Pat’s deep thoughts included:
Colorado is gonna have to dump some salary if they want to make such a move…
That Nichushkin contract looks like an anchor ($6.5M til 2029/30)… the guy produces, when he is not injured or out for long periods dues to other reasons (which seems like every season).
They also just signed Nelson to a 3 x $7.5M contract to be their #2C.
And if Landeskog is really back, that is another $7M they did not have to worry about the last few years.
I just do not see how they make it work, plus fill in other holes in their lineup.
Never say never, but this seems unlikely.
