An offer sheet would be sweet.

Nope. Stepan with his ELC has more value to a cap team like the Rangers.

Avs beat writer says the team doesn't have much interest in a center being a part of the package in return for him. I guess Stepan isn't a target anymore.

Kind of refreshing to hear their main concern is a Dman.

Absolutely.

If Sather did indeed call the Avs with Del Zotto being offered in return, both sides are idiots. Sather for offering a top pair 2-way d-man and the Avs for asking more to pile on.

Avs have plenty of d-men with practically no value that they would look to move if they have a d-man coming in.

O'Brien
O'Byrne
Hunwick

So O'Reilly + defender doesn't have to mean it's worth all that much more than O'Reilly.

Yes, Mitchell has filled the void of 3rd line centre quite admirably, and at just a lil' over a mill.
