[Mr Tadakichi]

can they afford both Rant and Panarin?

 

[Nalens Oga]

Don't want Bobrovsky, I'd rather roll the dice on Grubauer rather than risk $7M+ or whatever Bobrovsky is gonna cost at like a 5 year+ contract.

Panarin though, badly need that. We're never a premier UFA spot anymore though so I doubt it.

 

[Weast]

can they afford both Rant and Panarin?

33 million for Rants, Compher, Kerfoot, backup/AHL goalie, depth forward or two.
Panarin is doable but it'll be tight

 

[Pual Statsny]

It's Dater... I wouldn't put too much stock in it. Sometimes he's right, usually he's just stirring the pot.

Yeah, if this rumour is true, wouldn't be surprised to see a bit of salary moving.

Feel like Avs could use stability in the net but Panarin is a beauty. Interesting to see what the avs do this offseason. More interested to see how they do this post season. Mackinnon is an absolute beast.

What exactly is it Avs fans want to see when it comes to free agency?

 

[a mangy Meowth]

That would be a sweet signing - but I have to say I severely doubt it.

Would love it though, he's a slick player.

Media speculation: “Panarin wants to be near the ocean”

Panarin: *goes as far from the ocean as humanly possible*

 

[nafrelio]

Adding Panarin, Makar, a top 4 pick (Jack Hughes, Kakko, etc), and possibly a top 15 pick (Caufield, Kaliyev, etc.) will make that team one to watch in the years ahead. Rantanen has slowed his points pace, but he'll still get 10+ I would think. MacKinnon is on a sweat heart deal which will ensure a competitive team for several more years. They easily beat our talent depth in the future, unless our prospects start panning out for once.

There’s over 300 days of sunshine per year in Denver. The mountains get snow, but it doesn’t really snow that much in Denver. Denver also has a sizable Russian community, a lot of cap space, and Panarin will most likely be on the second line with Hughes/Kakko/Turcotte facing weaker matchups while also allowing the Avs to reunite the first line.

Alisa won't go to Colorado for 7 years, it's either NY or Miami.

Oh don’t get me wrong I’m an Albertan that spends as much time as possible in the Rockies - similar-ish to Denver. It’s cold here in the winter but the summers are fantastic. He could do a lot worse than Colorado.

I mean he's signaling you with that orange hat he's wearing whole year.

 

[chethejet]

I am sure Duchene will give a glowing report of the AVs to him. No his interest is in a big market team most likely NY or back to Chicago.

 

[GoJetsGo55]

Plz no

 

[Avs44]

I've no doubt the Avs would love to add a star talent. Just like they wanted Tavares last year, of course. Every team does, it's not exactly breaking news. But I really, really doubt Panarin wants to come to Colorado.

Sakic"The ocean is right behind those giant mountains. You just can't see it. Now pls sign here and here."

 

[Oddbob]

About 0.23% chance he signs in Colorado! He wants ocean apparently on either coast or NY, Colorado won't even be in the mix, and I doubt he even meets with them.

 

[McMetal]

I would do some very degrading things to get Panarin on the Avs, but I think there's maybe a 5% chance that happens if I'm being optimistic. No matter what Dater says.

 

[Foppberg]

He isn't coming here. And can we really afford to give him huge money?

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Lol yeah I doubt it. Colorado can’t eeally afford to sign him huge money long term. This is purely speculation.
