people liked Pod as early as top 3 in that draft if I recall.

People were obsessed with how good he looked vs men and how NHL ready he was. There were a select few teams that adored him. The skill became an apparent issue and his IQ/skating combo is really lacking. I think there is a NHL player there, but I'm not sure he's more than a 3rd liner ever. If that.

RyJo is going to be living his best life is Napa.

 

[The Moops]

What a bum

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Danny boy, there's no thinking involved. Anyone that watched him with the Avs this seasons knows RyJo can't play hockey.

I think it's funny that even Bailey says that RyJo is only claiming to be injured.

If Johansen just LTIRetires that will just further prove the joke that that audit system is

Who would you acquire with a Manson, Georgie and 2024 1st?

2025 2nd and future considerations?

 

[Balthazar]

Can we talk about the fact that the Avs knew LAST SUMMER that Frankie wasn't coming back this year yet they made no effort to find a real backup goalie for Georgiev? The plan really was to run Georgiev into the ground and play him 65 games.

This org really doesn't care about overplaying players then we wonder why we have so many injuries.

They pigeon hole themselves into these situations because they suck at drafting which leads to expending more assets than normal just to operate year to year and therefore having a general lack of premium assets they are ever willing to give up. The lack of assets forces them to try the shitty players they draft or acquire by other means out of necessity, pride, or just ignorance.

It’s honestly a shame the dumb luck this franchise has found over the years (Roy trade/acquiring a good nordiques roster/countless top picks) as it as it has enabled this horrible hockey operations to continue on thinking everything is fine when in reality this is one of the poorest runs teams in the league.

Perhaps when it comes to submitting game day rosters, players are simply commodities.

Use 'em or lose 'em...

It's a big miss that they didn't go after a reasonably priced UFA goalie.

We only know they weren’t successful in bolstering goaltending we don’t know that they didn’t try.

I'm pretty sure they said they were working on things but they didn't pan out. They were trying.

 

[Balthazar]

I wonder if Utah could be interested in Girard this summer?

They'll have cap space, they have holes at D and an owner willing to spend money.

I could have worded that better. They aren't there to try, they are there to achieve.

What would you want in return?

 

[BobRossColton]

2025 2nd and future considerations?

Uhhh.. Better answers..

 

[Balthazar]

What would you want in return?

Nothing. Just getting 0 contract in return would be fine so we can get the full cap space. We really need it.

How about valimaki and a pick?

that’s a contract so no.
