Going with Maltsev for the poll because he’s likely going to be a regular and I don’t know much about him or what to expect.

I’m looking forward to watching Kuemper and Murray as well but they don’t fall into either one of those categories. They’ll be good as long as they’re healthy.

Olausson is intriguing as the latest first rounder but I don’t expect him to play in any NHL games past preseason.

I’m just pretending MacDermaid doesn’t exist and there’s not much to look forward to there anyways.

 

[henchman21]

MacDonald on his way to his first of 13 Norris Trophies. Only correct answer!

 

[Richard88]

I'm going with MacDermid because of the position he plays

 

[Ararana]

This guy:



*only 19 GP still counts as new

 

[BrickNHL]

MMA made me legit lol

 

[ASmileyFace]

Macdermid or Jake Paul? Who'd win

 

[McMetal]

I'm going with other, Wingerli. I'm very curious to see what he can do on NA ice. The more I look at him, the more he intrigues me.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

DK about to become the first Avs goalie to ever win a Vezina. Sorry Pat you should have been better.

Oh shiznite I knew I forgot somebody. I added him to the poll.

 

[TruePowerSlave]

Most excited for Byram and its not even close. All the tools to be a great player, but nothing is certain yet.

 

[henchman21]

Macdermid or Jake Paul? Who'd win

Sadly... Jake Paul.

 

[Avsboy]

Sadly... Jake Paul.

Not sure. MacDermid is a super heavyweight

 

[henchman21]

Not sure. MacDermid is a super heavyweight

Paul can actually box... I F hate the guy, but I'd place my bet on the 198 pound boxer over the 233 pound hockey player.

 

[Richard88]

Sadly... Jake Paul.

MacDermid is 6'4'' (1.96m) compared to Jake Paul who is about 6'0' (1.85m), so MacDermid has a pretty substantial 4 inch reach advantage.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Olausson is a pretty easy pick. I’m looking forward to Kuemper winning games, I admit I dont sit there and specifically watch goalies.

 

[AvsFan29]

Most excited for Byram and its not even close. All the tools to be a great player, but nothing is certain yet.

If he can live up to his potential, our defence is going to be disgusting

 

[henchman21]

MacDermid is 6'4'' (1.96m) compared to Jake Paul who is about 6'0' (1.85m), so MacDermid has a pretty substantial 4 inch reach advantage.

Paul is a trained boxer… he’d win quite easily

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Give MacDerimid a year to train and he ends it in the 1st round.

 

[Avs44]

I picked Kuemper for the poll for obvious reasons. Not only are we gonna get to watch him kick ass on the ice for 20-40 games, but we're gonna get several solid months to watch and evaluate his nacho eating ability when he's in the pressbox on LTIR.

 

[AllAboutAvs]

I voted Wingerli because if he adjusts quickly to the NA ice he could help our depth quite a bit. Kuemper, Murray, Maltsev, Olausson are all players I'm looking forward to seeing on the ice and see how much they can help. However I think Olausson will end up in the OHL which I'm OK with.

Guys not on the list...Byram will be important comes playoffs time. Barron is another I will be following closely because I think he will get an opportunity due to injuries to showcase himself.

 

[The Abusement Park]

I'm going with MacDermid because of the position he plays

I'm going with MacDermid because he's going to punch some faces.

 

[Sea Eagles]

Olausson is a pretty easy pick. I’m looking forward to Kuemper winning games, I admit I dont sit there and specifically watch goalies.

They do look the coolest

 

[Avsboy]

Give MacDerimid a year to train and he ends it in the 1st round.

Probably about three months training. We all saw that Logan Paul held his own against a much smaller Mayweather, who trained his whole life. Size is key in boxing.

Say that to Kostya Tszyu (my favorite all time boxer). If I saw him giving lip in a bar (and didn't know who he was), I'd likely go up and tell him to pull his head in being the midget he is, he'd then go on to destroy me haha. Here he is with his son, Tim (who is also undefeated, and being avoided by everyone around the world):
