I don't even care, we can't re-sign these guys anyways. If it gives us a better chance of winning this year, then do it.
You are so much like your namesake. You'd make a hell of a coach, but I think you would remind me of MacKinnon as a GM.
I don't know why but reading your post hit me exactly like when Nate said he would've traded 10 1sts for Lehky. I'm sure he meant it, too.
In principle though, I agree the Avs need to be all in this year and next and then we'll have to re-evaluate after Mikko's new deal is determined and go from there. But the thing is, you've still got to be careful with what you go all-in on. I think 2C is more important right now that G. I would say that if a goalie deal can be done that makes us better and doesn't prevent us from getting the 2C solved... I'd do it as well. But for me, 2C comes first. Our best defense is playing in the opponents end, and we really have to solve the 2C to get that going.
