the Ice from every team next season. Next year will be a Big year for the NHL. As a Fan it’s nice to see Hockey on the Rise and get the respect it deserves. We going to see a Big New Look NHL next season more than any in recent years.
Nichushkins contract will be terminated as soon as he’s out of the program. He’s done. I’ve heard he was doing stuff that would be considered conduct detrimental to the team and you can terminate for that.
Just looking at what the potential lineup could look like at some point mid season if all the stars were to align, it looks great and anyone could move guys around that I have below as i just threw together pairings quickly. And yes, I know both Landy and Val are huge question marks and both Lehky and LOC are coming off major surgeries and am in no way saying this is what it’s going to look like. Far from it. Simply saying the potential exists to have a special lineup. And let’s just say they find a loophole to get out of Vals contract, they’ll have an additional $6M+ to play around with. I actually have far more pessimism than optimism but there’s plenty of others that can carry the pessimistic torch while I light my optimistic torch. No fun to sit in the mindset that it’s going to be a disaster, LOL
Drouin / Mack / Mikko
Lehky / Mitts / Val
Landy / Colton / Kovalenko
LOC / Kivi / Wood
Makar/Toews
Manson/Girard
Malinski / TBD
What an off season when Drouin is the big signing. Ahahahaha
The AVS are counting that Nuke will not have recovered from his addiction. Lifetime suspension for Nuke. Ahahaha
19:59 Trade the Captain 😅
Well, i am shocked that we had so much movement with little to work with (money wise)…
But its going to be a very interesting season since Landy and Nuke are set to come back this season. If this works C-Mac will be crowned the "King ".😂😂
Honestly, i wouldnt want his job, how stressful😮💨😮💨
I'm a Jacob Macdonald fan. He had a rough last year when he was here but the year prior to that he was pretty solid. I'm rooting for him to make that third pairing.
From Bo to Walker to deHaan???? de Haan??? He already sucked with the Hawks – he was awful, so slow. on a scale from A to F, where F is failed, these trades are F-. The worst trades of the entire NHL, only PHI and STL were worse, they did not do anything. The Avs suck now, worse than on July 1. Only cheap players nothing top. Did anyone see what the other teams did NSH, VAN, BOS, TOR, even the Rangers did a better job in getting Reilly Smith. This MacFlushy sucks. Just wait for Landi and for the Druggie – the season is already lost!!!
