Look at the defense he’s playing behind. I know the Avs defense sucks but it’s a lot better then the product he has to play behind every night. Hell Martin faced like 60 something shots like a week ago with the eagles. When Frank has played for the Avs the boys play better in front of him. The season looks like it’s going down the ****ter best case scenario is he turns into the ham burgler for a stretch and the worst case he sucks and the Avs play the same way they have been. Doesn’t hurt to try.
So that defense for the Eagles is to blame for some stats but its not a problem for the Avs? Nice how that works.
We have 2 undersized guys in Barrie and Girard who are complete liabilities in their own end. They cant win a puck battle or clear the front of the net if their lives depended on it. Throw in Cole who is mediocre right now and was directly responsible for the 1st goal last night when he made a horrible decision to pinch leading to a 2 on 1 and Nemeth who is a walking pylon. Zadorov is inconsistent but at least he is physical.
We have 4 guys who are liabilities and playing more minutes than they should. We need a guy who can play 24 or 25 minutes a night.
Secondary scoring is a huge problem as we are lacking an entire 2nd line but the draft and a free agent should solve that. But we also need a top pair of Dmen.
Erik Karlsson would be great but I don't know if he would come here. Money talks though. Tyler Myers would be a nice consolations. Maybe we can make a trade for Oscar Klefbom and his 25 minutes a night. I'd do Barrie for Klefbom.
I don't know what to do with Girard either. He has not been good this year.
