Hey there! I just read about the Colorado Avalanche's upcoming free agents and their potential contracts, and I have to say, the situation with Mikko Rantanen is absolutely critical for the team. He’s been a cornerstone of their offense, and losing him would be a massive blow. His consistent performance, especially with back-to-back 100-point seasons, shows just how valuable he is.
If they let him walk, it would be nearly impossible to replace that kind of talent. I think the Avalanche need to prioritize locking him down with a long-term deal, even if it means shelling out a hefty sum. The rumored $14 million AAV is steep, but he’s worth every penny in my opinion.
On the other hand, Jonathan Drouin's situation is a bit more complicated. He has the potential to be a game-changer when healthy, but his injury history makes it tough to commit long-term. It’s a gamble, but if he can stay on the ice, he could be a key contributor alongside the likes of MacKinnon.
What do you think about the Avalanche's chances this season? Do you believe they can make a deep playoff run with their current roster?
