If there is allready a deal in place prepare for Giroux getting hurt in his 1000th game and f*** it up.

EDIT: Added Giordano who's now a realistic option with the Landeskog LTIR cap space.

 

[Muffin]

Alright now that we have all the cap space we need hopefully we swing for the fences.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Well cap space is not even close to an issue anymore.


Feels like we might actually be up to something pretty big here.

 

[Balthazar]

Didn't know that Mayfield had a year left under contract. Why would the Isles trade him?

2nd pairing guy, right handed, 6'5, only 1.45M AAV signed for one more year? That's huge value. What am I missing?

 

[Papa Francouz]

Cap space no longer an issue? What did I miss? My phone is having a bitch of a time with this new layout & the new servers.

I'm really curious to see how this unfolds. We could have made some big moves even without playing the LTIR game simply by getting retention, but this certainly opens up a lot more possibilities that might not be available to a lot of contenders, and likely also means that the Avs won't have to pay extra for double retention.

The one guy I'm looking at as being possible now who I didn't even have on the list above due to his high caphit is Giordano. With an additional $7m in LTIR cap space there should be no problem fitting him in even at a full caphit if Sakic wants to go for him.

Landy pretty much gone for the season

Landy out for a bit with knee surgery.

Landeskog knee surgery, likely LTIR and back in time for the playoffs. So if that's the plan they have over $7M just from that transaction to work with.

Landeskog going on LTIR. He's having a minor knee surgery and will be back for the "stretch run" (i.e. game 1 of the playoffs a la Kucherov and Stone).

Girard out 4 weeks
Landy out indefinitely (getting surgery on Monday, think he should be back for the stretch run)

Lando out for knee surgery, no timeline. Everyone speculating LTIR abuse

It is still an issue. Both Landy and Girard are expected to be out roughly a month. There's still 7 weeks left in the season. That doesn't help with LTIR or the trade deadline. Landy would have to miss the rest of the regular season.

 

[Freudian]

Lots of cap space now. Scorched earth. Smoke 'em if you got 'em. Bye Oskar, Justin. Hell trade Parshin while we are at it.

Thanks, all! This is the first time I’ve been able to actually access the site, so this is news to me. Hopefully the Avs can stay in 1st place without him and G for the next month or so.

You don't think Sakic would ask Landeskog and/or Girard to lay low for an extra 2-3 weeks to give the team a better shot at the cup? It's not like there's much to play for in the last 2 months anyhow, maybe only home ice against Calgary in the WCF or against Carolina/Florida in the SCF, but the risk is easily worth it if you can add an extra impact player at the deadline.

I’m not up on the rules enough to know if you are, but I hope you’re wrong, Bill. I want this to be the time Sakic finally puts his balls on the table. Roy and the rest of us have been waiting.

Nah Landy will be missing more time then that. Avs are just being careful with wording.
