Mackinnon will not be playing on such a powerful team going forward.
The Cap is going to tear the Avs apart. 20M in space to sign
UFA Landeskog
UFA Saad
RFA Jost (arbitration rights)
RFA Makar (They signed Rantanen to a 6 x 9.25 in his first RFA year and Makar is better, more valuable)
UFA Nemeth
PLus 2 goalies
Plus they will likely have another spot to fill after the expansion draft.
Johnson NMC, Girard, Makar, would be the protected guys: Toews, Graves would obviously be top-4 maybe 3 on most teams in the League.
It will be interesting to see who takes advantage of Colorado's situation.
