I’m not opposed but if it happens Benning better make them retain at least 25% of that salary. 6 mil for a 36 year old dman is not gonna sell to our fan base right now. Boychuk (25% retained) colorado 2021 2nd for 2021 7th round pick. I can get behind that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they see him being a good fit with Hughes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duodenum Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Got the Avs as the cup favourite next year. Joe Sakic the GM looks as good as Joe Sakic the player, wish we could pry him out over to the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if VAN were to give up a 2nd they would be better off to sign Pulock to offer sheet up to $4.3 m and not have the headache of Boychuk's cap hit / salary. Perhaps a 2nd round pick would not be enough!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 We should just offer sheet Sergachev at 6.5 mil. Would anyone not give up a 1st and a 3rd for him? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have some good dmen in the pipeline, but they would match a Pulock offer sheet unless it was absolutely outrageous. I don’t think they want to let Boychuk go but to keep Barzal and Pulock, they need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they want to let Boychuk go but to keep Barzal and Pulock, they need to. Exactly, this is the Islanders making some tough decisions to keep their key two young players on the team. It's not much different then what we had to do this off-season except that we're one year away from the important RFAs. Just a little heads up since no one has mentioned it, but the last four days have taken the Avs from a team that's got lots of cap space to a team that's almost right up against it. They have just under 7 million left to resign Toews (2.5 million), Jost (1.5 million) and Kamenev (1 million) and get two more roster players for that money. Sakic's done a great job though, and it all started with MacKinnon taking a big discount on his deal in order to be able to ice a competitive team. I'm really hoping that Elias and Quinn put team success ahead of them earning that extra 1 or 2 million. Having both of them back on a long term deal for 7.5 - 8.5 mil/year would be a strong setup for our internal cap structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
