Interesting how there isn't a single UFA signing that cost more than $2m AAV.
Interesting that there's not a single player drafted outside top 16, and only one outside the top 10... and only two outside the top 4.Interesting how there isn't a single UFA signing that cost more than $2m AAV.
Well if it was Sakic that was responsible for negotiating the contracts then MacFarland had every opportunity to learn from Sakic. At some point, you gotta sink or swim on your own. Sakic won’t be there forever.My only concerns going from Sakic to MacF is with regards to contracts. We know he has had a big influence in building this team as far as personnel is concerned but what about contracts? How much was he responsible with those great contracts the Avs gave out so far? Will he be able to keep our cap structure under control like Sakic was able to? Will he be able to resist giving inflated contracts to UFAs and RFAs for that matter?
With that said...if Sakic decide to give up the GM position there is no doubt MacF should be his replacement. However I have a feeling Sakic is not done yet as GM.
Draft day.When does GM of the year get announced? I feel like this has to be Sakic's year.
Hooray, I did a 5!Shame on y’all for not changing your rating of Sakic as the Avs GM to a 5. Can’t do any better than winning the SCF.

Sakic presides as President of Hockey Operations while the Avs win the SC in 2023. That is the ultimate team goal for next season.What else is there for Sakic to achieve in the NHL? Commissioner???
I love that this gif was Sakic's last contribution as GM
