Friedman: Next Year Is An “All In Year” For Colorado

[Cousin Eddie]

1:25 So, You Lost. What Now? | Podcasts - Sportsnet.ca

Some direct quotes from podcast

- “Next year is an all in year for them”

- When Marek asks will they add a goaltender Friedman’s response was “everything is on the table”

- “ They know the year after they have to extend Landeskog and Makar. Those are big numbers, right? So next year is an allll in year. You remember that they went out and offered Panarin big money, short term which was creative. I have a feeling that they’re gonna do that for one year. They’re going to go out to people and say we’ll offer you big money, one year.”

- “If Taylor Hall wants one year at a big number in a place where he gets a chance to win a Stanley Cup I can see them going to Taylor Hall and saying you want one year at 8 million? Or you know, pick the number!I see them saying it to a goalie.”

- “I think Colorado next year, “All in year” and they’re going to be creative”.

After signing RFA’s he expects them to be at 16m in cap space.

One year at 8M? Would Hall even get less than that on long term deal? I doubt it. IMO there’s zero chance Hall would do a one year deal unless it’s close to the max.

Great idea, one year deals are low risk high reward. Didn't the Avs do something similar back in the day with kariya and selanne? Didn't work but definitely worth a shot. I'd pay hall just about anything if I could get him for 1 yr with that core.

 

[Super Cake]

And why would Taylor Hall take a one year deal?

No player of his caliber is going to take a one year deal and risk something bad happening that season that will cause him to lose money on his next contract.

 

[BB88]

8M on a 1 year isn’t big money

 

[Alklha]

Taylor Hall said a few months back that he wanted term, that the COVID situation hadn't changed that. $8m on a one year deal isn't going to persuade him otherwise.

 

[McShogun99]

Try 11 million+ on a 1 year deal for Hall. Some team will offer him 9 mil+ on a 7 year deal.

 

[BB88]

Boston should be competive with Hall
Need and money

 

[Mrfenn92]

Sign hall long term. Make a tough choice with the captain in the next offseason.

 

[Merrrlin]

People called me dumb for saying Andersen to Colorado, but I feel like it's perfect.

1 year contract, no long term commitment, low actual salary, lower cost to acquire than other targets in the same tier.

Most important is the no bloated commitment that many UFA goalies will ask for.

When Marek asks will they add a goaltender Friedman’s response was “everything is on the table”

So much for the "The Avs aren't interested in Murray because Sakic said he was happy with his goalies" take.

When has Friedman ever known anything about the inner workings in Colorado?

Why would he lie?

If we're trading for a goalie, we want an upgrade over Grubauer. Freddy is not that.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Carey Price, come on down!

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Why would he lie?

He's not lying, he's just speculating. He has no inside info on the Avs. The only guy who has shown to have that in is Ryan Clark at this point. And he only get the info the Avs want him to get.

I’d assume if they add a goalie it’s for someone better than Grubauer. Otherwise I’d bank on them sticking with their current tandem.

Would Petro sign a 1 year 15 million dollar deal?

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Would Petro sign a 1 year 15 million dollar deal?

No, He already said that he's looking long term only. Just like Krug.

 

[IWantSakicAsMyGM]

Why would he lie?

He's a hockey personality who gets paid to speculate about things, despite not always having legit inside information. He's giving his opinion, which doesn't mean anything.

Makes sense, and I'll keep ryan clark in mind when reading about the Avs. Thanks!

i do not doubt he might do it,
its the Marion Hossa 2008 RedWings play -
sign for 1 w contender, chase a Cup,
sign long-term with preferred team aftrewards.
AND expansion draft makes that even more desirable to deep contending signing teams

 

[Pantokrator]

Do you think the Avs would go for Holtby or Lehner? Also, is there any word on them going for Pietrangelo?

I think they'd be better off going the route of getting a solid D-man and goalie over Hall.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Try 11 million+ on a 1 year deal for Hall. Some team will offer him 9 mil+ on a 7 year deal.

which contending team can handle that type of caphit?

 

[Mickey Marner]

Idk about that strategy, I think they're better off to try and maximize their roster strength over the next three seasons. Pry Savard and Anderson out of Columbus and/or offersheet Pulock. Leverage draft picks that won't make an immediate impact.
