The East is gonna be a friggin blood bath.

 

[Foppa2118]

Joe is gonna give a first for Copp and I’m gonna lose it. Lol

I'm ok with giving up a 1st for Copp as opposed to just getting someone like Clutterbuck.

 

[Avaholic29]

I’d pay a 1st for Copp.

I’m not sure why so many fans would rather get rag dolled in a playoff format than spend a first who ends up being a martin kaut or Tyson Jost level player. Avs suck at drafting outside the top 10 too.

 

[Foppa2118]

44.5%? f***ing Melnyk fighting for every penny.

The East is gonna be a friggin blood bath.

Whoever comes out of it is going to cake walk the west team.

 

[Sea Eagles]

A league leading team that’s heavily carried by the top 6 and top pairing D pair. Our bottom 6 compared to other contenders is putrid and we will get throttled by any team in the east in a 7 game series.. this has been the case for 4 years and counting now I’m surprised people still don’t see it.

Is that right? Girard, EJ, J Johnson, Manson, Murray (and hopefully Byram) don't add anything?
Also, our bottom 6 now consist of Sturm, Helm, JT, LOC, NAK (also newish) and Newhook. That's vastly different to last years P/O's

This hasn't been updated with Sturm and Manson yet but it's still clearly indicative of where the Avs main weakness is (i.e. bottom 6 forwards).

 

[Avs44]

Tampa Bay is amongst the best run teams I have ever seen, in any pro sport. Their last five-six years have just been a blueprint for how to set up a winning franchise.

 

[Goulet17]

And he is slower.

TB seems to have become slower overall as a team, now losing Joseph from its bottom 6 after losing Goodrow and Coleman last year. I don't like the Paul for Joseph trade for TB.

Edit: I forgot Gourde as well.

Not entirely. However, those picks are more valuable being spent for the TDL.

 

[Richard88]

Am I crazy for thinking Tampa maybe didn’t even just get better? I think Nick Paul’s a little overrated. If he’s better than Joseph it isn’t by much.

Their bottom 6 is gonna be an animal to play against.

Paul - Colton - Hagel
Maroon - Bellemare - Perry

 

[Azrael89]

I can understand that. I just don’t think Copp, if he’s our last addition, is enough to get us past any of these more stacked teams.

LOL, having a rookie being middle (and placed on second line) and with Nuke just magically missing. Really?

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Yeah that's a pretty good price. Not sure what the equivalent would have been on our end.

Probably LOC straight up and I would’ve passed.

 

[Richard88]

That retention could be indicative of another move that Tampa has planned, if they're gonna cut it fine down to the last dollar.

Bigger, but I don't like the downgrade in skating overall from their bottom 6 last year. It is a significant difference and their bottom 6 is much weaker in my mind than last year.

I am not sure how much stock to give this. It also does not include Nuke. So no Nuke, no Manson, and no Sturm over Jost.

 

[Foppberg]

I mean Paul is bigger, but.. seems like a downgrade for them.

But it's also Tampa, so I trust their judgement lol

The bottom 6 outside Newhook is 4th liners or AHLers.

Your talent assessment is godawful. NAK has been awful the last 2 months. LOC has taken a step backwards and is overplayed. Compher sucks and gives 0 effort. Helm… lol. Sturm it’s hard to say.

I see 3 NHLers in the bottom 6. 2 should be 4th liners and nothing more.

Your positive outlook is seriously admirable but you have to be either naive or completely blind to see that our bottom 6 isn’t a cup winning bottom 6.

As I said, it's a bit outdated. The Avs definitely do still need help on the 3rd line.

Not that I disagree with your point, but why is Nuke missing here?

The Paul move could have been made specifically with Toronto and Florida in mind. Both of those added big LHD's in Chiarot, Hagg, and Giordano. Paul gives Tampa a battering ram against those guys.

Yup, when Landy is back, Newhook is down there, Sturm is new, Helm was a beast last game (hope he keeps that up), LOC (you know what you get there), Compher and NAK.
