Normally we have a few people raging after every 1st/2nd round pick Avs make. People have been very relaxed this year, which is a sign Avs did well early on.
If we can somehow get Panarin without offering silly money we should go for it. Besides that I would only look for options for our third or fourth lines in free agency.If people don't want to go 3 years for Pavs, who do you target in FA? Lee? Simmonds? Why are we so concerned about the 3rd year? I've mentioned before Simmer could come cheap because of his struggles last year but at the same time the limited crop of players will make him demand more. Both him and Pavs serve a larger need than Lee IMO but I'd still like to land one of these guys + another top 6 guy in a trade with a cap-strapped team or in a Barrie deal.

Jost - Soda - Calvert
Nieto - Kam - Wilson

With Kerf traded is probably my ideal starting forward group.
I’m sure Instagram and Twitter sleuths will find him if he is in Denver.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was Nylander tbhI can’t believe it looks like the leafs will re-sign Kapanen and Johnsson. They really have to get rid of at least 1 of Kadri, Nylander or Marner, especially if they want to get a Dmen just to replace Gardiner.
We need to be all over whoever the odd man out.
