The top 6 forwards and top 4D looks dynamite. The 1st line will wreck teams. Landeskog - Kadri - Saad should go against top lines and shut them down. Finally Makar gets a better partner and Graves is on the 3rd pair where he belongs.

I hope Byram will eventually replace Cole and once that happens the mobility and skill of the Dcore is going to be too much to handle for most teams.

Byram, Toews and Saad are such good additions to what was already an elite team. Sakic is God.

Can't vote other, but the answer is other Sherwood. High energy player, right shot, some scoring talent, and can PK. He has a decent chance at grabbing a full time, bottom 6 spot.

You know that meme where the guy is walking beside his girl friend, but he’s looking back at a hot chick?

That’s like me right now. I should be thinking about the Avs new trade acquisitions, but my mind keeps straying to Bowen Byram.

@UncleRisto What does Antero Pertti Elias Niittymaki mean?
Byram isn’t even going to be at training camp is he?
He's probably going to go to the taxi squad when he's done with the WJC and practice until Bednar sees something he likes. I haven't really read what these squads are exactly, but I know you can't save against the cap in them and I guess they're there to prevent postponements if some of the main squad gets Covid.

Absolutely loving the blue pants and gloves. And of course the white helmet... No ad on the helmet yet...


The blue pants and gloves with white jerseys and helmet isn't going to look good. I remember seeing a render of it a few months ago and it looked awkward.

Landeskog-Kadri-Saad is such a stingy line. I do question whether or not Saad can hit the 20 goal mark with those guys though. Interested to see how they will be utilized.

EDIT: Still thinking with an 82 game mindset. 14 goals is the real bar.
