How is Jones and Galliardi more physical? Avs fans were saying Jones was soft.
And we already had Sven and Brodie while Tanguay and Bouwmeester was on the roster. They didn't replace them, they only got a promotion.
And what good would it serve us to go on a Columbus-like run? Why not draft a star forward or defensemen with our top 5 pick, while trading Stempniak + Cammy at the deadline for more future assets.
In 3 years we could have Janko, Ekblad, Gaudrea, Monahan, Reinhart. as our forward core. We saw this year how Monahan could have easily become Drouin or Jones, so why waste that opportunity again?
Jbo, Tangs had 57 hits while Jones and Sob players had 87 and Sob only played 28 games. We absolutely got more physical. Seeing how many fans will talk **** about Tangs after he got traded makes me believe that fans will say anything about a former player to make themselves feel better so I don't think you can put a lot of stock into the Avs fans opinions.
If you are on the tank bandwagon that is your choice I personally find it a joke that fans would ever cheer for their team to lose. You ask whats the point of going on a Columbus like run maybe you should ask their fans which season they preferred as they have done both. Top 5 picks are never a guarantee and I find it funny as hell that apparently Jones the next Pronger and we got stuck with Monahan who isn't that good. I would have taken Monahan over Jones if those were the choices as I was very vocal at the fact that I didn't think Jones would ever live up to his hype.
Sven 100% got Tangs ice time once he got hurt he did replace him at the end of last year and he was great. Brodie took over the #1 defenseman role after Jbo was traded and while not as good was not out of his element. We are replacing Tangs and Jbo with Sven and Brodie and are replacing what Sven and Brodie were last year with Jones, Galiaradi, Sob.
