boubabi 4,725 Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 Quote The Colorado Avalanche have started the buyout process for the final year defenceman Francois Beauchemin's contract. Since Beauchemin was on a +35 contract the Avalanche are still on the hook for his full $4.5 million cap hit next season, but will only owe him $3 million in salary payable over the next two seasons.

So they take 3 NHL calibre goalies and the rest is for players with large contracts and low contracts.

Gooningitup 1,290 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I think its interesting risk, Drouin is like Galy, a talent who hasnt quite emerged consistently.

Expand For sure they are, Drouin also has the higher upside, due to skill package. I think it can be great for both teams. But its a risk if he just stays in the dog house in Montreal its a hard price to pay. He also has pressure being a frankophone star in a frankphone town. So when hes cold, which he gets on its going to be tough.

So when hes cold, which he gets on its going to be tough. Expand Well yeah but a goal scorer in the doghouse is different from a guy who is a net nuisance and goes hard into the corners. Gally is a pain to play against, Drouin is a pain to play against as well, but for different reasons. The only comparison between the two is that Brendan and Jonathan are both young. That being said, if Drouin is one of their main sources of offence, even he won't be in the doghouse for long.

People keep bringing up Brodin who is a really underrated player. Would be amazing with Weber, but it also seems counter productive. It's gonna be tough to figure out what to do if Radulov really wants 7-8 years.
