GDT: Game 2: Avalanche vs Flyers | October 6, 2018 | 7 PM MT

It's a contract year. Look at what he did with Nashville, the one year he hit 20 goals was a contract year. Enjoy the fact that he will produce this year ( well until he gets hurt, once he gets an injury his production is done for the year ), but then pray the management doesn't overpay him on a longer term deal because of it.

Gratz on the wins by the way, fun team to watch.

There shouldn't be any scenario where he is re-signed.

Nashville are going to regret trading him

I fully agree with you when that core gets old. It's funny to think that a kid of his caliber was stuck in the pipeline over there. Without the trade he could of potentially been stuck in the minors for years and never possibly emerged as the player he is.

Clicked on an AJ tweet, saw a guy that had the username with the word 'eagle' in it. And said mate twice, @Sea Eagles 100%.

I saw him on a Facebook post before

He definitely wouldn't be top pairing on NSH. COL is the better place for him and I'm glad he's getting the opportunity.

Wilson is gonna hit 20 goals again, just watch

My first reaction to his play in the first couple of games is that he looks like someone playing with his hair on fire for a contract. We've seen this before with countless other players. I would hope that the Avs stay away from a long term, high AAV contract with him, but they could believe the mirage this season.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

We should aim for a legit top six forward this off season. Unless wilson wins the cup for us, i doubt we bring him back. Its Varly that people want to move on from that we should strongly consider signing back.

 

[Avsavsavsavsavs]

I like Wilson, cap situation changes with Rantanen getting big pay day but it's clear he likes this team and the ability is there when he wants it to be. I'd revisit resigning him for a short term depending on what our draft looks like this year.

I’d sign Varly but not for the groin injuries/history/style of play. I have to think it’s hard to quantify those monetarily and not sure what I’d do. Hard to find a goalie like him but how do we know how long he’ll last?

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Can we lock up Girard this offseason? Im prepared to throw 4.5 mill per for 8 years and have our selves the next josi like contract.

If he doesnt last, we have gruebauer. If he does last, we have an elite goalie that you cant just pick up for a 2nd round pick. I’d give him big money at short term. We need to start being a max cap team.

Nashville rumoured offer was either Girard or Fabbro.

I agree, the depth of their DMen would have kept them buried for years in the minors. Girard playing for the AVs not only gives him plenty of ice time, the patience to allow him to develop.

Then again they also traded Seth Jones and you see what he's turned into lol. They just excessively breed top flight defensemen out there. Lets just thank em and move on.

 

[Foppa Frossa]

Guys hear me out. Colin Wilson is Landy ten years from now and he's used a time machine to re-live playing for the Avs during their epic cup run. I present exhibit A:

I wonder how he’s going to do now that it looks like he’s not going to have to stop as much rubber during a game and he doesn’t have to steal as many games on his own but only has to come up with a key stop here or there or have a good sequence or period during a game? Maybe will save his groin and he will last longer.

What would you consider big money? 7m?

 

[RoyIsALegend]

I don’t expect Wilson to maintain this play, but I will take it for now.

 

[LieutenantDangle]

I don’t expect Wilson to maintain this play, but I will take it for now.

The crazy thing is that he’s not just getting points on the stat sheet. He’s getting grade A scoring opportunities in bundles. Dude could seriously have 4 or 5 goals already

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Yeah, $14/$15m over 2 years sounds fair.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

There’s no way Girard agrees to just 4.5m per year after winning the Norris as a sophomore.

 

[Murzu]

If Girard legit plays like this most of the year, lock him up for long time ASAP.

 

[AvsGuy]

I get the apprehension around resigning Wilson but I wonder if there’s a chance we see a breakout season this far into his career. Heard he was flying in camp and he appears to be killing it out there so far. He’s about to turn 29, it wouldn’t be the strangest thing ever.

It's wait and see for me. Only two games for Wilson but I'm pleasantly surprised. My gut says if he remains healthy he just may reach 20+ goals.
