They can essentially bring back every single player on this years roster if they wish. There’s salary cap issues if they go look to add more big pieces but the Avs can lock up all the players they wish to bring back all while their youth (which is high end) works their way in.
This isn’t like when Chicago had to sell off all their pieces they couldn’t afford. They can’t exactly go shopping for shiny new toys but they won’t have to lose anyone they don’t want to. I’m curious if they get creative and try to acquire a Merzlikins/Kuemper instead of giving Grubauer his worth and that would allow them to have some more fun with additions.
It's also not like Chicago because they didn't win the Cup.
It's nice that the Avs can bring back a team that lost in the 2nd rd, but they probably don't want to do that. Still, Landeskog isn't getting younger, Makar isn't getting cheaper, and the goalies aren't getting better.
