Rumor: 2023 Free Agency and Trade Rumors: Will Sleepy Mac wake up for the deadline?

[Balthazar]

Somehow we have to figure out how to sign Byram to a 7 year deal.

We're gonna bridge him because we have no choice...but I feel like kicking that can down the road will turn out to be very expensive.

What hit?

Probably the Englund hit earlier, probably wrong thread.

What hit?

Englund. Somehow I ended up here posting

Would it be ill advised to sign Bo to a 5x5.

Avs would love it. He won’t. Hopefully they can sign him to a bridge deal.

I don't know. I would offer him somewhere around 3-4m a year for 2-8 years, his call. He likely takes the 2y bridge, but you never know, he might want to secure his future forever.

He would not sign a long term deal at that AAV

probably not, but I'd offer. you never know when a guy wants to secure their future forever.

It’s the other way around. 5 years would walk him straight to UFA. Terrible for the Avs, awesome for Byram.

$5M for Byram for 5 years is a good deal for the Avs. (If healthy)

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Would it be ill advised to sign Bo to a 5x5.

Yes. Still way too many questions around him yet to be going anything long term. Plus we cant really afford $5M next year.

A bridge deal is the best for both parties with him. Gives the Avs more time to sort the cap situation out and learn more about exactly what we have with Bo and whether he can stay healthy. And for Bo its a good opportunity to prove himself, and prove that he's worth a big long term deal.

2x$3M just makes too much sense.


If the Avs were in the middle of a rebuild or retool, you could look at taking on some risk in the form of a long term deal for ~6-7M. But given where we are as a contender and the cap situation we cant take that kind of risk.

 

[jaisen73]

Given his injury history but also with his great play when healthy I think a bridge deal of 3.5 x 2 years is a big raise and gives Byram a huge opportunity to cash in if he can play 75 percent or more of the next 2 seasons, etc.

Leafs paid that price for ROR thinking he’ll help shutdown Tampa? He couldn’t help the Blues shutdown the Avs 2 years in a row in the playoffs and he’s regressing. Is he really gonna be the answer for the Leafs?

MacKinnon was out there taking years off O’Reilly’s life the last two postseasons. Lol

You end up with RORS with offers like that

He looks good tonight, I don't think he's regressed. Just a tough start, probably a big bounce back year next year.

 

[Avsboy]

Nothing new on HNIC, but they showed Lucic entering the building and that guy knows how to dress

Nah. We have to gamble with him.

[AvsCOL]

Shaping up to be an awful TDL honestly. No quality or quantity…

I think Leafs need D the most, they were fine up front already

 

[Grackle Party]

Would the Blues move on from Schenn if they are blowing it up? His contract is going to bad in the next few years but for the win now and figure it out later it might work
