Nichushkin was a reclamation project that paid off very well for the Avs.
He was going to be offered 7*7 and he is only 27 and he is a core player.
His worth cannot be measured just in points, he is great defensively and style fits perfectly with what the Avs play.
As an Avs fan I want everybody back but Nichushkin is the FW I absolutely wanted back for sure. Kadri is going to get a lot of money and good on him but he is already 32 and that contract is not going to age well. Burakovsky is still a possibility but the Avs may be better off spending money elsewhere or making room for younger players like Newhook, Kaut, Ranta, Meyers.
I would love to have Manson back but trying to match what his value will be would take up too much of the cap.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Girard traded- Toews and Byram are the D on the left hand side and I don't like the idea of playing Girard on his weak side.

Colorado must be adding a center if not two, they only have 9F signed but have about 10-11M after Lehkonen is signed(+- 4M AAV)...Trochek or R.Strome makes sense plus a few depth forwards with Burakovsky possibly moving on...

A trade around Girard and Dvorak would make sense, especially if the Habs sign Colin White or trade for Dubois as rumored. Hoffman is another guy that may interest Colorado if Burakovsky walks.

all well and good two years ago he scored zero goals in 57 games no way he's a guy you throw max term at..... lets revisit this in 3 years

Manson re-signs 4 years at 18M...Girard leaving?

someone likely leaving Colorado on the trade front eventually, they also want to re-sign Kadri so someone has to go...

I am not loving the totality of Colorado's moves this offseason ... Nicushkin, Manson ... this is how you go from being in a good cap situation to a bad one in one off-season ...

Ryan Strome is a poor choice....... if they were to go that direction
the Manson signing doesn't really do much to upset the applecart and I think trading Girard would make lots of sense
the Nicushkin deal tho is gonna hurt at some point

Kadri is still a possibility but that is where I would be careful on term with him at 32 years of age.
I wouldn't be surprised to see them go with Newhook at #2 C , he was drafted in 2019 with that in mind. Give him a go and see if he is ready, they have Bednar's favourite toy in Compher to fill in put in during the season and I suspect Sakic looks for a second line center via the trade route.
Girard will most likely be dealt for the #2 C at some point especially with Manson resigned and Toews and Byram on the left hand side.

If not Kadri then maybe a Dvorak-Girard type deal...helps both teams. Dvorak buys time for Newhook and can take tougher minutes.

Evan Rodrigues signed for 1 year, he won't replace the Kadri of 2021-2022 but he should be a good fit with the Avs. Hopefully he will take advantage of his situation, one year contract on a team where he should get good numbers and explode. He should provide some cover for Newhook and he keeps Compher on the 3rd line where he is best suited.

surprised it took this long for a team to sign Rodrigues, he had a pretty good season
