Cap space allocation.

Colorado just seems like a less likely destination give they paid heavily for a second line center last year, resigned him and is playing well.

Necas has been playing right wing for the vast majoriy of his time with the Avs, lining up alongside Nathan MacKinnon. Brock Nelson plays center on the 2nd line but he's aging as well and is a UFA. Think they'd love to have Kadri back, he's obviously a match there, would give them some fantatic depth heading into the playoffs and proven he can step up in big games.

Nelson's not a UFA until 27-28.

They resigned Nelson last summer and he currently has 42 points in 49 games. Could be wrong but it doesn't seem like 2c will be a priority for Colorado given the trade they made last year and how well it's worked out for them.

Minnesota seems like a contender that actually needs a 2c.

Nelson is signed for 2 more years after this one. He has 42 points and aging better than Kadri right now. Kadri's continuing cap hit as he ages is likely a luxury they prefer not to have.

They are officially retooling

A team is better suited trading for Kadri and putting him in a lower slot. He'll still be a good 2C, but he would be an elite 3C. If Colorado had C depth of Mackinnon, Nelson, Kadri they are even more of a dominant favorite to win the Cup.

Unless I'm wrong, it looks like the Avs could manage Kadri's cap hit for the next 3 years.

we can take on a contract now and then help them even further by signing Makar...because CC is a good guy
