[Qurpiz]

The last one was locked and didn't see a new one, and this definitely pertains



That's just a big ol' pile of shit the Wild are going to eat

I mean you could probably title it 2021-22 Around the League now

Also I remember when they signed those contracts. Time flies.

Figured we'd put it in the "Offseason" thread

Better?

 

[Shane Diesel]

Hahaha, eat shit Minny.

Those dead cap hits:

 

[The Merchant]

This is shaping up to be the most bananas off-season of all-time

 

[Pokecheque]

I can't believe they're just gonna go with a massive $15 million cap hit starting in 2022, the cap's gonna be flat for at least part of that.

But that's fine, you do you Minny.

Avs should add Suter on a 1 year deal when free agency starts

 

[Pokecheque]

Is Suter really needed? Does he really bring anything the Avs don't already have? I just don't see the point.

Suter really isn't that much better than Keith, but his stats look better because the Wylde were better able to shelter him.

Just bizarre they would do this now, especially Suter. He's got two years as a top 4 guy left in him at least. Plus the cash on their contracts is so minimal going forward, they could have moved the deals in a couple of years. They must be getting the screws really tightened from Kaprizov's agent and felt this was needed to keep him around.

Badly need some veteran presence back there, plus yeah he's better than the guys the Avs put out there at the bottom. You wouldn't take the contract he has, but at a reduced price and term he's perfectly fine. Give him 2 years and he rolls off just as the cap may be increasing.

As a #4D, I think he'd be great at least for next season and possibly more.

 

[Cypher]

Suter at 1-2 million for 2 years > Graves at 3.16 million for 2 years

The timing suggests that they're doing this now to ensure that they can go 7+3+1 in the ExD without losing Dumba or Greenway.

The Avs have enough defensemen as is. It doesn't solve the issue with finding a legit RHD to partner with Girard, and I don't think he'd be a massive upgrade over Byram...or even Timmins.

Avs have much, much bigger needs they need to address first. They gotta get themselves sorted out at center, and I'd like for them to weigh all possible options before just settling with a long-term deal for Grubauer. The defense will be much better next season by default because, one hopes, Graves and Nemeth will be gone.

Better?

LOL, I meant in the one we already had, but this is fine.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Doesn't sound like an LTIR candidate to me...

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Wow Parise and Suter. That's going to hurt!

 

[The Abusement Park]

Jeez. Hedman played all season on a torn meniscus... damn impressive.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Looks like a good chunk of that team was banged up.

Sounds like surgery on October 1st to me and the first 4-6 weeks of the season on LTIR lol.

Not against this at the right price.
