They can send out Reeves but they'd have to replace him with someone.

CapFriendly currently has them with...

• 14 forwards
• 6 defensemen
• 2 goalies
• -$1.8m in cap space

They're going to need to move out someone line Smith for cheap just to fill out a 23 man roster.

I mean to break someone's leg.

Ooooooooooooh....

Well, a good coach always plays a player to his strengths.

[Puhis]

That stings a tad.

 

[Minnewildsota]

I bet the cap hit is between 4 and 5, for whatever reason

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

It's a lot but they have room to spare.

I like the move for them. A lot of the bad teams got better today.

3.25 AAV for Suter

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

3.25 AAV for Suter

Not sure exactly how that works for us in year 2, but dang.

I haven’t broken out my calculator, but assuming Gologoski is actually coming in at 2M next year then I think it does work.

Depends on the extensions for Kaprizov and Fiala.

If Kaprizov and Fiala come in at $15M, then it's ~$9M to re-sign Greenway, Sturm, Kahkonen and a #3LD. Yeah, probably doable.

Edit: nevermind, forgot to factor in Suter's buyout. Probably not.

Vanecek traded back to Washington after Seattle picked him. Just for a 2nd.

Nice job by Seattle.

Avs pay a 1st rounder and Timmons for Kuemper.

I was lurking the avs board..... Is keumper-pedic seriously considered a top 5 G in the league? Honest question...

He’s a lot better than we remember him.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Yeah, I remember hearing of him having stretches of really great play since we traded him, but I guess I never considered him a top level goalie...

Did the Avs just throw the rivalry? Guy is beachball meme worthy whenever he plays us.

 

[TaLoN]

He’s a lot better than we remember him.

Just not very good against us, because he sees us and gets mental flashbacks.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I think that’s giving us way too much credit.

So the Avs now have Kemps and Dubnyk?

Francouz. Dubnyk is a UFA.
