They had Bryram and turned him into Middlestat who was turned into Coyle who was shipped out as a cap dump. They signed Nelson to 3 years and gave up a 1st and their best prospect. Landeskgog and MacKinnon are over 30. Necas may stay for around the same money that Rantanen got in Dallas which is a pretty big failure for the Avs.
Does Makar want to sign his last max term deal on a team on the down swing or does he want to come home to open a brand new rink with a team on the upswing?

When you have a player like MacKinnon you ride out their prime years and try to build around them. You don't trade them at 30. The team is also playing great so far this year, with Necas and Wedgewood on fire.
All efforts should be made towards signing Necas first. They have until the deadline to decide on that, but can probably get a great roster player for him in return if he doesn't want to sign.
