Whoo boy. That's a whole lotta money.

they need to clear cap now
I would LOVE to see Brian Rolston back in an Av’s uni. Between him and Mueller we could have a HUGE slapshot on both pp units. plus if i remember right we’re sort of short on LW’s
Yeah, but at almost $5.1M per for 2 years? Seems like a lot to pay for +/- 20 goals/year.

true
but cap isn’t an issue, only whether or not they’ll pony up the cash

I would think that number would bump up seeing as NJ is not a very offensive minded team compared to the Avs. I could see him scoring 25-30 and being a very very nice role model for Mueller’s game which could be worth 5

it is, hence why they’d have to include a major asset along with him (of course assuming the Avs were willing to pony up). discussion on hf has yielded 2 trades that Avs fans say seem right: Rolston + 1st for 7th, and Rolston + Urbom for Cumiskey. Man would I love Urbom on this team.
Moot point though, there’s no way they hurt the bottom line with Rolston’s salary,
Unfortunately, I agree that it’s moot, but I’d be very tempted at Rolston, Urbom & 1st for Cumiskey. Very, very tempted.

They aren’t negotiating from a position of strength. They have to clear salary, we are in a position to help, but our help comes at a cost. We’ll make an offer they can’t refuse, it’s all a matter of knowing how to negotiate with the boys from “joisey.”

This is ALWAYS overblown.
The idea that a team is negotiating from a position of weakness doesn’t mean another team can casually stroll on in and fleece the shit out of them is overplayed in every trading scenario ever.
A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.
REALLY?????
Sign me up. Well throw in Zubrus and Salvador too.

At this point
Us Devils fans would love to give you Rolston, Salvador, and Zubrus for a handshake and a pat on the back.

And heck, we have lots of extra pucks now that Tucker won’t keep falling on them and breaking them. Speaking of Tucker, I bet you guys could talk him into a nice, friendly cap hit these days, especially if you made it a really long contract and made the last five years at $20 each or something.
Thanks but no thanks
I still admire Cam Janssen for going at him all the time. Can’t have him. So we got a deal of Rolston, Zubrus, Salvador for Cumiskey and a pick? Have a nice day Avs fans!

Elias is straight up scared to come to this state.
Dunno why…

it may have something to do with this too:

Really? Last time I checked the numbers looked like this in terms of Stanley Cups:
Bourque = 1
Elias = 2
