Imagine you are the Colorado Avalanche. You are defending Cup Champs and you are working on a deal for Nichushkin who was a big part of your championship after previously being a very inconsistent player. The AAV is a problem and Val’s agent isn’t budging. You are walking away from Nazem Kadri. You currently are sitting there with a Cup and alot of Cap Space. You are going to have to sign MacKinnon and Makar to big deals soon, but not yet…

Patrick Kane, still at the top of his game, is sitting out there, unhappy, and wanting to go to a Contender…He only has a year left on his deal at 10.5. If yiou bring him in, you could negotiate an extension that would give you a combo of MacKinnon and Kane for years to come.

I talked to a source this morning and the source told me clearly. “There is no doubt Sakic is taking a VERY long look at this. It makes a ton of sense and can solidify so much moving forward.”

What would you do?
