There has been a lot of talk and speculation on moving Gaudette (along with everyone else), and our fan base seem to loathe Beagle and Sutter.
I'd throw a million+ Mikko's way for a single year contract.

Tbh it's hard to read sarcasm in text. If that was sarcasm I missed it. Welp.

I'm pretty sure even at 60 Koivu will be better than 50% at faceoffs.

Avs could certainly do with a 3C to push Compher to the wing where he's better, but the need isn't "desperate". Certainly not compared to teams like Rangers, Florida, Buffalo, Minnesota, Edmonton, etc.
I wouldn’t be terribly surprised if Mikko still holds a grudge and would never play for Vancouver.
I think he ultimately retires from the NHL and plays a season or two in Finland. As others have said, the thought of retiring seems all well and good until it comes to the moment you need to do it. So who knows, maybe he latches on with Tampa or something next year for a chance at the cup.
Minnesota will retire his number over the next few years IMO. Timeline just pends his career path now.

Bjugstad’s size and shot
Johanssen’s skating and playmaking
JEE’s defensive game
Sturm’s strength
Rask’s hair
We may be onto something here.

I th
I thought the report was he refused to waive his ntc, for a trade to the NYI and that killed the deal.

He can't even stick on the Liiga team in his draft year? I'd like to aim a little higher than hanging the franchises hopes and dreams on Raty.If they they play their cards right they get get this guy:

It's going to be great for defensemen. Raty likely won't be the best forward available come draft time. There are quite a few CHL guys and even a couple USDP guys who will probably be rated higher. It's not going to be a weak draft, Raty has just not been able to keep up with what people thought he could be so far.
Koivu was asked by the last 2 GM's the past 2 trade deadlines if he wanted to goto a contender for a chance at the cup and he declined both times. I don't see him now wanting to sign with another team to take another crack. I think he ultimately retires and possibly plays back in Finland or maybe scouts Finland for the Wild.
Koivu refused to waive at deaddline. He has never been that type of player who wants to leave his family or play for another team that isnt wild
