Rant could make it, but I would rather have him get some seasoning under his belt.
let him dominate the AHL this season

Turns out we are putting Alex Semin on Duchene's line on a veteran minimum contract.

It's not 2009 where we have A) no depth and B) Semin had value.

Twitter is excellent. The minute one name hits the market, there will be some form of buzz on Twitter linking that name to the Avs.

So far if I went strictly by Twitter the Avs bottom six would have a Richards, Semin line.........eeeeeck!

Funny seeing the Sabres fans backtracking on Zadorov...a quick search on HFboards tells the tale through this poll though:

It's like when your girl breaks up with you and you're trying to tell all your friends that she never mattered anyway. Everybody knows you're lying.

8 million a year would have been some serious buyers remorse come next year for the Avs

lots of heat about Grigo too. They are good pieces. They got a good player in ROR and Avs got 3 young Players back that our current roster and prospect pool just didn't have. I think its Win Win

Whats everyones thoughts on Oduya being a target? I am ok with it if its a 3 or 4 year deal around 4m. Anything crazier than that...ugh

I personally think he should only be our Plan B target. I don't see him signing for 4 million though, I heard rumors he was looking for 5 million a year. Not sure the Avs should give that to him unless Sekora is off the board.

Term wise I agree it's a good length, I'd prefer no higher than 4.5 a year.

5m and hes crazy, no way he can be worth that. I would rather give Beauchamin his 5m over Oduya

I agree completely. He was good in the playoffs this year, and would be a great top-4 pairing but not at 5 million a year for 4 years.

Would you take a shot a Green?

Green is still good, and if anyone who discredits him really hasnt watched him play lately. He will be very expensive but I wouldnt mind him. Just that he is a RHS. Not sure if he can play Left side or not.

Franson has played LHS before, so I can see that being a possibility

I think our options are pretty good with our cap the way it is where we can take a look at quite a few options on D. We should be in on all available D free agents IMO. Obviously my ranking goes:

Sekora
Green
Franson
Oduya

I am indifferent to it. If they can move Stuart I like this deal more.

Zads EJ
Beauch Barrie

Its not the best top 4 but it still is way better than what we had....but now since they didnt drop the 5-6m on a Dman, do they take a run at a forward like Frolik. IF they sign him, I would be happy with UFA

Beaucheimin should hold down a spot in the top 4 for a year or two until one of the younger prospects is ready to step in. Then he hopefully has enough in the tank to be solid on the 3rd pair.
