Cale Makar, Mikko Rantanen, Nazem Kadri Stanley Cup speech

The Avs' Cale Makar, Mikko Rantanen and Nazem Kadri speaks at the Avs' Stanley Cup victory ceremony.

[@alwong604]

Cale giving props to his partner is the reason this guy is going to be a LEGEND...

[@williewalker8048]

He reminds me so much of Bobby Orr. His humbleness and humility speak volumes. Being his defense partner must be an absolute charm. You have the most talented player in the world and also the humblest.

[@neerajtohan2507]

He already is

[@maekoh]

he's by far the best defensemen in the league, he's already a legend and he's so young.

I hope this means Lekhy gets re-signed if him and Rantanen are good friends already. I'm not even an avs fan but I like seeing him succeed. One of my favourites as a hab.

[@Abcd-rb3zg]

He’s a restricted free agent so he most likely will be back

[@xarkkal7662]

Lehky is an RFA, so the Avs have his signing rights. The whole reason Sakic was willing to give up what he did to get him is because he is going to be more than a rental. He will be an Av for a while!

[@kingofmemes5017]

I forgot he's still an RFA. Best move of the deadline. That trade seems like a win-win and I hope Barron develops well for the habs.

Congrats Colorado, from a Canucks fan. What a beauty of a team, I was definitely cheering for them against Tampa. Grew up watching Sakic and Forsberg so Colorado would probably be my second favourite team if I had one.

[@frederickglass1583]

Blues fan here, doffing my cap to the Avs. It was a helluva SCP this year, but to see Makar show off a generational talent in himself, then get Playoffs MVP and become a Stanley Cup Champion... You guys have something special in this kid. If he asks for a raises, Sakic should only ask "how much ya want, kid?" Congrats again to the entire Avs organization(except Kroenke, fuck that guy) See y'all in October!!!!🏒🏒🏒

Moose was thrown 5-6 beers and missed them all while the truck was stopped. Bo wore more beer than he drank....AND HE DRANK A LOT.

Look at all those baby faces up there man our future looks great.

[@trvman1]

Just remember when those young kids contracts come up, they will chase the $$$$$$$$$$$$$. So they very easily could be gone. It will be all about Cap space. Joe is smart, he won't be like Edmonton and use a huge amount of money on just a few players. That's why they have had such a good team over the last several years.

[@BookJay35]

@@trvman1 our core will be here for a long time Just keep these guys in tact and surround them like Joe has been doing with unselfish players who want to prove the teams that let them go wrong

[@Milehighsnake98]

Unfortunately we have 10 unrestricted free agents, 2 restricted free agents this year alone. And next year 2 more RFA and 3 more UFA to deal with. This year Aube-Kubel, Lehkonen are RFA, Burakovsky, Cogliano, Helm, Kadri, Nichushkin, Sturm, J. Johnson, Manson and Murray are all UFA. Next year MacKinnon, Compher and EJ are UFA and Newhook and Byram are RFA.

[@ryanjacob3338]

I really want the sign and trade kind of thing. Give him the deal, the term, the money he deserves, with the understanding we will likely trade him in a year and let him approve the trade partners. Then he gets his term and money, and we get another year to develop a young center. But whatever sakic does I'm sure he knows there are ways around things, and knows what roster options make sense for him.
